Breadth Negative as Major Indices Encounter Distributional Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow snapped a five-session winning streak, erasing an early session jump of 300 points to end 34 points lower. The S&P 500 slumped 1%, drifting from Friday’s record closing level. The Nasdaq Composite slid 2.6%, its biggest drop since March 18 amid weakness in tech and growth-oriented shares. The index had capped its third consecutive weekly decline on Friday. The small-cap Russell 2000 declined 2.3%. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional selling selling pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 171 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 128 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index retreated from its all-time high.

U.S. stocks finished lower on Monday as investors weighed inflationary concerns. Meanwhile, market participants assessed the implications of a cybersecurity attack that shuttered the nation’s largest fuel pipeline over the weekend. Colonial Pipeline, which operates the 5,500-mile system, suggested that service should fully resume by the end of the week, helping gasoline futures close the day up just 0.3%, well off a three-year high touched overnight. There were no economic releases of note today, but Wednesday’s update on consumer prices will likely headline the week. CPI is expected to spike 3.6% year-over-year in April, gathering momentum from March’s 2.6% jump. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note up two basis points to 1.59%.

Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory, with the Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication Services groups declining the most. In corporate news, Intel (INTC -2.95%), Facebook (FB -4.11%), and Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL -2.58%) each fell on the heels of analyst downgrades. In earnings, beauty company Coty (COTY -12.96%) fell after its profit tally fell short of consensus estimates.

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

Weakness in the Retail Index ($RLX -1.51%) and financials weighed on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.18%) outpaced the Bank Index ($BKX -0.23%) to the downside. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -4.65%) led the tech retreat while the Biotech Index ($BTK -1.71%) and Networking Index ($NWX -1.64%) also fell. The Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.99%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.30%) lost ground along with the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.00%).

Hovering Near All-Time High Following Lackluster Quarter
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Simply Good Foods Co (SMPL -$0.44 or -1.26% to $34.45) is still perched near its all-time high, stubbornly holding its ground with volume totals cooling. A new pivot point has not been cited due to fundamental concerns after it reported Feb '21 quarterly earnings +9% on +2% sales revenues versus the year ago period, raising fundamental concerns. The prior 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. It has an 85 Earnings Per Share Rating.

Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($32.33) defines important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Its current Relative Strength Rating is 78, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. SMPL completed a new Pubic Offering on 10/09/19. The company has a Timeliness Rating of C and Sponsorship Rating of C. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares fell from 442 in Dec '19 to 379 in Mar '21. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.

SMPL was last shown in this FSU section on 4/14/21 with an annotated graph included under the headline, "Perched Near High But Fundamental Concerns Were Raised". It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/09/19 high plus 10 cents in the 12/28/20 mid-day report (read here).

Some leadership has been provided by other companies in the Food/Beverage Sector, however, the Food-Confectionery industry group has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 22 (D) which is a concern regarding the L criteria. There are only 5 companies listed in the group.
