Major Indices Ended Mixed With Less Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Wall Street, the Dow slipped 26 points. The S&P 500 added 0.1%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.2%. Advancers led decliners by a very narrow margin on the NYSE, meanwhile decliners outnumbered advancers by a 9-7 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 59 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 113 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a "confirmed uptrend" after enduring distributional pressure in recent weeks. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index remains perched near its record high
Stocks rebounded from session lows to end mixed on Thursday, as investors digested corporate earnings results and developments on China’s coronavirus. Reports showed the World Health Organization (WHO) called the outbreak a local Chinese emergency, helping to calm fears of an international epidemic. However, stocks in China fell the most since May overnight after authorities put two cities on lockdown in an attempt to contain the spread of the respiratory disease.
Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory, with Health Care and Energy sectors leading laggards. Industrials outperformed following a rebound in airline companies. American Airlines (AAL +5.42%) and United Airlines (UAL +1.85%) rose. In earnings, Texas Instruments (TXN +0.68%) rose after the chipmaker posted positive quarterly results and improved its current-quarter revenue forecast. Proctor & Gamble (PG 1.-05%) slipped after the consumer products giant missed Wall Street sales expectations for the first time in five quarters, but increased its full-year guidance. Comcast (CMCSA -3.77%) fell after reporting a drop in video-subscribers. Apparel-maker VF Corp. (VFC -9.69%) fell following disappointing quarterly sales and a reduction to its full-year outlook.
Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down three basis points to 1.73%. On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at 211,000 in the most recent week. Separately, the Leading Index of Economic Indicators declined more than expected in December. In commodities, WTI crude lost 2.0% to $55.58/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.3% to $1,561.40/ounce. |

Gapped Up for New High But Ended Near Session Low
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Paycom Software Inc (PAYC +$11.57 or +3.81% to $314.85) gapped up today hitting a new all-time high but finished bear the session low. It is very extended from any sound base with above average volume behind its 6th consecutive gain. Its prior high ($279.95 on 11/27/19) and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($267.52) define important near-term support levels to watch. Fundamentals remain strong.
PAYC finished strong after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 8/29/19 high plus 10 cents in the 11/20/19 mid-day report (read here). The gain for a new high was backed by +167% above average volume and triggered a new technical buy signal. It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/03/20 under the headline "Perched Near High and Near the Max Buy Level" .
It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 98, well above the 80+ minimum guidelin efor buy candidates. It reported earnings +35% on +31% sales revenues for the Sep '19 quarter, well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.
The Computer Software - Enterprise firm's current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 3.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 58.4 million shares outstanding (S criteria) 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 384 in Jun '17 to 916 in Sep '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness rating of A and Sponsorship rating of B. It completed Secondary Offerings on 11/13/15, 9/16/15, 5/15/15 and 1/14/15 since its $15 IPO on 4/15/14. |
