Breadth Solidly Positive as Major Averages Posted More Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 337 points, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.3% leading U.S. indexes upward. The S&P 500 climbed 1.6%. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of increasing institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 34 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 38 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The follow-through day on Friday helped establish a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) will be essential in the near-term for the rally to be productive.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a gain with lighter volume, rising above a downward trendline and challenging its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.
U.S. equities rose Tuesday, adding to Monday’s gains, as investors digested today’s release of economic data. Ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Real Estate leading gains. On the data front, October’s Consumer Confidence Index missed estimates and fell 5.3 points to 102.5 amid rising concerns of a possible recession next year. The Richmond Federal Reserve Manufacturing Index also missed estimates and contracted 10 points from September’s print of 0, reaching its lowest level since May 2022.
In corporate earnings news, Medpace Holdings Inc (MEDP +37.71%) gapped up after it blew past analyst expectations. The stock was down roughly 26% year-to-date before third quarter earnings were announced after the close on Monday. Meanwhile, Logitech International SA (LOGI +11.03%) rose following the company’s plans to roll out a new line of products in an effort to spark buyer interest again after losing momentum post- pandemic.
Treasuries strengthened as investors are hopeful for a less hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed). The yield on the benchmark 10-year note lost eighteen basis points (0.18%) to 4.07%, while the 30-year bond yield decreased eighteen basis points (0.18%) to 4.22%. The more policy-sensitive two-year note yield fell six basis points (0.06%) to 4.46%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude added 0.4% to $84.95/barrel amid supply concerns from Saudi Arabia’s energy minister, and a weaker dollar. The U.S. Dollar Index dropped 1%, a three-week low, following potential signs the economy may be slowing from Fed rate hikes. |

Rebound Above 50-Day Moving Average Helped Outlook Improve
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Graphic Packaging Hldg (GPK +$1.61 or +7.48% to $23.12) posted a considerable gain today as it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/12/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Today's big gain and rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($21.73) is helped its outlook improve. It showed resilience after sputtering below its 200 DMA line since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/20/22.
GPK has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +79% on +38% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Fundamentals have remained strong. It was last shown in this FSU section on 9/06/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Recently Slipped Below Pivot Point Testing 50-Day Average". The past 3 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history has been good since a downturn in FY '16 and '17, meeting the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (A criteria).
The Paper & Paper Products group is ranked 122nd on the 197 Industry Groups list and it has a C (39) Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 596 in Sep '21 to 637 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days.

G - Posted a 4th consecutive gain today with below average volume for a new all-tie high. Its 50 DMA line ($289) defines near-term support to watch above the recent low ($283.79 on 10/10/22). Fundamental concerns also remain after the Jun '22 quarter rose +19% on +5% sales revenues versus the year ago period, breaking a streak of 3 quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).

Y - Posted a 4th consecutive small gain today with above average volume, inching further above the pivot point. Faces very little resistance due to overhead supply up to the $46 level.

Annual earnings growth has been strong.
