Indices Slump With Less leadership Underpinning Market
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The market-cap weighted S&P 500 fell 0.1% and the other indices suffered similar losses. Volume totals reported were mixed, slightly higher than the prior session on the NYSE and slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Market breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 3-to-1 margin at the NYSE and by an 5-2 margin at the Nasdaq. There were 19 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 38 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and 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 S&P 600 Small Cap Index slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Friday's session brought a sharp jump in market rates. The 10-yr note yield settled 15 basis points higher at 4.43%. The 2-yr note yield jumped 15 basis points to 4.87%. The May Employment Situation Report showed higher than expected payroll and earnings growth.
Four of the S&P 500 sectors closed higher led by financials (+0.4%) and information technology (+0.2%). The utilities (-1.1%) and materials (-1.0%) sectors logged the largest declines. GameStop (GME -36.0%) shares plunged after its earnings report and as the company filed to sell up to 75 million shares of Class A common stock.

Wedging Into New High Ground
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Novo Nordisk (NVO +$0.48 or +0.34% to $142.88) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 3/07/24 high. It has been wedging higher without great volume behind a streak of 7 consecutive gains. To clinch a proper technical buy signal gains above the pivot point must be backed by at least +40% above-average volume. Fundamentals remain strong. It showed resilience since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/02/24.
NVO was highlighted in the 11/02/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 10/13/23 high plus 10 cents while building on an advanced ascending base. It was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 4/24/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Fell Below 50-Day Moving Average Which May Act as Resistance".
NVO reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +28% on +22% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 5th strong quarter well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady. It has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 372 in Dec '22 to 562 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. It has a Timeliness Rating of C and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of A. |

Y - Slumping further below prior highs with today's 4th consecutive loss raising concerns as it negated the breakout after rallying to new 52-week highs with 3 consecutive volume-driven gains clearing a 20-week base. Disciplined investors avoid big losses by selling any stock that falls more than 7-8% below their purchase price.
