Major Averages Posted Gains With Solid Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The stock market saw very little challenge from sellers outside of some individual stocks and the S&P 500 hit a new 52-week high. The volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 119 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 65 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly 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 Nasdaq Composite Index outpaced the other major averages with Monday's solid gain. It is up +36.1% year-to-date.

Leadership continues from mega-cap stocks including Apple (AAPL +1.7%), Tesla (TSLA +3.20), and NVIDIA (NVDA +2.2%). The financial sector (+1.0%) was a pocket of relative strength in front of earnings reports due from Bank of America (BAC +1.0%), Morgan Stanley (MS +0.7%), and Charles Schwab (SCHW +0.2%) before Tuesday's open.

AT&T (T -6.7%) and Verizon (VZ -7.5%) both slumped amid concerns about potential liabilities and financial risk related to the telecom industry's historical use of lead sheathed cables. The weakness in Alphabet (GOOG -0.5%) also was responsible for the underperformance of the communication services sector (-0.7%). Microsoft (MSFT +0.1%) eked out a gain after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the FTC's appeal to uphold the block on Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard (ATVI +3.5%).

Perched Near Pivot Point After Best-Ever Close
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC +$4.30 or +4.67% to $96.45) posted a gain today with below average volume for a best-ever close. It is perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($86.38) defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks

LSCC was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/23/23 high plus 10 cents in the 6/13/23 mid-day report (read here). Fundamentals remain strong. The high-ranked Elec-Semicondctor Fablss firm reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +38% on +22% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 9th consecutive strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. It has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, the highest possible rank.

The company has 137.6 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 765 in Jun '22 to 1,043 in Jun '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of A but an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of C+. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is a sign of slight distribution over the past 50 days.
