Major Averages Ended Mixed While Walmart Rallied
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow rose 239 points, trimming an earlier advance of as much as 368 points. The S&P 500 gained 0.2% while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.2% amid weakness in tech shares. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE while decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 45 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 48 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, so the recent improvement in leadership was a reassuring sign.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a 3rd consecutive gain with lighter volume and closed just below its downward sloping 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. equities closed mixed after being whipsawed in volatile trading Tuesday as investors digested earnings from U.S. retailers and downbeat economic data. Walmart Inc. (WMT +5.11%) gapped up rebounding above its 200 DMA line in its best session since 2020 as its profit, revenue, and comparable store sales all exceeded analyst estimates. Additionally, the big-box retailer slightly increased its full-year guidance after cutting its outlook just three weeks ago due to inflation inciting a shift in consumer behavior. Meanwhile, home improvement company Home Depot Inc. (HD +4.06%) rose after posting better-than-expected results and maintaining its full-year guidance despite a housing market slowdown.
Another round of disappointing data dampened investor sentiment. Housing starts in July fell a worse-than-expected 9.6% from June to mark its worst reading since February 2021. Building permits declined 1.3% in the same period, its slowest pace since September 2021. Separately, industrial production increased a stronger-than-forecasted 0.6% in July, rising for the first time in three months.
Treasuries weakened with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point (0.01%) to 2.81%. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 3.3% to $86.45/barrel, its lowest point since mid-February. Downbeat economic data and uncertainty surrounding the revival of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal weighed on oil prices. Tomorrow, an update on retail sales for the month of July could provide insight into several macroeconomic trends. Also, investors will assess the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) meeting minutes from July for clues surrounding the future path of rate hikes. |

Stalled After Breakout But Still Quietly Hovering Near High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Quanta Services Inc (PWR -$0.54 or -0.38% to $142.43) has seen volume totals below average while recently wedging back above its pivot point since encountering some distributional pressure. Confirming volume-driven gains for new highs would be a reassuring sign of serious institutional buying demand that could lead to a sustained and meaningful advance. Fundamentals remain strong.
PWR was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/20/22 high plus 10 cents in the 7/28/22 mid-day report (read here) and shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven Breakout for Quanta Services". Since then, however, it stalled and has not made any headway.
It has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. Jun '22 quarterly earnings rose +45% on +41% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.
The company hails from the Building - Heavy Construction industry group which is currently ranked 71st on the 197 Industry Groups list with a Group Relative Strength Rating of B. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,202 in Sep '21 to 1,482 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has 143.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria). |

Y - Pulled back today with near average volume. Recently finding support near its 50 DMA line ($50.40) and prior low ($48.85). More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. Challenged its all-time high but met stubborn resistance in the $57 area after reporting Jun '22 quarterly earnings +54% on +45% sales revenues versus the year ago period.

Y - Encountered distributional pressure as there was a "negative reversal" today with +112% above average volume after hitting a new all-time high. It closed near the session low. Wedged above resistance in the $39 area with gains lacking volume conviction. Confirming gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may help clinch a proper technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($35.51) defines important near-term support.
