Major Indices Were Mixed as Nasdaq Composite Showed Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The first session of June left the S&P 500 (-0.1%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (-0.5%) both lower while the Nasdaq Composite rose +0.3%. Volume was lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE while advancers slightly outnumbered decliners on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 57 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 43 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs for a fourth consecutive session on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) that recently endured some pressure. It was encouraging to see the market show some broad-based resiience.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a small gain on Monday adding to Friday's solid gain. It has been consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which is always an important support level to watch.
NVIDIA (NVDA +4.90%) rose after it introduced new products. However, concerns about economic growth made the broader appear market indecisive. The ISM Manufacturing Index for May reflected a faster pace of contraction than the market expected (actual 48.7%; expected 49.6%). A reading below 50% indicates a contraction in activity. WTI crude oil futures ($74.29/bbl, -2.79, -3.6%) were lower amid slowdown concerns.
The S&P 500 energy sector was the worst performing sector as it fell -2.6%. The utilities (-1.2%) and industrial (-1.3%) sectors were the next worst performers. The information technology sector (+1.0%) led, followed by the health care sector (+0.7%). Yields moved lower as the 10-yr note fell 11 basis points to 4.40% and the 2-yr note fell seven basis points to 4.82%.
Speculative activity was evident in the meme stock space after "Roaring Kitty" posted a screenshot showing a big position in GameStop (GME +21.0%). |

Slump Below 50-Day Moving Average Again Hurts Outlook
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Archrock (AROC -$0.77 or -3.80% to $19.47) suffered a loss today with below-average volume as it slumped back below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($20). It also undercut the recent lows hurting its outlook and its color code was changed to green. A rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line is again needed for its outlook to improve.
AROC has faltered and encountered distributional pressure since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/24 high plus 10 cents in the 5/20/24 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Strong Finish for Archrock After Highlighted in Mid-Day Report".
It has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Earnings increases have been above the +25% mninimum guideline in quarterly comparisons through Mar '24 versus the year-ago periods. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a loss in FY '20. It hails from the Oil and Gas-Machinery/Equip group which is currently ranked 52nd on the 197 Industryu Groups List (L criteria).
There are 156.3 million shares (S criteria) outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose frm 380 in Jun '23 to 451 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
