Major Averages Ended Lower After Positive Start
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished with a small loss while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed near their worst levels of the day. Volume totals reported were slightly higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 26 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 24 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria).

PICTURED: The S&P 600 Small Cap Index recently slumped below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

Tuesday's session started with a positive bias but the major indices ended lower. In the mega cap space, Oracle (ORCL -13.50%) was slammed following its earnings report and relatively disappointing guidance. Apple (AAPL-1.71%) was weak in front of its closely-watched product event and pulled back following a slate of announcements that featured the introduction of the iPhone 15.

Rising oil prices ($89.95/bbl, +1.66, +1.9%), which hit their highest level since last November, were another overhang for the market. That move benefited the S&P 500 energy sector (+2.3%) and made it the top performing sector, meanwhile, the heavily-weighted information technology sector (-1.8%) logged the biggest decline.

Treasuries settled little changed. The 2-yr note yield rose one basis points to 5.00% and the 10-yr note yield fell two basis points to 4.26%. The only new economic data was limited to the August NFIB Small Business Optimism index, which declined to 91.3 from 91.9. The August Consumer Price Index is due at 8:30AM on Wednesday.

Still Consolidating Above 50 DMA Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

ePlus (PLUS -$1.16 or -1.78% to $63.99) has still been consolidating since a noted "breakaway gap" on 8/08/23. Fundamentals remain strong. The recent low and 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($61.41) define important near-term support in the $61 area.

PLUS was highlighted in yellow in the 8/08/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its May '22 high plus 10 cents. It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "ePLUS Gapped Up but Ended in Lower Half of Intra-Day Range".

Bullish action came after it reported earnings +42% on +25% sales revenues for the Jun '23 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the winning models of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong. It has a 97 earnings Per Share rating.

It hails from the Computer-Tech Services group which is currently ranked 61st on the 197 Industry Groups list. The small supply of only 26.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reportedly fell from 422 in Sep '22 to 409 in Jun '23, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Meanwhile, its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.
