Major Indices Rose Without Great Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 191 points, while the S&P 500 advanced 1%. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.5% as growth-oriented shares outperformed. Volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 23 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 14 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Damaging losses for the major indices recently signaled a continuation of the market correction (M criteria). 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.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has seen volume totals cooling while sputtering near its 2022 low.
U.S. stocks finished higher in another choppy session Wednesday as Wall Street digested the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) May meeting minutes. Sentiment seemed to be supported by the lack of hawkish surprise. The release reaffirmed that most officials expect to implement two additional 0.50% rate increases during the upcoming June and July meetings. While committee members agreed that more restrictive policy could become appropriate, their aggressive approach to tightening early could leave the central bank “well positioned later this year to assess the effects of policy firming,” offering a potential pause in rate hikes.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Consumer Discretionary pacing gains. In earnings, Nordstrom Inc. (JWN +14.02%) rose after the high-end department store retailer raised its full-year sales forecast. Shares of Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc.(DKS +9.69%) reversed course to rally despite offering disappointing guidance. Meanwhile, Kohl’s Corp. (KSS +11.89%) rose following a report that bidders were still vying for an acquisition of the company. Elsewhere, luxury home builder Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL +7.97%) rose as evidence of its strong pricing power overshadowed commentary on somewhat moderating demand.
Treasuries were little changed, with the yield on the 10-year note holding steady at 2.76%. On the data front, preliminary April readings showed durable and capital goods orders increased less than expected during the month. Separately, mortgage applications dipped 1.2% in the latest week after declining 11% in the prior period. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude gained 0.9% to $110.73/barrel amid a weekly drop in domestic stockpiles.

Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Near All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Cigna Corp (CI +$0.79 or +0.30% to $265.75) posted a 4th consecutive small gain today with below average volume. It has been consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($253.41) after challenging its all-time high last week. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. New buying efforts may only be considered after a solid follow-through day confirms a new market uptrend (M criteria) under the fact-based investment system. Follow this closely in the daily market commentaries
CI was highlighted in yellow in the 5/06/22 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point cited based on its 4/21/22 high. It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Cigna Rises Near All-Time High."
CI has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported a strong +27% earnings increase on +7% sales revenues for the Mar '22 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 2,628 in Dec '21 to 2,681 in Mar '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The Medical - Managed Care group is currently ranked 27th on the 197 Industry Groups list and has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 86 (A), a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. |
