Major Averages Tally Gains With Lighter Volume Conviction

The major averages experienced a turnaround on Tuesday bolstered by encouraging economic data and corporate earnings results. The volume totals on the exchanges were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, however, indicating lackluster institutional buying demand. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 5 to 1 ratio on the NYSE and nearly a 4-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs totals expanded on both exchanges, and new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 22 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 10 stocks. There were gains from all of the 16 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Before the open, a report showed housing starts unexpectedly climbed 7.0% in March to its highest level since June 2008. Another report showed consumer prices declined -0.2% last month. Excluding food and energy, the core CPI increased +0.1%. Industrial production rose +0.4% while capacity utilization edged up to 78.5% from a downwardly revised prior reading of 78.3%.

On the earnings front, Coca-Cola Co (KO +5.7%) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +2.12%) rallied after both companies posted positive quarterly results. Shares of W.W. Grainger Inc (GWW +7.17%) following the hardware supply distributor’s earnings beat and increased full-year forecast. In the financials, The Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS -1.61%) fell and U.S. Bancorp (USB -1.77%) as revenues at both companies fell short of consensus estimates. Shares of International Paper Co (IP +4.7%) to pace the materials sector higher.

Treasuries were lower with the 10-year note down 12/32 to yield 1.72%.

The market's (M criteria) quick evaporation of leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) and decisive pullback on higher volume is a sign of distribution which indicates the current rally is clearly under pressure. Investors should be watchful for technical sell signals and be ready to reduce market exposure if more damaging deterioration occurs in the near-term. New buying efforts are only justified in stocks meeting all key criteria, but investors should be especially cautious until broader strength returns.  The most noteworthy and actionable leaders are listed on the Featured Stocks page.

Tech, Energy, Retail, and Financial Groups Rise

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.87%) helped provide a positive influence for the major averages. The financial groups including the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.88%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +1.35%) also underpinned the market advance. Gains in energy-related shares helped the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.54%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.25%) ratchet higher, and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.91%) also posted a solid gain. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.17%) led the tech sector higher while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.91%) and Internet Index ($IIX +1.30%) tallied solid gains and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.23%) also edged higher. Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.67%) sputtered for a small loss.

Fundamental Concerns Remain While Hovering At Highs

Comcast Corp Cl A (CMCSA +$0.26 or +0.63% to $41.41) is hovering near its 52-week high after finding recent support and rallying from its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Its Relative Strength Rating has slumped to 79, just under the 80+ guideline for buy candidates. Fundamental concerns remain since it reported earnings +11% on +6% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It was last shown in this FSU section on 3/19/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Weakening Fundamental and Technical Characteristics a Concern", while testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and enduring mild distributional pressure. 

The high-ranked Telecom Services - Cable/Satellite firm's annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and leadership from other firms in the industry group is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,916 in Jun '11 to 2,273 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.  Its huge supply of 2.097 billion shares in the float could make it less likely to be a great sprinter, meanwhile, the S criteria calls for investors to usually look at small-cap or mid-cap companies.

Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.

G - Still holding its ground near its 50 DMA line ($15.15 now). That important short-term average has acted as support since damaging losses violated prior highs in the $16 area raising concerns while completely negating its prior technical breakout. Its Relative Strength (RS) rating has slumped to 70, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.

Volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line and recent low define important near-term chart support to watch.

Y - Still perched near its 52-week high but pulling back today. Recent low and 50 DMA line define important near-term chart support to watch. Churned heavy volume recently but encountered resistance near prior highs. A solid volume-driven gain above its pivot point is still needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong enough to still satisfy the C and A criteria, however decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through the Dec '12 quarter is a concern. Completed a new Public Offering on 12/06/12 and, technically, it broke out above previously stubborn resistance in $19 area with volume-driven gains in January.
