Major Indices Rose With More Leadership Showing Up
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 126 points, while the S&P 500 rose 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite was up 0.2%. Overall S&P 500 earnings growth is expected to exceed 63% year-over-year during the April-June period, according to Bloomberg data. The volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE but led by a much narrower 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 33 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in an uptrend. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a gain for a new record close.

The major averages finished at fresh record levels Monday as investors anticipated a jam-packed week of corporate earnings reports and key economic data. Treasuries fluctuated, with the yield on the 10-year note ending just one basis point higher at 1.37% following a strong $38 billion auction of this maturity. Market participants will now turn their attention to tomorrow’s consumer price index (CPI) figures for an update on inflationary pressures. In commodities, WTI crude slipped 0.6% to $74.13/barrel.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Consumer Staples and Energy the two declining groups. Financials paced gains ahead of this week’s earnings reports, with some of the largest U.S. banks scheduled to unofficially kick off the season tomorrow. Communication Services also outperformed, with Walt Disney (DIS +4.28%) rose following strong streaming demand for one of its latest films. In corporate news, Broadcom (AVGO +1.16%) rose amid reports the Tech giant is engaging in discussions to purchase privately-held SAS Institute, Inc. Elsewhere, Virgin Galactic (SPCE -17.30%) fell after disclosing plans to issue additional shares.

Last week’s volatility was characterized by peak economic growth concerns. Treasury yields tumbled to the lowest levels in nearly five months, while the S&P 500 saw its worst session since June 18 on Thursday before experiencing a relief rally on Friday.

Gain for New High Leaves GNRC Very Extended From Prior Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Generac Holdings Inc (GNRC +$11.78 or +2.70% to $448.15) volume was just +7% above average behind today's gain for yet another new all-time high, getting more extended from the previously noted base. The prior high ($364) defines initial support to watch on pullbacks. Fundamentals remain strong.

GNRC was highlighted in yellow in the 6/08/21 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 4/06/21 high. It gapped up clearing prior highs and nearly challenging its all-time high, which an annotated graph showed that evening under the headline, "Gap Up Gain With +118% Above Average Volume".

GNRC has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 97. Recently it reported earnings +174% on +70% sales revenues for the Mar '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.

The high-ranked Electrical-Power/Equipment firm has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 816 in Jun '20 to 1,528 in Jun '21,a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B.
