Major Indices Rose With Positive Breadth and Better Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow jumped 185 points to 29,823. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each closed at a fresh all-time high, with the benchmarks adding 1.1 and 1.3%, respectively. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 62 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 43 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria) with recent follow-through gains backed by higher volume and more leadership. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.  PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rallied to a new record high.
Stocks ended higher on Tuesday, as investors digested encouraging COVID vaccine news and fiscal stimulus updates. Vice President Mike Pence noted that an approved vaccine could be distributed as soon as the third week of December. Elsewhere, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said he was working on a revised stimulus package with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin after a group of bipartisan lawmakers unveiled a separate $900 billion relief bill.
Central bank updates also garnered attention, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell appearing before the Senate Banking Committee. He expressed the need for additional fiscal aid and said the uncertainty around the timing of an effective COVID vaccine clouds the economic outlook. On the data front, the ISM's gauge of U.S. manufacturing activity showed the pace of expansion slowed more than expected in November. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note jumping seven basis points to 0.92%. In commodities, WTI crude fell 1.7% to $44.56/barrel.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with Industrials narrowly bucking the uptrend. The Communication Services paced the gains with a 2% advance. The Financials group also outperformed amid an uptick in Treasury yields. In corporate news, Zoom Video (ZM -15.06%) fell after highlighting higher costs following an earnings and revenue beat. Tesla (TSLA +3.02%) rose after S&P Dow Jones Indices noted that the company will be added to the S&P 500 index in a single tranche on December 21. |

Trex Company Inc (TREX +0.31 or +0.41% to $75.13) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($73.74). Volume-driven gains helped its technical stance and outlook improve. Recently it reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +14% on +19% sales revenues versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns while breaking a streak of 4 consecutive quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).
TREX last appeared in this FSU section on 11/04/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rebound Above 50-Day Moving Average Helped Technical Stance". It has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong. The company hails from the General Building Materials industry group which currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of (68) B.
The company has a new CEO as of 4/29/20. After a 2:1 share split effective 9/15/20 it now has a supply (S criteria) of 115.8 million shares outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 540 in Jun '19 to 766 in Sep '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of C.

Y - Erased an early gain today after challenging its 52-week high. Near term support is defined by its 50 DMA line ($22.05) and an upward trendline. It has formed an advanced "ascending base" marked by 3 pullbacks of 10-20% after a big breakaway gap on 7/24/20. Subsequent gains above the pivot point marked by +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +57% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved after a downturn in FY '17.
