Breadth Negative as Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 44 points, while the S&P 500 edged 0.1% higher. The Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.2%. The mega-cap Nasdaq 100 rose 0.2% to a fresh all-time high, while the small-cap Russell 2000 shed 1.7%. The volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 23 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched within striking distance of its record high.

U.S. stocks finished little changed on Wednesday as investors digested corporate earnings results and another stronger-than-expected inflation reading. Also garnering attention, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that the U.S. economy had not yet progressed enough to warrant the dialing back of monetary stimulus during his semi-annual congressional testimony.

Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with the more traditionally defensive groups outperforming. Technology was also among the standouts, with Apple (AAPL +2.41%) rose to a new record level after reportedly preparing its suppliers for a ramp-up in production of its new iPhone by 20% year-over-year. Financials lagged as earnings failed to impress. Bank of America (BAC -2.51%) fell after reporting revenue that missed consensus forecasts. Elsewhere, Delta Air Lines (DAL -1.57%) fell despite delivering its first quarterly profit since late 2019, while American Airlines (AAL +3.00%) rose after forecasting positive free cash flow and being the subject of an analyst upgrade.

On the data front, producer prices unexpectedly jumped 1% last month, up from the previous 0.8% gain. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down five basis points to 1.35%. In commodities, WTI crude dropped 3.4% to $72.72/barrel after OPEC+ struck a preliminary production agreement with the United Arab Emirates, resolving the recent deadlock in negotiations. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar retreated 0.4%.

Held Ground But Made Little Price Progress Since Featured
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Avantor Inc (AVTR $36.05) has stubbornly held its ground but made little progress since triggering a technical buy signal. Prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line coincide in the $33 area defining important support to watch on pullbacks.

AVTR was highlighted in the 6/10/21 mid-day report (read here) yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/29/21 high plus 10 cents. An annotated graph was included with additional analysis that evening under the headline, "Medical Research Firm Challenging Prior High".

It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 97 based on strong fundamentals. The Mar '21 quarter marked its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the year ago period by at least the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong (A criteria).

Following its $14 IPO on 5/17/19 it completed Secondary Offerings on 5/21/20, 8/21/20 and 11/09/20. The high-ranked Medical-Research Eqp/Svc firm has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 562 in Jun '20 to 1,088 in Jun '21 a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B.
