Breadth Positive and Leadership Solid as Major Indices Rise Further
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Russell 2000 outperformed other indices throughout the session, gaining 1.4% by the close. Volume was reported mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 8-5 margin on the NYSE and by about a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 99 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 93 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals 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 S&P 500 Index managed a new high close.
Outsized moves were connected with some of the latest earnings reports. Arm Holdings (ARM +47.89%) jumped considerably after reporting earnings. Dow component Walt Disney (DIS +11.50%) also gapped higher following quarterly results. Meanwhile, PayPal (PYPL -11.2%) faced selling pressure after disappointing with below-consensus guidance.
Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors moved less than 0.6% in either direction. The energy sector jumped +1.1% amid rising oil prices ($76.24/bbl, +2.46, +3.3%). The utilities sector declined -0.8%.
There was strong demand for a new $25 billion 30-yr bond offering, meanwhile the 10-yr note yield rose six basis points to 4.17% and the 2-yr note yield rose three basis points to 4.45%. |

Extended From Any Sound Base After Volume-Driven Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Novo Nordisk (NVO -$0.27 or -0.23% to $118.39) is stubbornly holding its ground and extended from any sound base after a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($105) and recent low ($103.38 on 1/23/24) define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.
NVO was highlighted in yellow in the 11/02/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 10/13/23 high plus 10 cents while building on an advanced ascending base. It was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 1/05/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Gap Up Gain on Prior Session Triggered Technical Buy Signal".
This Denmark-based Medical - Ethical Drugs firm's shares split 2-1 on 9/20/23. NVO reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +68% on +41% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 4th strong quarter well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady. It has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 372 in Dec '22 to 478 in Dec '23, 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 slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B. |

Y - Finished in the lower third of its intra-day range but above the pivot point after it was highlighted in yellow in the mid-day report. The gain backed by +225% above average volume triggered a technical buy signal. Bullish action came after it reported earnings for the Dec '23 quarter +108% on +16% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Prior quarterly and annual earnings history is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
