Breadth Positive as Indices Showed Resilience But Leadership Thinned

The Dow reversed a more than 200 point decline to finish 44 points higher. The S&P 500 rose 0.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite added 0.9% amid strength in Tech and Tech-related companies. The reported volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange.  Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were only 24 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 60 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals. The major indices confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria) with recent follow-through gains backed by higher volume and more leadership. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Indx has been churning higher volume while perched at its record high.

U.S. stocks finished higher during a choppy day of trading on Thursday, as investors continued to weigh vaccine optimism against the economic impact of new virus-related restrictions.  Vaccine optimism also persisted, with AstraZeneca (AZN +0.07%) noting its vaccine candidate showed a strong immune response in older adults during mid-stage trials.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory. The Energy and Information Technology groups paced the gains, while Utilities and Health Care lagged. Consumer Dictionary stocks also outperformed, with L Brands (LB +17.67%) up after its earnings and revenue figures came in well above consensus estimates, and Macy’s (M +2.11%) up after reporting a smaller-than-anticipated quarterly loss. In other earnings, Nvidia (NVDA +0.09%) was unchanged after the company lowered its current quarter revenue guidance for its data center chips following an earnings beat.

Economic data was also in focus, with initial jobless claims unexpectedly rising to 742,000 from the prior upwardly revised 711,000 figure in the latest week. Another update showed existing home sales posted a surprise 4.3% uptick in October, jumping to the highest level since 2005. Separately, the leading economic index for October came in-line with the prior month’s reading of 0.7%. Treasuries advanced, with the yield on the 10-year note down two basis points to 0.85%. In commodities, WTI crude rose 0.2% to $41.90/barrel, extending its weekly advance to more than 4%.

Rebounding Near High With 3rd Strong Quarterly Report

B J S Whlsl Club Hldgs (BJ +$1.55 or +3.60% to $44.55) finished strong and closed near the session high after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/26/20 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It has been consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($40.59) and today's 4th consecutive gain was marked by higher volume. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal.

Reported Oct '20 quarterly results +124% on +16% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), helping it better match with the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong. The high-ranked
Retail-DiscountandVariety firm completed its new IPO at $17 on 6/28/19. It has a new CEO as of 2/03/20

BJ has a fairly small supply of 137.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 533 in Dec '19 to 739 in Sep '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Suffered a volume-driven loss today testing support at its 50 DMA line ($21.74). More damaging losses would raise concerns. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/09/20 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. It has formed an advanced "ascending base" marked by 3 pullbacks of 10-20% after a big breakaway gap on 7/24/20. Subsequent gains above the pivot point marked by +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +57% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved after a downturn in FY '17. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Prior quarterly comparisons were near or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).
