Major Indices Rose With Greater Volume and More Leadership

The Dow gained 459 points, while the S&P 500 rose 1.6%. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.2% to another record high. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange as traders returned from the long weekend celebrating Independence Day . There were 90 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 79 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see substantial new highs totals.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index hit a new record high with a 4th consecutive gain and the tech-heavy index is +16.3% year-to-date.

Stocks finished firmly higher on Monday as data reports continued to support expectations for a strong economic recovery despite a recent uptick in COVID-19 cases in several pockets of the United States. Bullish sentiment from Beijing overnight also lifted the mood, with China’s Shanghai Composite notching its best single-session surge since 2015 after a state-owned newspaper published an editorial highlighting the importance of fostering a “healthy” bull market.

On the data front, a report from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) showed the U.S. services sector rebounded into expansionary territory last month to its best level since February. Treasuries weakened slightly, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point to 0.68%.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Utilities the sole laggard. Consumer Discretionary shares paced gains, with Amazon (AMZN +5.77%) surpassing the $3,000 mark for the first time. Tech and related names also outperformed. Square (SQ +4.92%) ended near the session low after hitting a new all-time high while extending a recent rally driven by more consumers utilizing the electronic payment company’s tools from home. Elsewhere, Tesla (TSLA +13.48%) jumped on the heels of an analyst price target increase. In M&A news, Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB +2.18%) class B shares were up after the conglomerate agreed to acquire Dominion Energy’s (D -11.00%) natural gas pipeline and storage asserts in a deal worth nearly $10 billion. Meanwhile, Uber Technologies (UBER +6.00%) rose after announcing a $2.65 billion all-stock deal to buy food-delivery service Postmates.

Quietly Perched Near All-Time High After Forming a New Base

Trex Company Inc (TREX -$0.13 or -0.10% to $126.75) ended slightly lower today with a small loss on light volume.  It has been challenging its all-time high. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Important near-term support is at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($116.58).

A new pivot point was recently cited based on its 5/26/20 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in this FSU section on 6/11/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pullback Toward Prior Highs Which Define Near-Term Support".

Fundamentals remain strong. It has earned the highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. TREX reported earnings +35% on +12% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong. The company hails from the General Building Materials industry group which currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of B+.

The company has a new CEO as of 4/29/20. It has a small supply (S criteria) of only 57.9 million shares outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 540 in Jun '19 to 668 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C.
