Grocery Stores Face Pressure; Major Indices Perched Near Records
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mixed on Wednesday. The Dow was down 11 points to 18526. The S&P 500 slipped less than a point to 2186 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 8 points to 5283. The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 71 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 78 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating near its record high and recently found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria) endured some distributional pressure, however the Dow Jones Industrial Average found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. A healthy crop of leading stocks remains hitting new 52-week highs. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy candidates that have made headway. The major averages fluctuated in choppy trading on the session as investors digested updates on the economy. The Fed’s Beige Book release showed the economy expanded modestly in mid-July and August, but with little indication that inflation would pick up soon. In a separate report, a JOLTS update revealed job openings climbed 4% to 5.87 million in July, a new record high. In M&A news, GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH +23.6%) rallied amid takeover speculation. Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. In Tech, Western Digital Corp (WDC +12.1%) rose as the hard disk drive maker raised its earnings outlook. Shares of Apple (AAPL +0.6%) inched higher after the company introduced its iPhone 7 model. In earnings, HD Supply Holdings (HDS -12.1%) as the industrial distributor’s revenue fell short of estimates. Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM -13.7%) fell after the company lowered its full-year guidance creating downward pressure on the grocery store sector. Whole Foods (WFM -5.3%) and Kroger (KR -4.1%) to lead Consumer Staples shares lower. Treasuries finished little changed with the benchmark 10-year note flat at 1.54%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 1.4% to $45.44/barrel. COMEX gold was off 0.4% to $1345.30/ounce. |

Light Volume Behind Gains Wedging for New Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Transdigm Group Inc's (TDG +$1.73 or +0.60% to $291.81) posted a 4th consecutive light volume gain for a new all-time high. Volume recently dried up while hovering in a tight range near its high. It is extended from any sound base and well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($277) and prior highs near $268 defining near-term support to watch on pullbacks.
TDG was last shown in this FSU section on 7/27/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Gains Lack Great Volume While Wedging to New Highs". It reported earnings +37% on +15% sales for the Jun '16 quarter, marking its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum earning guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has remained strong. The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 764 in Jun '15 to 1,002 in Jun '16, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 47.9 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
The high-ranked Aerospace/Defense firm was highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 8/18/15 high plus 10 cents in the 5/11/16 mid-day report (read here). It had gapped up on the prior session and hit a new high (N criteria) with a considerable volume-driven gain triggering a technical buy signal. |

Y - Stubbornly holding its ground near its "max buy" level following considerable volume-driven gains for new highs. Highlighted in yellow in the 8/29/16 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 7/26/16 high, clearing a long cup-with-handle base and triggering a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. Group Relative Strength Rating of 62 reveals mediocre leadership (L criteria) in the industry group. Reported +45% earnings on +40% sales revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 versus the year ago period. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
