Major Indices Slump Again While Lacking Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell 173 points, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 1.4% amid weakness in growth-related shares. The S&P 500 slipped 1.1%. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange and 4-3 on the NYSE. Leadership remained thin as there were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the total of 5 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market uptrend is now under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index met resistance near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and slumped back toward the June low.
U.S. equities finished lower in choppy trading Thursday as investors assessed today’s mixed economic data. Nine of 11 sectors of the S&P 500 ended in negative territory, with Health Care and Financials bucking the downtrend.
On the data front, weekly initial jobless claims came in lower than expected to its lowest level since late May. Separately, the Philadelphia Federal Reserve’s (Fed) business outlook deteriorated further in September, with the reading slipping into negative territory. Meanwhile, U.S. retail sales unexpectedly notched a 0.3% monthly gain in August, climbing from last month’s downwardly revised 0.4% decline. Elsewhere on the data front, import prices beat estimates in August, though still posted a decline of 1% month-over-month. September’s Empire manufacturing survey came in at -1.5, while industrial production posted a 0.2% monthly decline for August.
Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up four basis points (0.04%) to 3.45%. The yield on the more Fed-sensitive two-year note added seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.86%, its highest since 2007. Yields rose amid increased probability the Fed will implement a 75-basis point (0.75%) rate hike at their upcoming policy meeting. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 3.6% to $85.31/barrel amid concerns over global demand and a stronger dollar. Gold fell to its lowest level since April 2020 as market participants looked towards next week’s Fed meeting. |

Griffon Near All-Time High Making Limited Progress
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Griffon Corporation (GFF +$0.06 or +0.18% to $32.77) has held its ground after a 9/13/22 gap down, retreating from its all-time high. Its color code was changed to yellow after pulling back below its "max buy" level. Prior lows and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line define important near-term support in the $30 area.
GFF has not made much meaningful progress since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/07/22 high plus 10 cents in the 8/08/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in greater detail on 8/25/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Best Ever Close With Gain on Lighter Volume". Fresh signs of institutional buying demand, gains backed by heavier volume, would be a reassuring sign.
GFF has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +215% on +31% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.
The company has only 57 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-dated funds owning its shares rose from 331 in Mar '22 to 350 in Jun '22. 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.
