TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses last week signaled a market correction (M criteria). Limiting losses and reducing market exposure is prudent until a new confirmed rally is noted.

Major Indices Posted Solids Gains Backed With Higher Volume

The S&P 500 rallied 2.5% for its best day since March 9, though still on course for its sharpest monthly drop since March 2020 (-5.3%). The Nasdaq Composite spiked 3.1%, but remains positioned for its worst month in over two years (-9.5%). The Dow jumped 614 points, paring its April decline to 2.2%. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of greater institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 2 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 2 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a noted market correction (M criteria) after technical damage cited in prior market commentaries published here. Strict followers of the fact-based investment system know to use great caution and always be prepared to reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been sputtering near the 2022 low.

U.S. stocks finished near their best levels on Thursday as positive earnings from Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. (FB +17.59%) provided a catalyst for a month-end rally. Additionally, oversold conditions and depressed positioning continued to serve as contrarian signals supportive of stocks.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors climbed more than 1%, with Technology stocks pacing the gains amid strength in chipmakers. Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM +9.69%) rose following a top and bottom line beat and improved outlook. The Communication Services group outperformed after Meta Platforms Inc.'s better-than-expected user metrics. Still, the social media company reported slowing revenue growth and offered soft guidance. Meanwhile, Comcast Corp. (CMCSA -6.19%) fell amid concerns of slowing growth in internet subscribers.

Economic data was also in focus. An advance reading of first-quarter U.S. GDP showed the economy unexpectedly contracted at an annualized 1.4% pace following a growth rate of 6.9% during the fourth quarter of 2021. Weakness overseas offset a jump in imports related to strong domestic consumer demand. Separately, weekly initial jobless claims came in at 180,000. Treasuries fluctuated, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up one basis point (0.01%) to 2.83%, having risen 50 basis points (0.50%) in April.

Testing Support at 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (REGN +$2.07 or +0.31% to $675.58) showed some resilience today and managed a "positive reversal" after undercutting its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($670). The recent deterioration below prior highs ($686 and $673) raised concerns. Keep in mind it is due to report earnings results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 on Wednesday, May 4th. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

REGN found support near its 200 DMA line ($632) during its consolidation in recent months. A new pivot point was cited based on its 12/14/21 high plus 10 cents. It hit a new high but then stalled since last covered in greater detail on 4/04/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume Totals Have Been Light While Hovering at All-Time High".

The high-ranked DRUGS - Biotechnology firm reported earnings +149% on +104% sales revenues for the Dec '21 quarter versus the year ago period. That marked its 6th quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and with a strong sales revenues growth rate. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

There are 2,775 top-rated funds that own its shares as of Mar '22, up from 2,376 in Dec '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. REGN completed a Secondary Offering on 5/28/20. There are 97.1 million shares in the public float (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
