Major Indices Posted Small Gains on Quiet Session
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The volume totals reported were lower on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, naturally lighter due to the early close ahead of the Fourth of July holiday, but decent for a shortened day of trading. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 30 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 128 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 Nasdaq Composite Index is perched near its 2023 high and is up +32% year-to-date.

Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed with gains. There were some notable pockets of strength in the market with specific catalysts. EV makers Tesla (TSLA +6.90%) and Rivian (RIVN +17.41%) were standouts after impressive Q2 delivery numbers.

Another pocket of strength was the banking industry. Morgan Stanley (MS +1.19%) rose after it announced a dividend increase and the reauthorization of a multi-year stock repurchase program up to $20 billion.

The June ISM Manufacturing Index fell to 46.0% from 46.9% in May. The dividing line between expansion and contraction is 50.0%, so the sub-50.0% reading for June reflected a general contraction in manufacturing activity for the eighth straight month.

Streak of Gains Lifts Sterling Infrastructure to New Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Sterling Infrastructure (STRL +$2.40 or +4.30% to $58.20) hit yet another new all-time high today, getting more extended from any sound base. 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 earning guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns.

STRL was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/08/22 high plus 10 cents in the 12/14/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last covered in detail on 6/07/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Impressive Streak of Gains for New Highs".

STRL hails from the Building - Heavy Construction industry group which is currently ranked 45th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). It has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating, down from 99 when recently featured. Through Dec '22 it had 6 quarterly comparisons at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady since FY '17.

The company has a small supply of only 30.8 million shares outstanding. That can lead to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 337 in Dec '21 to 403 in Jun '23. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
