Rally Fails as Major Indices Undercut Their Day 1 Lows

Stocks finished firmly lower Tuesday. The Dow fell 551 points to 24,465, while the S&P 500 declined 48 points to 2,641. The Nasdaq Composite lost 119 points to a seven month low of 6,908. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by 5-1 on the NYSE and 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the 21 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, the last rally failed and the major indices (M criteria) are again in a correction. ThFeatured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leadersStrict buying and selling rules should always be followed on a case by case basis.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is sputtering below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line again, and losses undercut the Day 1 lows, technically ending the latest confirmed rally. 

U.S. equities sold-off amid further weakness in Technology stocks and disappointing retail earnings. The decline has put the Dow and S&P 500 trading in negative territory for the year, while all five members of the oft cited “FAANG” group dipped into “bear-market” range following Monday’s retreat.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended lower. Energy shares fell the most as WTI crude retreated -6.6% to $53.43/barrel, the lowest level in more than a year. Apple (AAPL -4.78%) paced the selling in Tech, with shares down after the iPhone maker was the subject of another notable Wall Street downgrade Tuesday. In earnings, Target (TGT -11.26%) and Lowe’s (LOW -5.66%) fell after each retailer missed analyst same-store sales projections. L Brands (LB -17.71%) after unexpectedly cutting its dividend. Meanwhile, Campbell Soup (CPB +5.46%) bucked the downward trend, rising 5.5% to $40.55 after beating consensus sales and profit projections.

Treasuries were little changed with the yield on the 10-year note essentially unchanged at 3.05%. On the data front, housing starts rebounded 1.5% in October after falling 5.3% in the previous month.

Abruptly Slumped Near 200 Day Moving Average Line

Healthequity Inc (HQY -$0.14 or -0.18% to $76.25) finished near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line ($76.81) after violating the prior low ($80.56 on 10/24/18) on the prior session triggering a technical sell signal. A rebound above the 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($89.59) is needed for its outlook to improve.

HQY wedged to a new high but stalled after last shown in this FSU section on 11/01/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rebound Above 50-Day Average Helped Outlook Improve". It reported earnings +62% on +25% sales revenues for the Jul '18 quarter versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earnings track record. Fundamentals remain strong, as the past 7 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and underpinned by strong sales revenues increases.

It has managed a bumpy climb that may have shaken out many investors since triggering a technical buy signal with a gain above the new pivot point with +90% above average volume when highlighted in the 2/20/18 mid-day report (read here).

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 369 in Dec '16 to 546 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a fairly small supply of only 62.3 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It currently has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B.

The Commercial Services - Outsourcing industry group currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 52, however there are other strong leaders in the group hitting new highs, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. It completed its $14 IPO on 7/31/14 followed by an additional Public Offering on 5/05/15 and Secondary Offerings on both 10/20/16 and 9/23/15.
