Indices Rose With Greater Volume and More Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher Wednesday. The Dow gained 434 points to 25,014 while the S&P 500 added 41 points to 2,681. The Nasdaq jumped 154 points to 7,183. The volume totals were higher than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 21 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 19 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend after recently noted improvements helped to signal a change in market direction (M criteria) back to a bullish stance. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line, a technical sign the market is in more "healthy" shape.
The major averages rallied as investors digested a day packed with earnings, central bank, and political news. Stocks climbed to session highs while Treasury yields and the dollar dipped following the conclusion of the January Federal Reserve meeting. As expected, the Fed left its benchmark rate unchanged and said it plans to be “patient” regarding future interest rate hikes and its balance sheet reduction program. On the data front, private payrolls rose 213,000 in January, more than a projected 181,000 increase. Another report showed pending home sales dipped to the lowest level in five years in December.
Technology shares paced gains with Apple (AAPL +6.83%) after profit and sales came in slightly above analyst expectations despite a dip in iPhone sales. Boeing (BA +6.25%) was another notable gainer, rising after the jet maker announced annual sales topped $100 billion for the first time. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +19.95%) rallied after the chipmaker provided optimistic forward guidance. Meanwhile, AT&T (T -4.33%) fell after adding fewer new subscribers than in the previous quarter.
Treasuries strengthened with the yield on the 10-year note fell two basis points to 2.69%. In commodities, WTI crude added 1.8% to $54.28/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.7% to $1,318.00/ounce. |

Rallied Near 52-Week High With a Volume-Driven Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Medpace Holdings Inc (MEDP +$3.22 or +5.31% to $63.90) was highlighter in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/17/18 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It nearly challenged its 52-week high with today's big gain backed by +57% above average volume. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.
Fundamentals remain strong. It support at its 200 DMA line during the consolidations in recent months. It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/19/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Slumped Badly After Challenging Prior High".
The high-ranked Medical-Research Eqp/Svc firm reported earnings +68% on +62% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter marking the 3rd consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and it has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating, putting it in the top 5% of all publicly traded companies.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 188 in Dec '17 to 424 in Dec '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship rating of B. Proposed yet another Secondary Offering on 8/07/18. Completed Secondary Offerings on 6/12/18, 5/04/18, and 12/01/17.

Y - Due to report earnings news on 1/30/19. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Pulling back today after wedging to a new all-time high last week.

Y - Volume totals have been drying up while hovering near its high. Reported earnings +92% on +39% sales revenues for the Dec '18 quarter. Subsequent gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may help to clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($85.29) and prior low define near-term support to watch on pullbacks. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
