Leadership Improved While Major Indices Ended Mixed

The Dow fell 208 points, to pare its weekly advance to 1%. The S&P 500 fell 0.6%, but still rose 1.9% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite continued to buck the downtrend for the sixth straight session, finishing just above the flat line and 3.7% higher for the week. Decliners led advancers by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 6-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. There were 59 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 34 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals which were in the single digits on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices remain in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria)Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it was encouraging to recently see the new highs totals improve.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and perched -12.5% off its record high. 

Stocks fluctuated on Friday, as investors weighed concerns that a resurgence in COVID-19 cases could dampen the recovery in business activity. Stocks reversed early session gains after Apple announced temporary store closures in recent coronavirus hotspot states, such as Arizona and Florida.

In geopolitical news, China reportedly has plans to accelerate the purchase of U.S. agricultural products to meet the requirements of the phase one trade deal. On the data front, an update on the current account balance for the first quarter showed the deficit slightly narrowed to a $104.2 billion shortfall. Elsewhere, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the economic recovery from the pandemic will continue to be a challenge, reiterating his cautionary outlook. Treasuries advanced, with the yield on the 10-year note dipping one basis point to 0.69%. In commodities, WTI crude rose 1.9% to $39.56/barrel, rising 9% for the week. COMEX gold added 1.2% to $1,746.20/ounce.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory, with Health Care stocks the lone advancer. The Utilities group led laggards with a 3.1% decline. In corporate news, AMC Entertainment (AMCE -1.95%) fell despite the movie theatre operator announcing plans to reopen roughly 450 locations in the United States on July 15th. Elsewhere, Target (TGT +2.78%) rose after being subject to a Wall Street analyst upgrade.

Completed New Pubic Offering and Found Support Near Prior High

Axon Enterprise Inc (AAXN -$1.69 or -1.84% to $90.12) completed a new Pubic Offering on 6/17/20. Such offerings often hinder price progress temporarily, yet they help companies attract greater institutional ownership interest (I criteria). The prior highs in the $90-91 area have acted as support following a powerful breakout. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($80.56) defines the next important support.

AAXN was highlighted in yellow in the 5/08/20 mid-day report with pivot point cited based upon its 2/19/20 high plus 10 cents (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 5/28/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Quietly Slumping Near 50-Day Moving Average Line". 

The company has a small supply of only 59.8 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 400 in Sep '19 to 450 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. AAXN has a Timeliness Rating of B and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of D. The Security/Safety industry group currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of A (86).

The Sep, Dec '19 and Mar '20 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with strong underlying sales revenues increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been strong, helping it get a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating.
