Fundamental Concerns Raised - Earnings Below +25% Guideline - Monday, August 17, 2015

Jones Lang Lasalle Inc (JLL -$0.02 or -0.01% to $176.99) has been testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($173.59). Recent gains above the pivot point lacked the minimum +40% above average volume necessary to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. JLL last appeared in this FSU section on 7/22/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Recent Gains Lacked Volume Conviction; Earnings Report Soon Expected". Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, it has made limited headway since highlighted in yellow in the 2/03/15 mid-day report (read here) and noted - "Has the look of a valid Secondary Buy point up to +5% above prior highs."

Fundamental concerns were raised as it reported Jun '15 earnings +20% on +8% sales revenues below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Prior comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline.
 
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 513 in Mar '14 to 721 in Jun '15, and its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days - reassuring signs concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 44.4 million shares in the public float contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.


Recent Gains Lacked Volume Conviction; Earnings Report Soon Expected - Wednesday, July 22, 2015

Jones Lang Lasalle Inc (JLL +$0.53 or +0.31% to $173.75) has seen its volume totals cooling while consolidating near its all-time high and above support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($171.66). Recent gains above the pivot point lacked the minimum +40% above average volume necessary to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Keep in mind that it is due to report Jun '15 earnings on 7/29/15, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

It last appeared in this FSU section on 6/29/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Did Not Trigger a New Technical Buy Signal", slumping near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line while broader market weakness (M criteria) raised concerns. Prior lows ($166.68 on 6/09/15) define the next important near-term support to watch where violations would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, it has made limited headway since highlighted in yellow in the 2/03/15 mid-day report (read here) and noted - "Has the look of a valid Secondary Buy point up to +5% above prior highs."
 
Earnings rose +46%, 55%, +29%, and +147% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods, respectively, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 513 in Mar '14 to 720 in Jun '15, which is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, it has made limited headway since highlighted in yellow in the 2/03/15 mid-day report (read here) and noted - "Has the look of a valid Secondary Buy point up to +5% above prior highs."
