Major Indices Closed Mixed as Leadership Remained Strong
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow fell 62 points, but still managed to notch a weekly advance of 2.3%. The S&P 500 rose 0.3%, and capped a five day gain of 1.3%. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite also added 0.3%, however was negative on the week by 1.1%. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. There were 60 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 totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals which were in the single digits on the NYSE for a third consecutive session. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see substantial new highs totals.

Resilient and High-Ranked VOIP Firm Rebounding Near Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Audiocodes Ltd (AUDC +$1.70 or +4.72% to $37.71) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report with new pivot point cited based on its 6/03/20 high plus 10 cents. It has been rebounding toward its 52-week high with 4 consecutive gains. Its outlook has improved after recovering above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($33.30). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a technical buy signal.

AUDC completed a new Public Offering on 6/08/20. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported earnings +39% on +12% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter. Rebounded impressively after a deep pullback since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/27/20.

Its strong earnings track record has 13 consecutive quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and it has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

This Israel-based designer of advanced voice-over-IP products suffered more damaging losses after it was last shown in this FSU section on 1/27/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "". Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distributional pressure over the past 50 days.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 33 in Mar '18 to 94 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and Sponsorship Rating of A. The small supply of 29.5 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
