Major Indices Pulled Back With Lighter Volume Totals

The Dow lost 65 points, while the Nasdaq Composite retreated 1.2%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 9-7 margin on the NYSE and by nearly a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 35 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 42 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchangeThe recently noted follow-through day confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria). Strict followers of the fact-based investment system only buy stocks fitting all key fundamental and technical investment criteria.

PICTURED: The S & P 500 Index ended lower Wednesday and broke a 4-session winning streak. The recent rebound above both the 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines helped its technical stance and improved the overall market outlook.

U.S. stocks finished lower on Wednesday, pausing their recent relief rally. Geopolitical updates weighed on sentiment, with the U.S. and its allies remaining skeptical of Russia’s pledge to reduce military activity. Furthermore, Moscow reported no breakthroughs during the latest round of ceasefire talks. West Texas Intermediate crude rebounded 3% to $107.38/barrel, ending a two-day slide.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed negative territory, with Consumer Discretionary shares leading the downturn following disappointing earnings. Chewy Inc. (CHWY -16.10%) fell after the pet supply retailer offered a disappointing outlook. RH (RH -13.33%) fell after the home furnishing company flagged weaker demand trends. Meanwhile, apparel maker PVH Corp. (PHV -6.54%) fell on soft guidance amid lingering macro uncertainty and ongoing inflation. Lululemon Athletica Inc. (LULU +9.58%) bucked the downtrend, jumping on improved forecasts. Technology also lagged, with chipmakers particularly weak.

Treasuries strengthened after the yield on the two-year note briefly surpassed the 10-year note yield for the first time since August 2019 on Tuesday. The yield on the longer-dated maturity ended today’s session five basis points (0.05%) lower at 2.34%, while the two-year note yield dipped by the same amount to 2.31%. On the data front, a release revealed private payrolls increased by 455,000 in March. Separately, a final reading of U.S. fourth-quarter GDP reflected a 6.9% annualized growth rate during the October-December period, modestly below the previously reported 7% print.

Recently Perched Within Striking Distance of Prior Highs

Textainer Group Holdings (TGH -$0.43 or -1.10% to $38.57) ended lower and volume was below average behind today's 4th consecutive small loss. Volume has been cooling while hovering within close striking distance of its all-time high. The color code was changed to yellow after rebounding above its 50 DMA line ($37.75) since it was last covered in greater detail on 3/14/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Slumped Below 50-Day Moving Average Line Toward Prior Lows". Important near-term support to watch is its 200 DMA line ($35.45) and prior lows. Any violations would raise serious concerns and trigger technical sell signals. 

TGH was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/05/21 high plus 10 cents in the 1/31/22 mid-day report (read here). Fundamentals remain strong. TGH has the highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. It reported Dec '21 quarterly earnings +80% on +23% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 7th strong earnings comparison. Sales revenues growth has been improving and accelerating in recent quarterly comparisons, a strong match with regard to the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong after a downturn and loss in FY '16.

It hails from the Commercial Services - Leasing industry group which is currently ranked 96th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria), down from 72nd a month a ago. There are 49.3 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 has risen from 294 in Dec '20 to 341 in Dec '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. However, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of C.
