Leadership Improved as Major Indices Posted Small Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow rose 10 points (0.03%), while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.4% and the S&P 500 advanced 0.2%. Volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 5-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 77 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, more than doubling the total of 32 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index, the notoriously tech-heavy index, recently rose above its August 2022 high. It is up +26.8% year-to-date.
Seven of 11 sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities ended higher on Tuesday. It was a choppy day of trading as regional bank shares led the Financial sector higher. Meanwhile, last week’s tech rally continued to lose steam. Treasuries were mixed as investors evaluated the economic outlook amid a strong labor market and signs of economic weakness in other parts of the economy. Recent economic data showed softness in service-sector activity, an area of the economy that had previously shown resilience. The futures market is pricing in a high likelihood of one rate hike by July, with more bets that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will pause in June and hike in July. The yield on the 10-year note was down one basis point (0.01%) to 3.68%, while the 30-year bond yield fell four basis points (0.04%) to 3.85%. Meanwhile, the yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy, rose four basis points (0.04%) to 4.51%.
In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 0.6% to $71.49/barrel as demand concerns amid slowing economic activity outweighed recent news that Saudi Arabia pledged additional oil production cuts and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) extended current productions cuts through the end of next year.

Financial, Retail, Semiconductor, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank ($BKX +2.97%) posted a standout gain and the Broker/Dealer ($XBD +1.51%) also rose. The Retail ($RLX +0.85%) posted a smaller gain. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor ($SOX +1.28%) led the tech sector higher and the Biotech ($BTK +0.23%) also inched higher, meanwhile the Networking ($NWX -0.45%) edged lower. The Oil Services ($OSX +0.94%) and Integrated Oil ($XOI +0.66%) Indexes each posted modest gains followed by a smaller gain from the Gold & Silver $XAU +0.34%).
PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer ($XBD +1.51%) posted a gain on Tuesday challenging its 200-day moving average (DMA) line while recovering from its May '23 low. Since financial stocks have been reliable "leading indicators", any further improvement would be a reassuring sign for the broader market outlook.

Rebounded Above 50 Day Average With Light Volume Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
NVR Inc (NVR +$133.04 or +2.35% to $5,794.60) rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($5,707) with today's gain backed by light volume helping its technical stance. It has sputtered since last shown in this FSU section in detail on 4/27/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Fell From High and Raised Concern With Subpar Mar '23 Report".
NVR was highlighted in yellow in the 4/25/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 12/30/21 high plus 10 cents. Concerns were soon raised, however, after it reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings -14% on -8% sales revenues, a noted fundamental flaw. Earnings had risen +50% on +23% sales revenues for the Dec '22 quarter versus the year-ago period, and prior quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been very strong. Despite the latest subpar quarter it still has a 91 Earnings Per Share Rating, well abov the 80+ minimum for buy candidates.
The Building - Residential/Commercial industry group is currently ranked 5th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,548 in Dec '22 to 1,630 in Mar '23. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

G - Rebounded above its 50 DMA line ($25.11) and it is perched within close striking distance of its all-time high with today's 4th consecutive gain. It has not formed a sound new base of sufficient length. Quickly recovered after testing its 4/27/23 low last week. Reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +60% on +9% sales revenues versus the year-ago period.

Bullish action has continued although it reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +0% on +10% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns.

Y - Hitting a new all-time high and approaching its "max buy" level with today's big gain backed by light volume. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, it has made very little headway in recent weeks. It was repeatedly noted - "Subsequent gains and new highs backed by at least +40% above average volume may help reconfirm a technical buy signal."

More damaging losses would trigger a technical sell signal. Reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +53% on +24% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Prior highs in the $79-$77 area define the next support to watch below its 50 DMA line.

G - Color code is changed to green while rising above its "max buy" level and hitting a new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain backed by near average volume. Gains above the pivot point were not backed by +40% above average volume, so it did not trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +22% on +20% versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising some fundamental concerns.
