Leadership Improved as Indices Rose and Closed a Very Strong Week
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow jumped 161 points, extending its weekly climb to 3.3%. The S&P 500 rose 0.9%, notching its second consecutive weekly advance with a 3.8% gain. The Nasdaq Composite rallied 1.4% for the day and 4.6% for the week. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE and 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 106 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 90 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded again and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts may be justified in leading stocks on a case-by-case basis.
 PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) lines and -3.3% off its record high.
Stocks ended higher on Friday as market participants digested fiscal stimulus developments, and upbeat corporate news provided a boost to investor sentiment. The White House said they were working on a $1.8 trillion package, up from its previous $1.6 trillion proposal. This followed earlier optimism that stemmed from a phone conversation between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin which mentioned “prospects of an imminent agreement” for fiscal aid.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory with the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary stocks leading the advance. In corporate news, Xilinx (XLNX +14.11%) rallied after reports indicated Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -3.94%) was looking to acquire the specialty chipmaker. Elsewhere, NXP Semiconductors (NXPI +4.97%) rose after raising profit outlook amid “material” improvement in demand. Gilead Sciences (GILD +0.82%) rose following positive data from its COVID-19 anti-viral treatment, remdesivir, which showed a reduction in recovery time by five days compared to patients who were given a placebo.
On the data front, the lone update showed wholesale inventories rose by 0.4% in August, slightly lower from the prior reading of 0.5%. Treasuries modestly weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up one basis points to 0.77%. In commodities, WTI crude fell 1.6% to $40.53/barrel, paring its weekly advance to 9%. COMEX gold jumped 2.1% to $1929.10/ounce amid a weaker dollar. |

New Record High for Charles River Labs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Charles River Labs Intl (CRL +$6.08 or +2.57% to $242.57) posted a big gain with +22% above average volume today for a new all-time high. During its recent consolidations it found prompt support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($218.54) where any subsequent violation would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.
Fundamental concerns were raised when it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but the results were better than expected and the company also raised its guidance. It now has a 92 Earnings Per Share Rating, down from 96 prior to the report. The 2 prior quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.
It hails from the Medical - Research Equipment/Services industry group which has an 65 Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 681 in Dec '19 to 771 in Jun '20, and its Up/Down Volume Ratio is 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. There is a small number of only 49.7 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

G - Volume totals have been cooling while consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($477). More damaging losses below the 50 DMA would raise greater concerns. Faces near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $536 level. Fundamentals remain strong. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

G - Pulled back today with above average volume as the company reportedly was considering buying Xilinx Inc (XLNX). Recently found support near its 50 DMA line ($81.96). Any deterioration below the 50 DMA line and the recent low ($73.85 on 9/18/20) would raise greater concerns and trigger more worrisome technical sell signals. It has not formed a sound base of sufficient length and faces some resistance due to overhead supply up to the $94 level. Fundamentals remain strong.

Any losses below the 50 DMA line ($71.53) or recent low ($63.32 on 9/21/20) would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. Do not be confused by the 2:1 share split effective 9/15/20 (Featured Price, Pivot Point, and Max Buy prices have been adjusted accordingly). Fundamentals remain strong.

G - Rebounding toward its prior high ($557 on 9/01/20) which may act as resistance. Consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($498) and above the recent low ($458.60 on 9/18/20). Those levels define important near term support where any further deterioration would raise more serious concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

Most Recent Note - 10/6/2020 9:07:12 PM
Y - Pulled back today after 4 consecutive gains into new high territory. Color code was recently changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 8/04/20 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are still needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent rebound above its 50 DMA line ($113.76) helped its outlook to improve. Any losses below the 50 DMA line and latest low ($101.30 on 9/21/20) would raise greater concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals. Reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings +21% on +4% sales revenues, breaking a streak of 4 comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).
