Major Indices Erased Gains Late in Session to Close Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices were trading higher for the majority of Tuesday's session but a late afternoon retreat led the S&P 500 Index to finish -0.3% lower and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell -0.4%. Volume reported was higher that the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 57 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 51 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs 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 with a 3rd consecutive loss.
Market participants were reacting to an above-consensus Durable Orders report for February and a weaker than expected Consumer Confidence Index for March that was little changed from February's revised reading.
Meta Platforms (META -1.42%), NVIDIA (NVDA -2.57%), and Broadcom (AVGO -1.49%) each lost ground. Only one of the S&P 500 sectors fell more than 1.0% utilities (-1.1%), meanwhile the energy (-0.8%) and information technology (-0.8%) sectors also fell. The health care (+0.3%), financial (+0.2%), and consumer staples (+0.1%) sectors logged gains.

Consolidating Abover Recent Highs and Above 50-Day Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Arista Networks Inc (ANET -$7.67 or -2.51% to $297.83) pulled back from its all-time high with today's 2nd consecutive loss backed by below-average volume. Its prior highs in the $292 area define initial support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($271). Its color code was changed to yellow after forming a new flat base noted as a riskier "late stage" base.
ANET finished strong after it was highlighted in yellow and new pivot point cited is based on its prior high plus 10 cents in the 10/31/23 mid-day report (read here). It was last covered in detail in this FSU section on 3/01/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Best Ever Close for Arista Networks".
Fundamentals remain strong. ANET currently has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. Through the Dec '23 quarter it has shown 8 consecutive quarterly comparisons with strong and steady earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,758 in Dec '21 to 2,530 in Dec '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. The high-ranked Computer - Networking firm has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. Its small supply of 253.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
