Breadth Even as Major Indices Showed Little Conviction

The S&P 500 Index hit a fresh all-time high as the major averages each edged higher. Volume was reported lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers and decliners were evenly matched on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 139 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched near its all-time high.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is also sitting near its all-time high. 3M (MMM -11.03%) weighed on the DJIA. A post-earnings decline in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -1.64%) also created a drag. Meanwhile, United Airlines (UAL +5.31%), Verizon (VZ +6.70%), and Procter & Gamble (PG +4.14%) logged sizable gains following their quarterly results. NVIDIA (NVDA +0.37%) ended slightly higher after being down as much as -1.8%. Microsoft (MSFT +0.60%) and Tesla (TSLA +0.16%) were down as much as -0.7% and -0.5%, but both settled higher. 

The S&P 500 consumer staples sector posted a +1.1% gain. The real estate sector was the worst performer with a -0.5% loss. The 10-yr note yield climbed five basis points to 4.14% and the 2-yr note yield fell two basis points to 4.36% after a fresh $60 billion 2-yr note sale met strong demand.

Volume-Driven Breakout for Paccar

Paccar (PCAR +$3.26 or +3.36% to $100.35) finished strong after highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Today's gain backed by +153% above average volume for a new 52-week high cleared the pivot point based on its 12/13/23 high plus 10 cents triggering a technical buy signal.

PCAR has a 93 Earnings Per Share rating. It reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +53% on +11% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 9th quarterly comparison with better than the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). There was a downturn in FY' 20 annual earnings (A criteria) like many companies during the pandemic.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 2,052 in Mar '23 to 2,147 in Dec '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of A-.
