Breadth Remained Positive as Major Indices Posted Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices finished with modest gains and showed a continued aversion to negative territory. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, indicative of increasing institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 100 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 155 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered shrinking 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 hit a new 2023 high with its 7th gain in the span of 8 sessions. It is up +18.9% year-to-date.

Mega cap names showed some hesitation in front of earnings reports after the close from Tesla (TSLA -0.7%) and Netflix (NLFX +0.6%). On the earnings front, Goldman Sachs (GS +1.0%) outperformed despite missing on Q2 EPS estimates. J.B. Hunt (JBHT +3.8%) also posted a sizable gain despite mentioning a freight recession but some improvement in customer destocking.

Northern Trust (NTRS +13.4%), M&T Bank (MTB +2.5%), Western Alliance (WAL +7.8%), and U.S. Bancorp (USB +6.5%) were notable winners following their earnings reports. The real estate (+1.1%) and utilities (+1.0%) sectors saw the largest gains, meanwhile, only three S&P 500 sectors closed with losses.

Treasuries settled with gains. The 2-yr note yield fell one basis point to 4.75% and the 10-yr note yield fell five basis points to 3.74%. The $12 billion 20-yr bond reopening was met with lukewarm demand.

Pulled Back From High With Lighter Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Comfort Systems U S A (FIX -$0.86 to $169.20) pulled back today after a solid gain on the prior session with above-average volume hitting another new all-time high. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($157.48) defines important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Keep in mind it is due to report Jun '23 quarterly results on 7/27/23. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong and steady. It has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. Bullish action came after it reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +66% on +33% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. FIX was highlighted in yellow in the 2/23/23 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point cited based on its 11/23/22 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in greater detail on 6/16/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "'Negative Reversal' Following Recent Volume-Driven Gains".

It hails from the Building - A/C & Heating Products group which is currently ranked 13th on the 197 Industry Groups list. It has a small supply of only 35.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds that own its shares rose from 487 in Jun '22 to 622 in Jun '23, a reassuring sign regarding the I criteria.
