Leadership Thinned as Major Indices Remained Near Records
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow ticked down less than a point, while the S&P 500 gained less than 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite lost 0.3%. Decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 38 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 98 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a "confirmed uptrend" after enduring distributional pressure in recent weeks. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

U.S. equities finished mixed Wednesday, as investors digested corporate earnings releases and developments on the trade front. Optimism faded around “phase one” of a U.S.-China trade deal after reports indicated the agreement is not likely to be signed until December as the two sides finalize terms and meeting location.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in positive territory. The Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors paced gains, while Energy shares declined more than 2.0% in sympathy with a retreat in oil prices. In earnings, CVS Health (CVS +5.36%) rose following its top and bottom line beat that was fueled by solid results in its pharmacy benefit management division. Humana (HUM +3.46%) rose after the insurer’s profit and revenue figures topped analyst estimates. Coty (COTY +13.61%) rose after the cosmetics maker bested analyst profit projections. In M&A news, HP Inc. (HPQ +6.36%) jumped on news the personal computer maker may be acquired by Xerox (XRX +3.55%).

In commodities, WTI crude declined 1.2% to $56.55/barrel after gaining in the prior three trading sessions after data showed a build in U.S. inventories. COMEX gold advanced 0.6% to $1,492.00/ounce.

On the data front, MBA mortgage applications slipped 0.1% last week, after increasing 0.6% in the prior period. A separate update showed productivity in the U.S. unexpectedly fell in the third quarter, marking the first decline in four years. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year falling three basis points to 1.82%.

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

Copart Inc (CPRT $81.86 -$0.39 -0.47%) is consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($81.07) which defines near-term support and its color code was changed to yellow while sputtering below its "max buy" level again.

CPRT wedged to new all-time highs with gains lacking great volume conviction after last shown in this FSU session on 10/22/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Reversed Into Red Today After Hitting New All-Time High". A volume-driven gain above the pivot point on 9/05/19 clinched a technical buy signal when CPRT was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/26/19 high plus 10 cents (read here).

Bullish action came after it reported earnings +43% on +21% sales revenues for the Jul '19 quarter. Three of the past 4 quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) and its sales revenues growth rate has accelerated. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady since a downturn in FY '13.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,120 in Sep '18 to 1,339 in Sep '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B.
