Major Indices Rose But Small Caps Sputtered Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow increased 168 points (0.5%) and S&P 500 rose 0.6% while the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.0%. Volume totals reported were lower on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was fairly even with decliners leading advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and advancers leading decliners just slightly on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 45 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 110 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted but still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a gain with lighter volume for a new 2023 high close. The benchmark index is up +11.8% year-to-date.
Seven of 11 sectors finished in positive territory U.S. equities rose on Thursday led by technology stocks moving higher. Bond yields declined along with the dollar. Market movements were in part driven by new data releases providing new insights on the labor market today. Weekly initial jobless claims surged 12% higher to 261,000, outpacing the anticipated 235,000 new claims. On the other hand, continuing claims declined and came in below the anticipated level. The weekly data can be choppy, however, a four-week moving average of initial claims still showed an increase beating expectations. The resilient labor market seems to be showing signs of cooling, adding to market anticipation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may pause hiking rates next week.
Treasury yields moved lower. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note dropped eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.71%, while the 30-year bond yield decreased six basis points (0.06%) to 3.88%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, decreased by five basis points (0.05%) to 4.51%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped to $70.97/barrel. False reporting had indicated that the U.S. and Iran may be nearing a deal on oil exports. However, the White House announced the information as false ahead of a drop in oil prices.

Graphic Packaging Hits New High With 6th Consecutive Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Graphic Packaging Hldg (GPK +$0.14 or +0.53% to $26.45) hit a new all-time high with today's 6th consecutive gain. It did not form a sound new base of sufficient length but quickly recovered after testing its 4/27/23 low last week.
GPK was last shown in this FSU section on 4/10/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Packaging Firm Due to Report Earnings News". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/12/22 high plus 10 cents in the 10/25/22 mid-day report (read here). It has an 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +60% on +9% sales revenues versus the year ago period. The past 5 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history has been good, meeting the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (A criteria).
The Paper & Paper Products group is ranked 188th on the 197 Industry Groups list and it has a E (6) Group Relative Strength Rating, not reassuring concerning the L criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 596 in Sep '21 to 825 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Hitting a new all-time high and approaching its "max buy" level with today's big gain backed by light volume. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, it has made very little headway in recent weeks. It was repeatedly noted - "Subsequent gains and new highs backed by at least +40% above average volume may help reconfirm a technical buy signal."

G - Color code is changed to green while rising above its "max buy" level and hitting a new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain backed by near average volume. Gains above the pivot point were not backed by +40% above average volume, so it did not trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +22% on +20% versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising some fundamental concerns.
