Major Indices Were Mixed and Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices ended mixed and little changed on Thursday. Volume totals reported were slightly lower than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancer by a narrow margin on the NYSE and by a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 38 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page matching the total of 38 on the prior session. New 52-week high outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while totals were evenly matched on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) that recently endured some pressure. Disciplined investors will watch for encouraging new highs totals to see the market showing some broad-based strength and resiience. Any uptrend requires healthy leadership.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has rebounded to its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
A mixed batch of economic data included higher-than-expected initial jobless claims, a soothing downward revision to Q1 unit labor costs, and a widening in the April trade deficit. The market appeared indecisive ahead of Friday's release of the May Employment Report.
Lululemon athletica (LULU +4.8%) and J.M. Smucker (SJM +4.6%) were sold gainers following solid earnings and/or guidance, and as top performing components in their respective sectors, they boosted the consumer discretionary sector +1.0% and the consumer staples sector +0.4%. There was slight weakness in the information technology sector (-0.5%).
The 10-yr note yield settle one basis point lower at 4.28% and the 2-yr note yield fell one basis point to 4.72%.

Streak of Losses Testing 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
U.S. Lime & Minerals (USLM -$7.36 -or 2.19% to $328.14) ended near the session low as it fell for a 15th loss in the span of 16 sessions, testing its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($327) which defines important near-term support to watch. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.
Fundamentals remain strong. USLM reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +31% on +7% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. USLM has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. The thinly traded firm has only 5.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
USLM was highlighted in yellow in the 2/09/24 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 5/14/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Stubbornly Held Ground and Posted Quiet Gain for Best-Ever Close". The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 192 in Mar '23 to 230 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. |
