Major Indices Ended Mixed With Volume Totals Lighter
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks were broadly higher Thursday. The S&P 500 gained 3 points to 2170. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 15 points to 5154. The Dow fell 16 points to 18456. The benchmark S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both remain perched at record highs. Big gains for the major indices were noted in prior commentaries and that bullish action signaled a new "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria). Volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers slightly on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 62 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 74 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is perched -1.5% from its record high.
The U.S. equity market finished generally in positive territory amid another busy day of corporate earnings releases. Gains were muted as investors appeared cautious before the release of the second-quarter U.S. GDP figure Friday morning. A report before the open showed initial jobless claims increased 14,000 to 266,000 in the most recent week, slightly above the consensus estimate of 262,000. Shares of Ford (F -8.16%) fell after the automaker posted quarterly results below analyst projections. Facebook (FB +1.35%) rose as profits topped consensus forecasts. On the M&A front, NetSuite (N +18.39%) rose after agreeing to be bought by Oracle (ORCL +0.64%) for $9.3 billion. 6 of 10 sectors were up on the session. Utilities and Consumer Staples were the best performing groups. Dominion Resources (D +0.55%) inched higher. Shares of Hershey (HSY +2.92%) rose following a better-than-expected profit report. Telecom was down the most led by Level 3 Communications (LVLT -3.34%). Energy also provided a market headwind with Exxon (XOM -0.78%) amid a drop in oil prices. Treasuries were down with the 10-year note off 2/32 to yield 1.50%. In commodities, COMEX gold rose 0.5% to $1333.60/ounce. WTI crude fell to a three month low, losing 2.0% to $41.10/barrel. |

Rallied +30% in 2 Months Since Breakout Was Featured
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Patrick Industries Inc (PATK +$1.29 or +1.98% to $62.40) hit yet another new high with today's volume-driven gain. Rallying with no resistance due to overhead supply, it has been getting very extended from any sound base. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above prior highs. Its 50-day moving average DMA line ($57.85) defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks.
It reported earnings +41% on +35% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, continuing its streak of quarterly comparisons steadily above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). A small downturn in FY '13 was a flaw previously noted in its annual earnings (A criteria) history. It was last shown in this FSU section on 7/06/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Getting Extended From Prior Base After More Volume-Driven Gains". It has traded up as much as +30% since first highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 4/28/16 high plus 10 cents in the 5/24/16 mid-day report (read here). It finished strong with +132% above average volume as it hit new all-time highs confirming a technical buy signal.
Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication that its shares were under accumulation over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 218 in Jun '15 to 256 in Jun '16, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 14.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. |

Y - Consolidating near prior highs which define initial support to watch.

Y - Volume-driven gains for new highs are still needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Completed another Secondary Offering on 6/06/16. Such offerings often hinder upward price progress for the short term, yet they also help to attract more institutional sponsorship. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +82% on +19% sales revenues for the Apr '16 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. Completed a Secondary Offering on 2/18/16, and it completed its $16 IPO on 7/16/15."
