Major Averages Extend Rally With Tech and Financial Strength
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 828 points and finished the week 5.7% higher. The blue-chip index notched its longest weekly winning streak since November 2021. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.9% to notch a 2.2% weekly gain. The S&P 500 jumped 2.5% and closed the week up 4%. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing less institutional buying demand. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 60 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 45 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The recent follow-through day helped establish a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) will be essential in the near-term for the rally to be productive. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a 6th consecutive gain with higher volume and rose above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line for the first time since August.
U.S. equities finished higher Friday as investors shook off the impact of weaker-than-expected earnings from Technology giants. Stocks were whipsawed this week as Wall Street digested a slew of economic and consumer data and third-quarter earnings. Amazon.com Inc (AMZN -6.80%) fell after missing revenue estimates and slashed their fourth-quarter sales outlook. Intel Corp. (INTC +10.66%) rose after surpassing earnings estimates and introducing a cost-cutting plan. Apple Inc (AAPL +7.56%) rose after beating top and bottom line estimates, but reported iPhone sales missed forecasts. On the data front today, personal income and personal spending both rose in September, indicating consumer resilience in the face of soaring inflation. Meanwhile, the Core PCE Deflator (the Fed’s preferred proxy for inflation) accelerated in September while pending home sales declined 10.2%.
Treasuries yields climbed, with the yield on the 10-year note climbing 10 basis points (0.10%) to 4.00%, while the 30-year bond yield rose seven basis points (0.07%) to 4.13% The yield on the two-year note advanced 12 basis points (0.12%) to 4.41%. Despite today’s moves, Treasuries strengthened this week, with the yields on the 10-year note and 30-year bond down 22 basis points (0.22%) and 20 basis points (0.20%), respectively. The two-year note yield shed seven basis points (0.07%) this week. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 1% to $88.17/barrel, but notched a 3.7% weekly gain as tight supply conditions outweighed demand concerns. |

This week's rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($281.92) helped its outlook improve. It faces little resistance due to overhead supply up to the $324 level.

It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. It reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +108% on +81% sales revenues versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earnings history above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).

The company hails from the Energy-Solar group which is currently ranked 2nd of the 197 Industry Groups (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,068 in Dec '20 to 2,017 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.
