Breadth Positive While Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mixed on Wednesday. The Dow was down 32 points to 20943. The S&P 500 added 2 points to 2399 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 8 points to 6129. The volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE while and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 62 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 63 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating -1% off its 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 Wednesday after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. The reaction to Comey’s firing in the market was mostly subdued as a large number of investors believe tax reform will arrive in the near future. In contrast, some market participants speculate that Comey’s abrupt dismissal could delay key items in the administration’s agenda, including deregulation. On the data front, import prices rose 0.5% in April, above expectations.
Eight of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in positive territory. Energy shares paced the gains with oil prices rebounding back above $47/barrel. Technology stocks outperformed with NVIDIA Corp (NVDA +17.83%) rallied amid strong demand for its flagship chip products. In the consumer space, Electronic Arts (EA +12.65%) rose after the video game maker reported better-than-expected quarterly profit. Disney (DIS -2.15%) fell as quarterly revenue fell below Street forecasts amid higher programming costs at ESPN. Industrials finished lower with Boeing (BA -2.00%) falling with news the company temporarily suspended its 737 Max flights due to an engine issue.
Treasuries finished lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 2/32 to yield 2.41%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude rallied 3.3% to $47.41/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.3% to $1219.10/ounce. |

Breakaway Gap Followed Strong Earnings News
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Houlihan Lokey Inc (HLI +$2.00 or +5.89% to $35.97) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 3/31/17 high plus 10 cents after an orderly flat base. There was a "breakaway gap" today hitting new all-time highs with a considerable gain backed by +174% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks that are extended more than +5% above their prior high or pivot point. Recently it found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The high ranked Finance - Invest Bank//Broker firm reported earnings +37% on +40% sales revenues for the Mar '17 quarter, and 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earning guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) history is a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It has an Earnings Per share rating of 96.
It has a Timeliness rating of B and a Sponsorship rating of C. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 165 in Jun '16 to 226 in Mar '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 18.6 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - Consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($23.81). Recent gains above the pivot point lacked the above average volume needed to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent low ($21.89 on 3/22/17) defines important support where violations would raise more serious concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals.

G - Hitting yet another new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive gain, very extended from any sound base. Prior highs in the $64 area and its 50 DMA line define near term support to watch. Due to report earnings results for first quarter ended March 31, 2017 after the US market closes on May 10, 2017. The Sep and Dec '16 earnings were below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), and its waning sales revenues growth rate was noted as a fundamental concern.

Y - Finished in the upper half of its intra-day range after highlighted in the earlier mid-day report in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/31/17 high plus 10 cents. There was a "breakaway gap" and considerable gain today backed by +174% above average volume hitting new all-time highs and triggering a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +37% on +40% sales revenues for the Mar '17 quarter, and 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earning guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) history is a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
