Leadership Improves as Major Indices Extend Record Rally

The Dow jumped 182 points and the S&P 500 added 0.3% to push both benchmark indexes to close at fresh record highs. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.3%. Decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE, meanwhile advancing issues slightly outnumbered decliners on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 70 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 38 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a "confirmed uptrend" after enduring distributional pressure in recent weeks. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to a new record high. 

Stocks finished higher on Thursday as optimistic trade headlines bolstered risk sentiment. China’s Commerce Ministry said that Washington and Beijing have agreed to rescind some existing tariffs in stages, citing recent progress on a “phase one” trade deal. White House officials also confirmed the roll back in the respective duties, but stocks pared some sharper early session gains after Reuters reported fierce internal resistance to the plans. 

Amid the perceived “risk-on” sentiment, COMEX gold fell 1.6% to $1,469.00/ounce. Treasuries resumed their slump, with the yield on the 10-year note surging nine basis points to 1.91%, the highest level since August. On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at 211,000 in the most recent week. A separate report revealed consumer credit declined to $9.5 billion in September from August’s upwardly revised $17.8 billion figure. In commodities, WTI crude climbed 1.0% to $56.91/barrel.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with Energy stocks pacing the gains. In earnings, DISH Network (DISH +3.49%) rose after surprising analysts by adding subscribers during the last quarter. Fox Corp. (FOX +5.94%) rose following a 5% increase in quarterly revenue. Qualcomm (QCOM +6.32%) rose after topping analyst profit and revenue expectations, helped by a key licensing deal with Apple (AAPL +0.85%). Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA +4.57%) following an improvement in the drugmaker’s full-year guidance. Online travel companies Expedia (EXPE -27.39%) and TripAdvisor (TRIP -22.41%) each slid more than 20% as both posted downbeat results.

Audiocodes is Quietly Perched Near its All-Time High

Audiocodes Ltd (AUDC +$0.51 or +2.38% to $21.95) is perched near its all-time high after a quiet gain today. Its color code was changed to green after recent gains back above its "max buy" level. The rally back above the prior pivot point with last week's volume driven gains helped its outlook improve. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($19.15) and recent low ($17.54 on 10/08/19) define important support where more damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. It has not formed a sound new base of sufficient length, however, very little resistance remains due to overhead supply.

Bullish action came after it reported earnings +26% on +15% sales revenues for the Sep '19 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record for a 11th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and it has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

This Israel-based designer of advanced voice-over-IP products shown in this FSU section on 10/21/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above 50-Day Average But Below Prior Pivot Point". The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 33 in Mar '18 to 77 in Sep '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under very slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B. The small supply of 22.8 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
