Major Indices Ended Mixed Amid Earnings Season

Stocks finished mixed on Tuesday. The Dow was up 25 points to 18559. The S&P 500 lost 3 points to 2163 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 19 points to 5036. The benchmark S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both remain perched at record highs. Big gains for the major indices were noted in prior commentaries and that bullish action signaled a new "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria).  Volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 33 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 37 on the prior session. The number of new 52-week highs contracted yet outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average graph shows the Blue Chip index perched at a new record high after 8 consecutive gains. Volume totals have been light behind the recent gains, however, not indicative of overwhelming institutional buying demand 

See thFeatured Stocks Page which now lists a few noteworthy candidates that have made headway.

The major averages were mostly lower as investors digested mixed corporate earnings releases. Goldman Sachs (GS -1.18%) fell despite the investment bank posting a 74% rise in quarterly profit. Netflix (NFLX -13.13%) fell after reporting weaker-than-expected subscriber growth. On the data front, housing starts increased by 4.8% in June, well above expectations of a 0.2% rise. Building permits grew 1.5% versus projections of a 1.2% increase.

Eight of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on the session. Materials and Energy shares were the worst performing groups. In earnings, Phillip Morris International (PM -3.02%) fell as cigarette shipments declined 4.8% year-over-year. International Business Machines Corp (IBM -0.18%) sputtered with the computer giant reporting its 17th straight quarter of declining revenue. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +1.71%) rose as the consumer products maker raised its full-year guidance as quarterly results were helped by strong U.S. sales. UnitedHealth Group (UNH +1.31%) rose after posting better-than-expected earnings due to strength in its pharmacy benefit management business.

Treasuries advanced with the benchmark 10-year note up 8/32 to yield 1.55%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 1.4% to $44.61/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.2% to $1332.20/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index climbed 0.5%.

Retail Firm Approaching Pivot Point

Ollie's Bargain Outlet (OLLI +$0.45 or +1.75% to $26.15) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/28/16 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs (N criteria) are still needed to trigger a technical buy signal.

It reported earnings +82% on +19% sales revenues for the Apr '16 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record with results above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) for a 5th consecutive quarter. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good.

The Retail-Discount and Variety firm's shares have been consolidating in a tight trading range since it completed another Secondary Offering on 6/06/16. Such offerings often hinder upward price progress for the short term, yet they also help to attract more institutional sponsorship. It completed a Secondary Offering on 2/18/16, and it completed its $16 IPO on 7/16/15. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 98 in Sep '15 to 179 in Jun '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 60 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
