Leadership Improved But Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow lost 194 points, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.1%. The S&P 500 declined 0.1%. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 58 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 40 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) has continued helping the rally be productive. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index remains below its 200 DMA line and below its long term downward trendline.

U.S. equities finished mixed Thursday amid October’s sharp uptick in household spending while inflation data showed easing in November. As investors assess today’s data, they await the release of November’s closely watched U.S. jobs data due Friday morning. Seven of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory, with Financials leading laggards.

On the data front, the Federal Reserve (Fed) favored core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index (which excludes volatile food and energy) increased 0.2% month-over-month and 5% annually. The headline PCE rose 0.3% monthly and 6% annually. Meanwhile, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing index came in weaker-than-expected at 49 in November compared to the 49.7 expected, reaching its lowest level since May 2020. Also, the ISM prices paid index came in lower-than-expected by 2.9 reaching 43 for November indicating inflation may be weakening.

Treasury yields lost momentum Thursday as investor’s focus had shifted to the possibility of a recession. The yield on the 10-year note lost 14 basis points (0.14%) to 3.50%, while the 30-year bond yield shed 17 basis points (0.17%) to 3.60%. The two-year note yield slipped nine basis points (0.09%) to 4.24%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 1% to $81.32/barrel as investors shift their focus to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) meeting Sunday. In the metals complex, Gold increased 3.2% for its best daily performance since April 9, 2020, when the index climbed 4.1%.

Consolidating Near Old Highs Following Recent Breakout
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Enpro Industries Inc (NPO +$0.03 or +0.03% to $118.83) inched higher today. Volume was +25% above average on the prior session as it managed a "positive reversal" and rebounded back above the pivot point cited. Fundamentals remain strong.

NPO was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/14/22 high plus 10 cents in the 11/04/22 mid-day report (read here) and it was shown in greater detail with an annotated graph that evening under the headline, "Finished Strong After Highlighted in Friday Mid-Day Report". It had rallied into new 52-week high territory with impressive volume-driven gains after a 9-month consolidation.

NPO has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +65% on +34% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the winning models of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings growth has been steady even through the pandemic. It hails from the Machinery-Gen Industrial group which is currently ranked 32rd on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria).

Its small supply of only 20.8 million shares outstanding can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares fell from 411 in Mar '22 to 398 in Sep '22, however its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timeliness Rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.
