Breadth Negative as Major Indices Were Mixed Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow and S&P 500 fell for a second consecutive day, losing 222 points and 0.3%, respectively. The Nasdaq Composite bucked the downtrend, rising 0.6%. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and near a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 10 on the prior session. For the second consecutive session new 52-week lows totals outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts may be justified in leading stocks on a case-by-case basis.  PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has recently slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Stocks finished mixed on Tuesday, as investors digested a flurry of corporate updates and assessed economic data. Concerns surrounding a resurgence in coronavirus cases weighed on investor sentiment, with the U.S. reporting the highest seven-day average of new cases since the pandemic began.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory, with Industrials lagging. Caterpillar (CAT -3.24%) fell after offering little guidance following an earnings beat. Raytheon Technologies (RTX -7.04%) fell after mixed third-quarter figures showed sales from its missiles and intelligence unit were lower than projected. Meanwhile, M&A news provided a tailwind to the Consumer Discretionary and Tech sectors. Chipmaker Xilinx (XLNX +8.56%) rose after Advance Micro Devices (AMD -4.07%) said it would acquire the rival in a $35 billion all-stock deal. Tiffany & Co (TIF +4.93%) rose as an analyst survey raised the likelihood of the jeweler being acquired by French luxury brand LVMH Moet Hennessy (LVMHY -1.33%) to 90%.
On the data front, the Conference Board’s gauge of consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in October. A preliminary reading showed durable goods orders jumped 1.9% in September, well above estimates of a 0.5% uptick. Meanwhile, a release from S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller showed home prices in 20 of the largest U.S. cities rose 5.2% year-over-year in August, the fastest pace in two years. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down three basis points to 0.77%. In commodities, WTI crude added 2.3% to $39.46/barrel as investors eye another tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico. |

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.57%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.75%) both lost ground while the Gold &Silver Index ($XAU +1.85%) notched a gain.

Earnings Due; Consolidating Near Prior High and Above 50 DMA Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Charles River Labs Intl (CRL -$0.92 or -0.40% to $229.26) is consolidating above prior highs and above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($224) which define near-term support to watch. Any subsequent violations would raise concerns and may trigger technical sell signals. Keep in mind it is due to to report Sep '20 quarterly results on 10/29/20. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.
Fundamental concerns were raised when it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but the results were better than expected and the company also raised its guidance. It now has a 91 Earnings Per Share Rating, down from 96 prior to the report. The 2 prior quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.
CRL traded up as much as +29.9% since it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/03/20 high plus 10 cents in the 7/15/20 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/09/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "New Record High for Charles River Labs".
It hails from the Medical - Research Equipment/Services industry group which has an 66 Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 681 in Dec '19 to 775 in Sep '20, and its Up/Down Volume Ratio is 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. There is a small number of only 49.7 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

G - Pulled back with heavy volume today after it reported earnings +128% on +56% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period and announced it will acquire Xilinx Inc (XLNX). Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Slumped below its 50 DMA line ($82). Any subsequent deterioration below the recent lows ($73.85 on 9/18/20) would raise greater concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. Faces some near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $94 level.

Y - Volume totals have been below average while pulling back after challenging its all-time high last week. A subsequent gain above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +53% on +41% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Sequential comparisons show encouraging acceleration in its sales revenues growth rate. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.

Found support at its 50 DMA line ($480) but did not form a new base of sufficient length. Fundamentals remain strong. Any losses below the 50 DMA line and prior low ($432.85 on 9/08/20) would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
