Leadership Improved as Major Indices Rallied

The major indices rose on Tuesday. The volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 78 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, doubling the total of 39 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals 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 posted a solid gain and it is perched within striking distance of its 2023 high.

Ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors registered gains. In the financial sector, JPMorgan (JPM +1.6%) and American Express (AXP +1.7%) both posted gains on favorable analyst coverage. The positive economic vibe in the market led small caps to outperform large caps and value stocks to outperform growth stocks.  The health care sector was the worst performer, closing flat, while the fellow defensive-oriented consumer staples sector (+0.1%) saw the slimmest gain. The countercyclical energy (+2.2%), industrials (+1.2%), and financials (+1.2%) sectors were some of the top performers. The industrials sector was boosted by a nice gain in 3M (MMM +4.9%) after it was upgraded.

Longer dated Treasuries settled with gains following a solid 3-yr note auction and ahead of tomorrow's release of the June Consumer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. ET. The 10-yr note yield fell three basis points to 3.98%. The 2-yr note yield, meanwhile, rose four basis points to 4.89%.

The Bank Index ($BKX +1.68%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.69%) both posted solid gains along with the Retail Index ($RLX +1.23%)The tech sector had a slightly positive bias as the Networking Index ($NWX+0.77%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.35%) each posted small gains and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.05%) finished flat. Energy-linked shares were standout gainers as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.18%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +3.20%) posted solid gains. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.82%) rounded out the positive session with gains.

Volume-Driven Breakout for Polaris

Polaris (PII $128.79 +$5.73 +4.66%) finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/16/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new 52-week high today with a strong close above the pivot point backed by +86% above average volume clinching a technical buy signal.

It hails from the Leisure-Products group which is ranked 128th on the 197 Industry Groups list. Reported very strong Sep, Dec '22, and Mar '23 quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases above the +25% minimum (C criteria) versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings (A criteria) history had a slight downturn in FY '19 followed by strong growth.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reportedly fell from 613 in Sep '22 to 593 in Mar '23, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is only a slightly bullish sign of accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B+ and B ratings for both Timeliness and Sponsorship.
