Breadth Clearly Negative as Major Averages Abruptly Slump
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Nasdaq Composite plunged 5.0% to cap its biggest one-day drawdown in nearly two years as growth-related shares led the downturn. The Dow tumbled 1063 points, suffering its worst day since October 2020. The S&P 500 retreated 3.6%, with all 11 sectors falling more than 1%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by almost an 8-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 20 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 still in a market correction (M criteria).
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index slumped to a new 2022 low. Followers of the fact-based investment system know to watch for a follow-through day on Day 4-7 of a new rally attempt which could signal a new confirmed uptrend.
U.S. stocks staged a sharp reversal on Thursday, negating yesterday’s post-Federal Reserve (Fed) relief rally. Risk sentiment waned as investors deliberated a confluence of economic risks in the midst of the most aggressive Fed tightening cycle in 22 years. On Wednesday, the U.S. central bank announced the first 50-basis point (0.50%) rate hike since 2000 and signaled further increases of similar magnitude in the coming months as officials prioritize lowering inflation.
The Consumer Discretionary sector lagged with a 5.8% drawdown as soft forward guidance from both Etsy Inc. and eBay Inc. pressured other ecommerce companies. Treasuries resumed their rout, with the 10-year note yield climbing six basis points (0.06%) to 3.03%, a peak not seen since November 2018.
Economic updates also dented the mood. A gauge of U.S. productivity dropped by the biggest margin since 1947 (-7.5%) during the first quarter as economic activity contracted. Meanwhile, 30-year fixed mortgage rates spiked to the highest level since August 2009 (+5.27%). Overseas, an update showed China’s services activity shrank in April at the fastest pace in more than two years. Elsewhere, the Bank of England announced its fourth consecutive rate hike. The British pound tumbled 2.1% versus the U.S. dollar, sending the greenback up 0.9% against a basket of its peers.

Slump Below 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Simply Good Foods Co (SMPL -$1.93 or -4.80% to $38.32) suffered a big loss today with lighter volume while violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($39.42) raising concerns and triggering a technical sell signal. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve.
SMPL was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 1/04/22 high plus 10 cents in the 4/13/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 4/14/22 with an annotated graph included under the headline, "Simply Good Foods Had a Great Breakout". Following the breakout it soon stalled and slumped back into the prior base raising concerns.
SMPL reported Feb '22 quarterly earnings +44% on +29% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th strong quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). In 7 of the past 8 quarterly comparisons earnings were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. It currently has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating.
Its current Relative Strength Rating is 87, above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. SMPL completed a new Pubic Offering on 10/09/19. The company has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of D. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 357 in Dec '20 to 447 in Mar '22. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days.
Leadership has been provided by other companies in the Food/Beverage Sector, as the Food-Confectionery industry group has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 89 (A) is reassuring regarding the L criteria. There are only 5 companies listed in the group.

Reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +16% on +17% sales revenues versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns.

Most Recent Note - 5/5/2022 5:45:26 PM
Y - Gapped up today and hit a new all-time high, rising above prior highs in the $136 area that had acted as stubborn resistance in recent weeks. The gain and strong close above the pivot point helped clinch a convincing technical buy signal. New buying efforts may only be considered after a solid follow-through day confirms a new market uptrend (M criteria). Rebounded well above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with this week's gains. Bullish action came after it reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +154% on +22% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

G - Pulled back today with lighter volume. Spiked above its "max buy" level with a volume-driven gain on the prior session. Bullish action came after it reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +26% on +21% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Recently consolidating near its 50 DMA line ($19.60) which defines important near term support to watch. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.
