Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 conclude a volatile week with a 0.5% decline, and the Dow lost 0.8%. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.6% for the week. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 40 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 58 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE however new lows easily outnumbered new highs and on the Nasdaq exchange. Disciplined investors will watch for a follow-through between Day 4-7 which could signal a new uptrend for the major indices (M criteria). The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index met resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on Friday which marked Day 4 of the rally attempt.

Stocks finished lower Friday, as investors assessed the latest updates on the U.S. and China trade dispute. Investor sentiment was dampened after a report indicated the Trump Administration would delay waivers for U.S. Tech companies to supply components to Huawei. Adding to the downbeat mood were comments from President Trump suggesting planned trade negotiations in September with China could be cancelled. Perceived "safe-haven" assets modestly weakened, with COMEX gold off 0.1% to $1,496.60. Treasuries were lower along the curve, with the yield on the 10-year note up two basis points to 1.73%.

On the data front, the core Producer Price Index, which excludes volatile components food and gas, declined 0.1% month-over-month in July, less than the projected 0.1% advance. The 2.1% annualized core reading was the slowest in two years.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory. Technology stocks paced the decline as chipmakers underperform. Energy stocks also lagged despite WTI crude jumping 3.5% to $54.41/barrel. In earnings, shares of Uber (UBER -6.80%) fell after the ride sharing company posted a larger than anticipated quarterly loss. Activision Blizzard (ATVI -2.57%) fell despite the video game developer topping analyst projections on both the top and bottom line.

Consolidating Above 50-Day Average With Earnings News Soon
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Globant SA (GLOB +$0.08 or +0.07% to $107.35) found support at Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($102.76), but it has not formed a sound new base of sufficient length. Keep in mind it is due to report earnings news on 8/15/19. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

Bullish action came after it reported earnings +32% on +22% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31st, 2019 versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earning track record. GLOB was last shown in this FSU section on 7/11/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Any Sound Base After Wedging Higher". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/30/19 high plus 10 cents in the 2/15/19 mid-day report (read here). Prior quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods were very near or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history and has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating.

This Luxembourg-based Computer - Tech Services firm completed a Secondary Offering on 6/21/18. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 235 in Mar '18 to 484 in Jun '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B. Its small supply of 36.3 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
