Breadth Positive as Major Indices Posted Solid Gains

The major indices all jumped more than +1.0% and the S&P 500 closed above 5,600 for the first time. Volume was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 55 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 43 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) that recently endured some pressure. Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.

Lingering Below 50-Day Moving Average But Only -7% Off High

Transdigm Group Inc (TDG +$2.22 or +0.17% to $1,272.68) is still lingering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($1,304) yet perched only -7.1% off its all-time high. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Fundamentals remain strong.

TDG was last shown in this FSU section on 6/12/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Transdigm Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average".  TDG reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +34% on +21% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 12th consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Growth has been very strong after a downturn in FY '20 and '21 (A criteria) hurt its earnings track record. It has a 92 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,332 in Dec '22 to 1,602 in Jun '24, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 53.7 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of E.
