Testing 50-Day Moving Average Line After Wedging to New High - Friday, July 19, 2024

Celestica (CLS +$0.18 or +0.32% to $56.50) halted its slide today following 2 consecutive volume-driven losses testing its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after quietly touching a new all-time high. It has been repeatedly noted - "A gain backed by at least +40% above average volume and a close above the new pivot point cited based on its 5/28/24 high plus 10 cents may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Important support is at its 50 DMA line ($54.60)."

CLS was highlighted in yellow in the 5/15/24 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/24 high plus 10 cents after a 6-week flat base. It was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 6/27/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above Prior Highs in an Orderly Fashion".

CLS hails from the high ranked Elec-Contract Mfg group which is now ranked 25th on the 197 Industry Groups List (L criteria). CLS recently reported earnings +83% on +20% sales revenues for the Mar '24 quarter versus the year ago period, and 7 of the last 8 quarterly comparisons were at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since bottoming in FY '19. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. 

There are only 119 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 322 in Jun '23 to 566 in Jun '24, 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.

Strong Breakout After 6-Week Flat Base - Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Celestica (CLS +$4.06 or +8.46% to $52.06) finished strong today after highlighted in yellow in the mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/24 high plus 10 cents after a 6-week flat base. It gapped up hitting a new 52-week high (N criteria), adding to volume-driven gains after rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by +133% above average volume clinched a proper technical buy signal.

It hails from the high ranked Elec-Contract Mfg group which is now ranked 38th on the 197 Industry Groups List (L criteria). CLS recently reported earnings +83% on +20% sales revenues for the Mar '24 quarter versus the year ago period, and 7 of the last 8 quarterly comparisons were at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since bottoming in FY '19. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. 

There are only 119 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 322 in Jun '23 to 484 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
