Leadership Expanded as Second Quarter Ended With Strong Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 all closed near their highs for the session. The Russell 2000, which outperformed on Thursday, trailed the action on Friday but still logged a tidy 0.4% gain. The last day of the second quarter ended with a punctuation point on what marked the best first half of the year for the Nasdaq Composite (+31.7%) since 1983! The 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 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership ex[panded as there were 128 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 89 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows 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 S&P 500 Index hit a new 2023 high and is up +15.9% year-to-date.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day higher. The tone for Friday's winning session was set early when Citigroup started coverage of Apple (AAPL +2.3%) with a Buy rating and $240 price target and Apple surpassed a $3 trillion market capitalization threshold. The information technology (+1.8%) and consumer discretionary (+1.4%) sectors were the best performers, led by their mega-cap constituents. The consumer discretionary sector overcame a weak showing from Nike (NKE -2.7%), which disappointed with its fiscal Q4 results.
The release of the Personal Income and Spending Report for May played into the optimistic view that the U.S. economy could in fact avoid a recession. Personal income increased 0.4%, personal spending jumped 0.1%, the PCE Price Index rose 0.1%, and the core-PCE Price Index, which excludes food and energy, advanced 0.3%. The year-over-year increase for the PCE Price Index moderated to 3.8% from 4.3% and the year-over-year rate for the core-PCE Price Index moderated to 4.6% from 4.7%. T
The Treasury market looked placated by what it saw in the data. Yields came down immediately after the report was released at 8:30 a.m. ET. The 2-yr note yield went from 4.92% to 4.84% and settled the session unchanged at 4.88%. The 10-yr note yield dropped from 3.88% to 3.82% where it settled for the week.

New High Close for Strong Homebuilder
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
NVR Inc (NVR +$55.01 or +0.87% to $6,350.62) managed a best-ever close today and remains perched at ts all-time high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($5,824) defines near-term support watch on pullbacks.
NVR was last shown in this FSU section in detail on 6/06/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rebounded Above 50 Day Average With Light Volume Gains". It 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. 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 12th 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 1,632 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 - Further undercutting its 50 DMA line ($86.36) with today's 4th consecutive loss raising greater concerns. A prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed to help its outlook improve. The prior low ($81.63 on 5/31/23) defines the next important near-term support to watch. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/15/23 high plus 10 cents when featured in the earlier mid-day report. Perched within striking distance of its 52-week high after an orderly 10-month base. Reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +46% on +19% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 3rd quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the winning models of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings growth remained strong while it went through a deep consolidation since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/13/21. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
