Major Indices Ended Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished little changed on Monday. The Dow was up 5 points to 21012. The S&P 500 finished flat at 2399 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 2 points to 6102. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by a 7-5 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 61 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 69 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a 3rd consecutive gain and touched a new record high.
The major averages' (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend, and there has remains a healthy level of market leadership (number of high-ranked stocks hitting new highs). New buying efforts should be made only in stocks matching all of the fundamental and technical criteria of the fact-based investment system. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages fluctuated on the session after centrist Emmanuel Macron claimed victory in the French presidential election, defeating anti-EU opponent Marine Le Pen. While Macron was widely favored by investors, most of the gains embedded into the result seem to have already been priced in the markets. In Fed news, Cleveland President Loretta Mester stated that the central bank should continue its gradual path of raising interest rates to prevent the risk of overheating the U.S. economy.
Seven of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in negative territory. Materials underperformed with LyondellBasell Industries (LYB -4.02%) down after being the subject of negative analyst commentary. In earnings, Tyson Foods (TSN -6.08%) down after quarterly profit came in below Street forecasts. Newell Brands (NWL +11.94%) rose as the household products maker reported better-than-expected quarterly results. On the M&A front, Kate Spade (KATE +8.31%) rose after agreeing to a $2.4 billion takeover bid from Coach (COH +4.81%). Charter Communications (CHTR -3.28%) fell after announcing a new operational agreement with Comcast (CMCSA +0.49%) on wireless communications plans.
Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 9/32 to yield 2.38%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 0.4% to $46.42/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.4%. |

Bullish Technical Action Following Recent Earnings
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Arista Networks Inc (ANET -$1.97 or -1.36% to $142.75) pulled back today. On the prior session it rallied above its "max buy" level hitting a new all-time high with a big volume-driven gain. The gain followed the recently reported quarter as its Mar '17 earnings rose +37% on +39% sales revenues versus the year ago period. ANET has shown strong and steady increases in quarterly sales revenues while earnings have routinely been well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong, however, its history is limited since its $43 IPO in June of 2014.
Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks. It was last shown in this FSU section on 4/05/17 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Any Sound Base After a Considerable Rally ". ANET is up +52.18% since first highlighted at $93.80 in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2015 high plus 10 cents in the 11/21/16 mid-day report (read here). Along the way, a damaging loss on 1/17/17 with heavy volume raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal. It halted its slide near prior highs in the $87 area and eventually rebounded above its 50 DMA line helping its outlook to improve.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 360 in Dec '15 to 461 Mar '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The high-ranked Computer - Networking firm has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. Its small supply of 44.6 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - Pulled back today with light volume, closing just above its 50 DMA line. Recent gains above the pivot point lacked the above average volume needed to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. The 50 DMA line ($23.80) and recent low ($21.89 on 3/22/17) define support where violations would raise more serious concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals.

Its current Relative Strength rank is 79, just below the 80+ guideline for buy candidates.
