Major Indices Ended Lower as Leadership Waned
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 Index declined -0.7% and the Russell 2000 fell -0.6%.Volume was lower than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were only 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 96 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 are in an uptrend that has been encountering pressure (M criteria). Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership and it remains important for a countining flow of stocks hitting new highs.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index suffered a 3rd consecutive loss, retreating from its all-time high.
Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors finished lower with losses ranging from -0.1% for real estate to -1.3% for information technology and energy. The health care sector (+0.5%) was a winning standout and the utilities sector (+0.1%) also qualified as a relative strength leader. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index declined 3.1% Friday, finishing at its lows, and it was down -8.8% for the week.
The 2-yr note yield increased five basis points to 4.51% and the 10-yr note yield increased five basis points to 4.24%. There was no U.S. economic data of note today. CrowdStrike (CRWD -11.10%) fell after a technical update had a flaw that wreaked havoc around the globe. A negative response to the earnings weighed on Netflix (NFLX -1.51%), and also Dow components American Express (AXP -2.74%) and Travelers (TRV -7.76%).

Semiconductor, Retail, and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -0.42%) edged lower while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.15%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.02%) both were little changed on Friday's session. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.11%) led the tech sector lower while the Networking Index ($NWX -1.19%) suffered a smaller loss and the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.27%) eked out a small gain. Commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.17%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.39%), and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.22%) each finished the session lower.
PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.39%) is consolidating after rebounding above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines toward its April 2024 high.

Testing 50-Day Moving Average Line After Wedging to New High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Celestica (CLS +$0.18 or +0.32% to $56.50) halted its slide today following 2 consecutive volume-driven losses testing its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after quietly touching a new all-time high. It has been repeatedly noted - "A gain backed by at least +40% above average volume and a close above the new pivot point cited based on its 5/28/24 high plus 10 cents may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Important support is at its 50 DMA line ($54.60)."
CLS was highlighted in yellow in the 5/15/24 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/24 high plus 10 cents after a 6-week flat base. It was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 6/27/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above Prior Highs in an Orderly Fashion".
CLS hails from the high ranked Elec-Contract Mfg group which is now ranked 25th on the 197 Industry Groups List (L criteria). CLS recently reported earnings +83% on +20% sales revenues for the Mar '24 quarter versus the year ago period, and 7 of the last 8 quarterly comparisons were at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since bottoming in FY '19. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.
There are only 119 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 322 in Jun '23 to 566 in Jun '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
