Major Indices Were Mixed With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 declined 0.1%; the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.7%; and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by about a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 33 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 33 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but for an 8th consecutive session new lows convincingly outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend that is under pressure (M criteria), Healthy leadership is crucial to any sustained rally. Appropriate new buying efforts may still be considered under the fact-based investment system. Greater caution may be necessary in the event of a more serious correction.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a small gain with light volume, yet it remains consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Total PPI increased 0.3% month-over-month in July following a downwardly revised 0.0% (from 0.1%) for June. Excluding food and energy, the index for final demand was also up 0.3% month-over-month following a downwardly revised 0.1% decline (from +0.1%) for June. On a year-over-year basis, the index for final demand was up 0.8%, versus 0.3% in June, and the index for final demand, excluding food and energy, was up 2.4%, unchanged from June.

The 2-yr note yield, at 4.80% just before the release, rose six basis points to 4.89%. The 10-yr note yield, at 4.08% just before the release, rose nine basis points to 4.17%.

Apple (APPL -0.10%) finished flat, but weakness from Tesla (TSLA -1.10%), Meta Platforms (META -1.34%), and NVIDIA (NVDA -3.62%) weighed on the broader market.

Only four of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed with a loss. Information technology (-0.9%) was the worst performer while energy (+1.6%) was a leading gainer.

Quiet Pullback Undercut 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Polaris (PII -$0.06 or -0.05% to $124.32) pulled back today for a 7th consecutive loss with below-average volume and closed just below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($124.65). More damaging losses would raise greater concerns. Recently it reported Jun '23 quarterly earnings +0% versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. Its Earnings Per Share Rating is currently 88, still above the 80+ minimum guidelint for buy candidates.

PII was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/16/22 high plus 10 cents in the 7/11/23 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven Breakout for Polaris".

It hails from the Leisure-Products group which is ranked 136th on the 197 Industry Groups list. Its Sep, Dec '22, and Mar '23 quarterly sales revenues were strong and earnings increases were above the +25% minimum (C criteria) versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings (A criteria) history had a slight downturn in FY '19 followed by strong growth.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reportedly fell from 613 in Sep '22 to 593 in Mar '23, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is only a slightly bullish sign of accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B+ and B ratings for both Timeliness and Sponsorship.
