Major Indices Pause at Record Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell 128 points, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite reversed earlier session gains to end 0.2% and 0.1% lower, respectively. Advancers and decliners were evenly mixed on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained strong as there were 99 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 98 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals again solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices' (M criteria) remain in a confirmed uptrend. Disciplined investors buy individual stocks on a case-by-case basis only if all key criteria are met. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched at its all-time high.
Stocks slipped from record highs Thursday as investors assessed a spike in reported coronavirus cases. The World Health Organization noted the sharp jump in confirmed cases in China’s Hubei province included cases from prior days and weeks, and had been largely attributed to a revised method of diagnosis.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory, with the Industrial group leading laggards. In earnings, Cisco (CSCO -5.23%) fell after providing disappointing forward guidance. Kraft Heinz (KHZ -7.56%) sank after the company revealed sales declined in the latest quarter. Applied Materials (AMAT +3.06%) rose after offering a positive first-quarter forecast. In other corporate news, Microsoft (MSFT -0.54%) fell after the a federal judge granted Amazon’s (AMZN -0.47%) request to temporarily block the Tech giant’s $10 billion clouding computing contract with the Pentagon.
Treasuries were slightly higher, with the yield on the 10-year note down two basis points to 1.61%. On the data front, an update showed consumer prices rose 0.1% last month, slightly below the prior figure and forecasts of a 0.2% uptick. Core CPI (excluding volatile components food and energy) advanced 2.3% year-over-year in January, climbing by the same pace for the fourth straight month.
In commodities, WTI crude rose 0.8% to $51.57/barrel despite the International Energy Agency forecasting that global oil consumption for the current quarter will decline for the first time in more than a decade. COMEX gold added 0.5% to $1,575.10/ounce. |

Breakout Gain Backed By +462% Above Average Volme
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Endava Plc Cl A Ads (DAVA +6.67 or +13.81% to $54.98) was highlighted in yellow with a new pivot point cited based on its 12/26/19 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here) . It spiked to a new all-time high with a big volume-driven gain today triggering a technical buy signal. It found prompt support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($46.95) during recent consolidations.
Bullish action came after it reported earnings +60% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 versus the year ago period, marking its 6th consecutive quarter with earnings increasing above the +25 minimum guideline (C criteria).
The Computer-Tech Services firm completed a Secondary Offering on 4/17/19. Limited history was noted as a concern for this UK-based Computer - Tech Services firm since it completed its $20 IPO on 7/27/18. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 66 in Mar '19 to 141 in Dec '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been near neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and Sponsorship Rating of B.

Y - Due to report earnings news. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Found support near its 50 DMA line ($56.94) during its recent consolidation. Quietly hovering only -2.7% off its all-time high, but its current Relative Strength Rating of 65 is below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Subsequent gains above its pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a new technical buy signal.
