Wesco International Inc (WCC -$5.92 or -3.44% to $166.34) pulled back today with average volume yet remains only -4.9% off its all-time high, extended from the previously noted base. Prior highs in the $144-147 area define initial support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($148.69).

Its Earnings Per Share Rating is 97, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates. The Electronic - Parts firm was highlighted in yellow in the 2/10/23 mid-day report (read here) while consolidating after recent volume-driven gains triggered a technical buy signal, a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying demand which could lead to a meaningful price advance. It was last shown in this FSU section on 2/21/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Powered Higher After Recently Highlighted in Feb 10th Report".

There is a small supply of only 50.7 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 489 in Jun '21 to 621 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication of slightly distributional action over the past 50 days.
