Breadth Negative as Major Indices Faced a 3rd Day of Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 632 points, while the S&P 500 declined 2.8%, closing at its lowest level since early August. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 4.1%, and is down more than 10% from its record closing level notched last Wednesday. The reported volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin after contracting abruptly with only 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hitting new 52-week highs and listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the total on the prior session, down from 102 on Wednesday. New 52-week highs totals contracted and they were evenly matched with new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have seen their uptrend come under pressure (M criteria) over the past three sessions. Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it will be very important to soon see substantial improvement in the new highs totals.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered a 3rd consecutive volume-driven loss, slumping toward its 50-day moving average after its rally came shy of February's record high.
Stock finished lower for the third consecutive session on Tuesday, as last week’s sell-off in Technology shares deepened. Also, dampening sentiment were simmering tensions between the world’s two largest economies. President Trump suggested that the U.S. could “decouple” from China, pushing to end its economic reliance on Beijing, while also warning American companies against creating jobs overseas. Treasuries strengthened amid demand for perceived safe haven assets with the yield on the 10-year note falling four basis points to 0.68%.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in negative territory. Energy stocks underperformed as WTI crude dropped the most since April, with a decline of 7.2% to $36.90/barrel. Oil prices are being dragged lower on increasing worries surrounding demand prospects, as Saudi Arabia slashed its official price for October sales on Monday. Exxon Mobil (XOM -2.30%) fell after a Reuters report speculated on a possible dividend cut as the company faces a $48 billion shortfall through 2021.
Meanwhile, mega-cap shares remained under pressure, with Microsoft (MSFT -5.41%), Apple (AAPL -6.73%), and Amazon (AMZN -4.79%) each declining considerably. In other corporate news, Nikola (NKLA +40.97%) surged while General Motors (GM +7.93%) rallied after announcing a strategic partnership, with GM initiating a $2 billion stake in the electric vehicle maker. Elsewhere, Boeing (BA -5.83%) fell following reports that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was investigating manufacturing issues in the plane maker’s 787 Dreamliner. |

Homebuilder Halted Slide Near Prior Low and 50-Day Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
L G I Homes Inc (LGIH +$0.17 or +0.16% to $108.27) retreated from its 52-week high but halted its slide today near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($109.41). More damaging losses would raise greater concerns. Reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings +21% on +4% sales revenues, breaking a streak of 4 comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). LGIH traded up as much as +21.5% since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2/21/20 high plus 10 cents in the 7/07/20 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 8/20/20 under the headline, "Leadership in Building - Residential/Commercial Group Improving". It reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings +21% on +4% sales revenues versus the year ago period, breaking a streak of 3 consecutive quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. Fundamentals have still been strong enough for it to get a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, the highest possible rank. The Building - Residential / Commercial Group Relative Strength Rating is now A (66). In recent weeks there has been greater leadership (L criteria) noted in the industry group. It has a small supply (S criteria) of only 22.1 million shares in the public float (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 372 in Dec '19 to 387 in Jun '20, and its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 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 D. LGIH completed its IPO at $11 on 11/07/13. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

G - Volume was higher (near average) behind today's big loss while retreating from its all-time high. The 50 DMA line ($201) defines important near-term support to watch. Recently reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but better than expected while the company also raised its guidance.

Y - Pulled back today on +15% above average volume after a best-ever close on Tuesday. A new pivot point was cited based on its 7/13/20 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Found support near its 50 DMA line ($498) on consolidations during its ongoing ascent. Fundamentals remain strong. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
