Breadth Negative and Leadership Thin as Indices Post Small Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 was down -0.5% at its low of the day, however, the 3 major indices recovered from early lows to post modest gains. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each closed +0.2% higher and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose +0.4%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster buying demand from the institutional crowd. Beneath the surface, breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by about a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership also thinned as there were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page down from the total of 57 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, meanwhile, new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs more convincingly for a fifth consecutive session on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) that recently endured some pressure. Disciplined investors will watch for encouraging new highs totals to see the market showing some broad-based strength and resiience. Any uptrend requires healthy leadership.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating above its March 2024 high after recently hitting new all-time highs. The prior low and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.
A decrease in April job openings to 8.059 million from a revised 8.355 million (from 8.488 million) in March led to slowdown worries. Weakness in energy, materials, and bank stocks led Small Cap stocks to underperform their larger peers through the entire session. The Russell 2000 declined -1.3% and S&P 600 Index fell -1.4%.
The S&P 500 materials (-1.2%), energy (-1.0%), and financial (-0.4%) sectors had the steepest declines among the 11 sectors. Meanwhile, the real estate (+1.0%), consumer staples (+0.9%), and information technology (+0.4%) sectors rose. Treasury yields were lower as the 10-yr note yield was 7basis points lower at 4.34% and the 2-yr note yield fell five basis points to 4.77%.
NVIDIA (NVDA +1.25%) rose after Elon Musk indicated that NVDA purchases by Tesla (TSLA -0.88%) are expected to be $3-4 billion this year.

Steady Pullback to Below "Max Buy" Level Following Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Celestica (CLS -$2.86 or -5.15% to $52.71) suffered a 5th consecutive loss today, abruptly retreating from its all-time high and undercutting its 20-day moving average ($52.92). Its color code is changed to yellow affer retreating below its "max buy" level. CLS was noted recently - "Extended from the previously noted base. Prior highs in the $51 area define initial support to watch above its 50 DMA line."
CLS finished strong after highlighted in yellow in the 5/15/24 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/24 high plus 10 cents after a 6-week flat base. It was shown in detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Strong Breakout After 6-Week Flat Base".
CLS hails from the high ranked Elec-Contract Mfg group which is now ranked 24th on the 197 Industry Groups List (L criteria). CLS recently reported earnings +83% on +20% sales revenues for the Mar '24 quarter versus the year ago period, and 7 of the last 8 quarterly comparisons were at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since bottoming in FY '19. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.
There are only 119 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 322 in Jun '23 to 508 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
