AstraZeneca (AZN +9.2%) rallied after its immunotherapy drug was shown to reduce the risk of death from lung cancer. In M&A news, Sprint (S +1.02%) amid preliminary talks with controlling shareholder SoftBank (SFTBY -2.13%) about merging with T-Mobile US (TMUS -0.40%).

Holding Ground After Recent Gains Lacking Great Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Ulta Beauty Inc's (ULTA -$2.36 or -0.79% to $297.55) volume totals have been cooling while stubbornly holding its ground near all-time highs. Recent gains lacked great volume while rising above the new pivot point cited based on its 3/17/17 high plus 10 cents. Confirming gains backed by at least +40% above average volume would trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. /

Prior highs near the $289 area define important support above its 50 DMA line ($284.51). Subsequent losses leading to violations would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

ULTA was shown in this FSU section on 4/07/17 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume Totals Cooling Following Technical Breakout". It was highlighted in the 3/06/17 mid-day report with a pivot point cited based on its 8/24/16 high plus 10 cents (read here). The volume-driven gain for new highs (N criteria) on 3/10/17 triggered a new technical buy signal.

Bullish action came after it reported Jan '17 quarterly earnings +33% on +25% sales revenues. Its prior earnings history satisfies the C and A criteria.

ULTA reported earnings +27%, +39%, +24%, and +26% in the Jan, Apr, Jul, and Oct '16 quarterly comparisons, respectively. Its strong earnings were underpinned by steady sales revenues increases in the +21-22% range during that span of time. Its solid annual earnings (A criteria) history is very reassuring.

It still has a small supply (S criteria) of only 62.1 million shares outstanding. The number of top-rated funds with an ownership interest has grown from 566 funds in Jun '14 to 1,288 funds as of Mar '17, which is a very encouraging sign of increasing institutional interest (the I criteria).
