Nasdaq Composite Fell as Dow Industrials Posted 9th Straight Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Nasdaq Composite Index fell -2.05% while there was a -0.7% decline for the market-cap weighted S&P 500 Index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.47%), meanwhile, logged its ninth consecutive winning session. The volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 55 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 100 on the prior session. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new highs held only a narrow lead over new lows 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 Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back. It is up +34.4% year-to-date.
Weekly initial jobless claims came in at the lowest level (228,000) since Mid-May. The Dow was boosted by gains in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +6.1%), IBM (IBM +2.1%), and Travelers (TRV +1.8%) following their earnings reports. Tesla (TSLA -9.7%) and Netflix (NLFX -8.4%) both fell following their better than expected Q2 earnings results. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM -5.1%) also fell after cautioning about a continued inventory adjustment. The PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) declined 3.6%. Amazon.com (AMZN -4.0%) also slumped and created pressure on the S&P 500 consumer discretionary sector (-3.4%). Weak homebuilders included D.R. Horton (DHI -1.9%) which had a "negative reversal" and was a notable loser after reporting above-consensus earnings. The utilities (+1.9%) and health care (+1.7%) sectors, meanwhile, were top gainers .
The 2-yr note yield rose nine basis points to 4.84% and the 10-yr note yield rose 11 basis points to 3.85%.

6th Straight Gain for Amphastar
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Amphastar Pharm (AMPH +$0.92 or +1.48% to $63.25) is perched at its all-time high today following 6 consecutive gains. It is extended from any sound base of sufficient length. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($50.28) defines important support to watch above prior highs in the $44 area. Fundamentals remain strong.
It hails from the Medical-Biomed/Biotech group which is currently ranked 59th on the 197 Industry Groyups list (L cvriteria). It has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Three of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '23 versus the year-ago periods have been strong and well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reported fell from 454 in Jun '22 to 429 in Jun '23, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.5, however, is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
