Major Indices Pulled Back With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Nasdaq Composite (+0.2%) finished at a fresh all-time high, meanwhile the S&P 500 (-0.1%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (-0.8%) both closed with losses. Volume reported was lighter that the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of no increase in selling from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 71 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 152 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index pulled back from its all-time high after 4 consecutive gains.
NVIDIA (NVDA +3.12%) was among the influential winners after an analyst raised thier target price. Alphabet (GOOG +2.04%) also posted a gain that added support for the broader market. FedEx (FDX +7.4%) was the top performing stock in the S&P 500 after reporting better than expected earnings and authorizing a new $5 billion share repurchase program.
The S&P 500 information technology (+0.5%) and communication services (+0.9%) sectors were top gainers. Lululemon Athletica (LULU -15.80%) and NIKE (NKE -6.90%) bot registered sharp declines after disappointing guidance. Tesla (TSLA -1.15%) sputtered after lowering production at its China plant amid slowing EV sales. The consumer discretionary sector (-0.6%) declined. The real estate (-1.2%) and financial (-1.2%) sectors underperformed the broader market.
The 2-yr note yield declined three basis points to 4.60%. The 10-yr note yield fell five basis points to 4.22%.

Financial and Commodity-Linked Groups Lost Ground
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX -1.50) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.71%) both posted influential losses while the Retail Index ($RLX -0.03%) finsihed flat on Friday. The tech sector was mixed and little changed, led by the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.21%) as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.25%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.46%) both edged lower. Commodity-linked groups had a slightly negative bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.36%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.70%) to the downside and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.15%) ended lightly in the red.
![]() PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.70%) pulled back on Friday breaking a streak of 9 consecutive gains.

Hubbell Perched at All-Time High After 5 Weekly Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Hubbell (HUBB +$2.92 or +0.70% to $417.92) hit yet another new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive gain backed by near average volume, getting very extended from the previously noted base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($363) defines important support to watch on pullbacks.
HUBB was highlighted yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 1/22/24 high as it rose from a cup-with-handle base. It was last shown in great detail in this FSU section on 2/28/24 with an annotated graph under the headline "Inched to New Highs With Average Volume". Quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% minimum (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic. It has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates.The high-ranked Electrical-Power/Equipmt firm has 53.6 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which 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 805 in Jun '22 to 1,755 in Dec '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication it has been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timeliness Rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.
