Major Indices Ended Perched Near Records and Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow ticked down one point, while the S&P 500 gained 0.1% to eke out its eighth record close in 14 sessions. The Nasdaq Composite fell less than 0.1%. Advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and 8-7 on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on both major exchanges. There were 45 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 but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange for the 2nd consecutive session. 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.

UU.S. equities finished the session mixed Thursday as investors continue to monitor trade developments. The major averages fluctuated after China’s Commerce Ministry spokesman reported that Washington and Beijing are in the midst of “in-depth” discussions concerning an initial agreement, but reiterated the importance of the U.S. rescinding some existing tariffs in order to reach an accord. Meanwhile, China also announced it will permit imports of qualified poultry from the U.S. beginning today.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished the session in positive territory with Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary outperforming. In earnings news, Cisco Systems (CSCO -7.33%) sank following a disappointing outlook, as the network gear maker cited rising global uncertainties. Walmart (WMT -0.27%) reversed an early gain and ended lower despite topping analyst estimates for profit and comparable-store sales. Viacom (VIA +1.08%) rose after 4th quarter profit and revenue topped analyst estimates. Department store Dillard’s (DDS +14.16%) jumped higher after crushing analyst profit expectations and reporting no decline in same store sales.

Economic data garnered attention with Core PPI, which excludes the more volatile food and energy components, advancing 1.6% year-over-year in October, slowing from the prior 2.00% pace, but higher than analysts’ forecasts of 1.5%. Separately, initial jobless claims came in at 225,000, the highest level since June, and above the previous 211,000 figure. Treasuries strengthened with the yield on the benchmark 10-year bond losing six basis points to 1.82%.

Gold & Silver, Retail, and Broker/Dealer Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.51%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.65%) both posted gains but the Bank Index ($BKX -0.10%) ended slightly in the red. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.91%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.30%) both edged higher. Again commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.16%) outpaced the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.29%) to the downside while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.73%) notched another standout gain.

Rallying Near High With 12th Consecutive Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Globant SA (GLOB +$4.17 or +3.97% to $109.26) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 8/01/19 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It has rebounded near its all-time high with today's 12th consecutive gain. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. Keep in mind it is due to report Sep '19 quarterly results. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

GLOB was last shown in this FSU section on 8/09/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above 50-Day Average With Earnings News Soon". It found support near its 200 DMA line during the consolidation since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/19/19. It reported earnings +33% on +23% sales revenues for the Jun '19 quarter continuing its strong earning track record above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history and has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating.

This Luxembourg-based Computer - Tech Services firm completed a Secondary Offering on 6/21/18. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 235 in Mar '18 to 527 in Sep '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of 36.3 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
