Major Indices Fell Although Leadership Improved

The Dow dropped 102 points (-0.3%) and S&P 500 fell -0.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite declined by -1.2%. Volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Advancers narrowly outnumbered decliners on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by more than a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 54 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 38 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs for the 2nd consecutive session 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is pulling back after hitting a new 2023 high and nearly challenging its Dec '22 high. 

Six of 11 sectors rose while the major averages finished lower on Wednesday. The Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell reaffirmed the Fed’s determination to fight inflation. The message points to a stronger possibility of further interest rate hikes, contradicting some market participants’ bets on an end of rate hikes. Technology companies led the decline.  

On the data front, the Mortgage Bankers Association released the weekly Mortgage Market Index, showing that mortgage applications increased 0.5% last week following the strong housing starts monthly change in May. Treasury yields remained relatively flat today. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note remained flat at 3.72%, while the 30-year bond yield also remained flat at 3.81%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, increased by two basis points (0.02%) to 4.70%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude increased to $72.64/barrel as analysts predict a drawdown in U.S. crude oil inventories.

Perched Near High Following Noted Volume-Driven Gains

SPS Commerce (SPSC -$0.67 or -0.37% to $182.17) pulled back slightly with lighter volume, stubbornly holding its ground near its 52-week high following an impressive streak of gains. It is extended from the previousl noted base.

Recently it 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. Two of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and it still has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 98.

SPSC was highlighted in yellow in the 4/24/23 mid-day report with new pivot point cited based on its 2/15/23 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in this FSU section in greater detail on 5/31/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pulled Back After Quietly Wedging to New Highs".

SPSC hails from the Computer Software - Spec Enterprise group which is currently ranked 6th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 562 in Sep '22 to 586 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B. The small supply of 36.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or sellingA 2:1 split impacted share price on 8/23/19.
