Strong Leadership and Positive Breadth as Major Indices Rose

On Friday the S&P 500 (+0.4%) traded above 6,000 for the first time and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.6%) traded above the 44,000 mark for the first time before settling off session highs. The Nasdaq Composite settled little changed. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 8-5 margin on the NYSE and by a narrower margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 117 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 102 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

The materials sector logged the largest decline, down -0.9%. Five of the 11 sectors closed at least 1.0% higher. The S&P 500 consumer discretionary sector (+1.2%) posted a solid gain.  The rate-sensitive real estate (+1.7%) and utilities sector (+1.8%) both responded favorably to a drop in the 10-yr yield. The 10-yr yield dropped four basis points to 4.31%.

Extended From Base After Streak of Gains for New Highs

Granite Construction (GVA +$2.19 or +2.29% to $97.94) powered to another new all-time high with today's 7th consecutive gain. Bullish action has come after it reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +19% on +14% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Despite that fact, Granite Construction has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating.  Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady. 

GVA was highlighted on the 6/11/24 mid-day report as it was noted that a valid secondary buy point exists up to +5% above the recent high after finding support at its 10 WMA line following a prior breakout. It was last shown in this FSU section on 8/30/24 with an annotated graph under the headline "Hovering Near All-Time High".

GVA hails from the Bldg-Heavy Construction group which is currently ranked 10th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). It has a small supply of only 43.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 401 in Jun '23 to 421 in Sep '24. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
