Nasdaq Composite Index Led Major Indices as Dow Industrials Lagged
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 Index (+0.7%) and Nasdaq Composite Index (+1.1%), which hit a new record high, closed at or near their intra-day highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average underperformed, closing little changed and near the session low. Volume was lighter on both major exchanges, reflecting a lack of participation in front of the three-day weekend. Markets will closed on Monday for Memorial Day. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and near a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 67 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page matching the total of 64 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new low outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria).
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating following a "negative reversal" and loss with higher volume on Thursday after hitting a new all-time high.
Ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed with gains. The communication services (+1.3%) and information technology (+1.1%) notched the largest gains while the health care sector (-0.3%) was alone in negative territory.
The 2-yr note yield settled two basis points higher at 4.95%. The 10-yr note yield settled one basis point lower at 4.46%. Treasuries initially saw an uptick in selling following a stronger-than-expected April Durable Orders report (+0.7%). Selling pressure eased following the final reading of the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment survey, which showed that year-ahead inflation expectations slowed to 3.3% from 3.5% in the preliminary reading.

Big "Breakaway Gap" for Deckers Outdoor
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Deckers Outdoor Corp (DECK +$128.25 or +14.18% to $1,032.90) finished strong after was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/21/24 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Its "breakaway gap" was backed by +101% above average volume as it hit a new all-time high today triggering a technical buy signal. The prior high ($956) defines initial support to watch on pullbacks.
DECK has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. Bullish action came after it reported very strong Mar '24 quarterly earnings +43% on +21% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly earnings comparisons were also well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,411 in Jun '23 to 1,865 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the investment system's I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days.
It has a small supply of only 25.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which makes it prone to be a volatile stock in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The small supply is favorable, provided proper discipline is used.
