Indices Rise With Greater Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 gained 0.82%, the Dow jumped 0.83%, while the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.92%. All three benchmarks are now within 0.7% of their respective record highs last reached on July 12. The small-cap Russell 2000 surged 1.6% on the heels of its strongest single-session performance since March. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 44 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 35 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals improved and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in an uptrend that has come under pressure. 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 Nasdaq Composite Index found support near the prior high, well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. More damaging losses would raise concerns.

U.S. stocks finished higher on Wednesday as strong corporate earnings reports helped bolster risk sentiment. Investors have emerged to “buy the dip” in equities after worries surrounding rising COVID-19 cases and corresponding economic growth concerns fueled a steep sell-off on Monday.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Energy shares pacing gains amid a rebound in oil prices. Financials also outperformed as Treasury yields backed up. In earnings, Netflix (NFLX -3.3%) fell following a disappointing current-quarter subscriber growth forecast. Coca-Cola (KO +1.3%) rose as its revenue soared past Wall Street estimates, helped by the reopening of entertainment venues. Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG +11%) hit a record high after its comparable sales figure surpassed analyst forecasts. Meanwhile, United Airlines (UAL +3.8%) rose on a top line beat and solid current-quarter projections.

Treasuries gave back this week’s gains, with the yield on the 10-year note up seven basis points to 1.29%, and the 30-year bond yield advancing six basis points to 1.94%. In commodities, WTI crude climbed 4.5% to $70.21/barrel despite government data unexpectedly showing the first weekly buildup in U.S. crude stockpiles since May.

New Base Formed May Be "Late Stage"
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Xpel Inc (XPEL +2.56 or +2.87% to $91.85) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/07/21 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Its 6-week consolidation has the look of a riskier "late-stage" base while challenging its all-time high after finding prompt support again at its 50 DMA line ($83.91).

It has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Mar '21 quarterly earnings +317% on +83% sales revenues versus the year ago period, adding to its strong earnings track record. Showed resilience and impressive strength after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/29/21. It was last shown in this FSU section on 3/11/21 under the headline, "Powerful Breakout Backed by Heavy Volume".

This Auto/Truck - Replacement Parts firm reported Dec '20 quarterly earnings +29% on +0% sales revenues versus the year ago period, marking the 3rd quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history has been strong after a downturn in FY '17.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 45 in Mar '20 to 219 in Jun '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 27.6 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
