TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The major averages are in a continuing market correction (M criteria) and sputtering near lows for the year. Followers of the fact-based investment system know to patiently watch for a solid follow-through day to confirm a new uptrend before any new buying efforts may be justified.

Major Averages Rose With Lighter Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 599 points, while the S&P 500 jumped 2.1%. The Nasdaq Composite rallied 2.9%, clawing out of bear market territory (defined as a 20% drawdown from a recent peak). Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 16 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) are in a "correction" and disciplined investors are reminded to reduce exposure and raise cash.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a gain with lighter volume after slumping to a new 2022 low with higher volume on the prior session.

U.S. stocks finished firmly higher on Tuesday as concerns surrounding persistent price pressures were somewhat alleviated by an in-line inflation reading and another drop in oil prices. West Texas Intermediate crude retreated 7.4% to $95.40/barrel, closing below $100/barrel for the first time since February 28, as the latest wave of the pandemic in China dampened the outlook for energy demand from the world’s second-largest economy. Signs that Iran nuclear talks could resume also provided a headwind to oil prices.

On the data front, the Producer Price Index (PPI) increased 10% year-over-year in February, matching consensus estimates and January’s annual gain. Core PPI (excluding food and energy) jumped a smaller-than-anticipated 8.4% year-over-year during the month. Elsewhere, the empire manufacturing survey unexpectedly dropped to -11.8 in March, the lowest reading since May 2020. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is widely anticipated to raise its benchmark rate for the first time since 2018 at the conclusion of their two-day policy meeting tomorrow. Treasuries were mixed, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point (0.01%) to 2.15%, its highest level since May 2019.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors are trading in positive territory, with Energy the lone laggard. Technology and Consumer Discretionary shares outperformed, as growth-related shares rebounded. Airline operators were also among the standouts, benefitting from a slide in oil prices and positive commentary from some of the largest U.S. carriers.

Retail, Tech, and Financial Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Hovering Near High After Rising From Prior Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Hawkins Inc (HWKN -$0.59 or -1.27% to $45.74) is hovering near its all-time high, extended from any sound base. Prior highs in the $40 area coincide with its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defining important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

HWKN was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/04/22 high plus 10 cents in the 2/03/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last covered in greater detail on 2/18/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Prior Base After 6th Consecutive Gain".

Bullish action came after it reported Dec '21 quarterly earnings +26% on +31% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Three of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with a strong sales revenues growth rate. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong after a downturn in FY '18. It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 91.

There are only 21.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 326 in Mar '21 to 340 in Dec '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The company hails from the CHEMICALS - Basic Chemicals industry group which is currently ranked 28th on the 187 Industry Groups list (L criteria). It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B.
