Major Indices Rallied With Greater Leadership

Gains on Friday helped the Dow Jones Industrial Average (+1.0%) and S&P 500 (+0.6%) close at all-time highs. The Nasdaq Composite logged a +0.3% gain, meanwhile the Russell 2000 outperformed its peers, rising +2.1%.The volume reported was mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by about a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 37 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 37 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is perched within striking distance of its all-time high, consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. 

The latest economic data including the September Producer Price Index and preliminary consumer sentiment data from October led the market to believe that the Fed won't stop cutting rates. The Treasury market saw the 10-yr yield settle two basis points lower at 4.07%. The 2-yr yield settled six basis points lower at 3.94%. The financial sector finished +2.0% higher. The consumer discretionary sector showed a -0.4% loss.

Tesla (TSLA -8.78%) fell following a disappointing reveal of its robotaxi, meanwhile there was a solid gain for Uber Technologies (UBER +10.81%). There were gains following the latest earnings results from JPMorgan Chase (JPM +4.44%), Wells Fargo (WFC +5.61%), and BlackRock (BLK +3.63%).  Bank of America (BAC +4.98%) also was an influential winner after news that 10% owner Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett sold roughly $382 million worth of its shares.

Celistica Hits New All-Time High With 8th Straight Gain

Celestica (CLS +$1.81 or +2.96% to $63.06) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 7/16/24 high plus 10 cents. It touched a new all-time high with its 8th consecutive volume-driven gain. Subsequent gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at leats +40% above average volume may trigger a proper new technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.

CLS was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 7/19/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Testing 50-Day Moving Average Line After Wedging to New High".It found prompt support near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line during its consolidation, then rebounded since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/29/24.

CLS hails from the high ranked Elec-Contract Mfg group which is now ranked 35th on the 197 Industry Groups List (L criteria). CLS recently reported earnings +65% on +23% sales revenues for the Jun '24 quarter versus the year ago period, and 8 of the last 9 quarterly comparisons were at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since bottoming in FY '19. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

There are only 121.5 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 owning its shares rose from 322 in Jun '23 to 652 in Sep '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
