Conditions are technically still considered a market "correction" (M criteria). Tuesday the market churned higher volume without making meaningful progress. Friday's and Monday's sessions were marked by a nice expansion in the list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs on both major exchanges while the Nasdaq Composite Index led its peers with solid gains. Volume totals on both days came in below the prior session totals. Investors are still cautioned about making new buying efforts until a solid follow-through day marked by higher volume is noted confirming a new uptrend.

Major Indices Little Changed While Churning Higher Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices ended mixed and little changed on Tuesday. The Nasdaq Composite closed -0.1% lower while the S&P 500 (+0.1%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.1%) closed slightly higher. The Russell 2000 continued its recent outperformance, gaining +0.4%. Volume reported was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE but decliners narrowly outnumbered advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 93 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 73 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices recently signaled a market correction (M criteria). Greater caution is important for all investors until a follow-through day signals a new confirmed uptrend.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Following earnings news from Walt Disney (DIS -9.51%) and Builders FirstSource (BLDR -19.05%) both fell. They were the worst performing stocks in the S&P 500 after disappointing earnings and/or guidance. Meanwhile, FMC Corp. (FMC +9.46%) and Intl Flavors (IFF +6.40%) were the top performing stocks in the S&P 500 in response to their quarterly results and outlook.
Only three of the S&P 500 sectors fell. Consumer discretionary (-0.6%) and information technology (-0.5%) sectors logged the biggest losses. The materials (+1.2%) and utilities (+1.1%) sectors led the outperformers.
The 2-yr note yield settled one basis point higher at 4.83% and the 10-yr note yield settled three basis points lower at 4.46%. The latest $58 billion 3-yr note sale was met with good demand.

Damaging Volume-Driven Loss After Earnings News
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Paymentus Holdings (PAY -$2.99 or -13.47% to $19.21) reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +150% on +25% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. It suffered a damaging loss today violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and undercutting the prior low triggering technical sell signals. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. It will be dropped from the Featurted Stocks list tonight.
Fundamentals remain strong. PAY has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating. Its 4 latest quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong since its $21 IPO in May '21.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 79 in Mar '23 to 122 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 17.2 million shares in the public float (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Gapped down today testing its 50 DMA line ($310) after a gain with +41% above-average volume for a best-ever close on the prior session.
