Major Indices Were Mixed With Leadership Still Thin
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 dipped 0.1%, to end its longest stretch of daily gains since March (four). The broad benchmark climbed 1.9% during the holiday-shortened week in only its third weekly advance in the past 14. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%, capping a 4.6% weekly rally and five-day winning streak that marked its best run since November 2021. The Dow lost 46 points but ended the week 0.8% higher. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was mixed decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE while advancers led decliners by a 6-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 7 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The brief new market uptrend is already under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, but leadership has been very thin.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a 5th consecutive gain backed by lighter volume. It is challenging its 50-day and still well below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. stocks finished little changed on Friday as Wall Street mulled the macroeconomic implications of a stronger-than-expected monthly jobs report. On the data front, the Labor Department revealed non-farm payrolls increased by a better-than-anticipated 372,000 in June, well above estimates of a 268,000 addition. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.6% for a fourth consecutive month, while wage inflation modestly decelerated. Average hourly earnings climbed at a still-elevated 5.1% year-over-year pace, easing slightly from May’s 5.3% annual increase. While the headline number signaled underlying economic strength, helping alleviate worries about an impending recession, the update also bolstered expectations for further monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
Treasuries retreated, as the solid jobs number was perceived as paving the way for another aggressive 0.75% rate hike at this month’s July 26-27 central bank policy meeting. Recent Fedspeak also reiterated the Fed’s hawkish stance and commitment to combating inflation. An inversion between the 10- and two-year note yields persisted for a fourth day, with the yield on the shorter-dated two-year note spiking seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.10%, still above the 10-year note yield, which jumped by the same amount to 3.08%.

Lilly Quietly Wedged to a New All-Time High This Week
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Eli Lilly & Co (LLY +$2.52 or +0.77% to $330.47) posted a gain with light volume and its color code was changed to green after closing above its "max buy" level. On pullbacks, its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($303) defines near-term support above prior lows.
LLY was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/07/22 high plus 10 cents in the 5/16/22 mid-day report (read here). This giant Medical - Diversified firm showed impressive resilience and strength after slumping below its 50 DMA line since last covered in greater detail on 6/06/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Encountering Distributional Pressure After Reaching New Highs".
Fundamentals remain strong. LLY has a 93 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates. It reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +63% on +15% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) improved steadily since a downturn in FY '14.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 3,055 in Dec '20 to 3,695 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. There are 950.2 million shares outstanding, making it an unlikely sprinter, while it is also well-recognized already by the institutional crowd. |

G - Finished flat for a 2nd day with lighter volume, perched at its 52-week high after rising above its "max buy" level with volume-driven gains. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Rebound above the 50 DMA line ($20.13) helped its outlook improve. Fundamentals through the Mar '22 quarter have been strong.
