Major Indices Indecisive on Mixed Session
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow lost 58 points (-0.2%), while the technology heavy Nasdaq Composite increased 0.4%. The S&P 500 gained 0.1%. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was fairly even as advancers narrowly led decliners on the NYSE and decliners narrowly led advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 19 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 15 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). For any rally to be sustained there must be healthy leadership. It will be important to watch for the new highs totals to improve in the immediate days ahead. Stay tuned!

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines which are converging.

Seven of the eleven sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities finished mixed Wednesday. Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell wrapped up his second day before Congress. During his two days of hawkish rhetoric, markets resumed their sell-off and further inverted the Treasury yield curve. Powell reiterated before the House Financial Services Committee that the central bank will continue to monitor incoming data as they head into their next meeting on March 22 and will reassess how much further interest rates will need to climb to tackle the persistently high inflation.

On the data front, MBA Mortgage Applications jumped 7.4% in the week ended March 3 after declining 5.7% in the prior week. Today’s jump in applications was the first time the reading has risen since February 3 amid the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage increasing. Meanwhile, January’s Job Opening and Labor Turnover Survey fell less than expected as the labor market remains resilient.

Treasuries were mixed, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note adding one basis point (0.01%) to 3.98% while the 30-year bond yield remains unchanged at 3.88%. The yield on the two-year note increased five basis points (0.05%) to 5.06%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped 1.4% to $76.47/barrel as Powell returned to Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, oil ministers continued to debate supply tightness following Russia’s 500,000 barrel per day cut.

Arista Challenging All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Arista Networks Inc (ANET +$5.53 or +3.87% to $148.40) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/27/21 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +72% on +55% sales revenues versus the year ago period. It showed resilience since sputtering below its 200 DMA line after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/22/22.

ANET currently has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +72% on +55% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 5th quarterly comparison strong and steady above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).

It was last shown in this FSU section on 11/14/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Finished in Middle of Intra-Day Range After Challenging Pivot Point".

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,758 in Dec '21 to 2,057 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The high-ranked Computer - Networking firm has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of 245.1 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
