Stocks in buy zones

Wendy’s stock had a significant bullish reversal on Friday, jumping 6% to 23.08 after hitting an intraday low of 21.36. WEN stock recovered the 50-day line, moved above the 21-day line, and broke above the trend line. This provided an early entry into the new flat base. The official point of purchase is 23.88, according to MarketSmith Analysis.

On Friday, Wendy’s reported its fourth consecutive quarter of accelerated sales growth, doubled its dividend and announced a $500 million buyback.

XOM stock rose 2.4% to 113.16 last week, its fifth consecutive weekly gain. The shares are just below the official buy point of 114.76, and won’t appear to be extending from the 50-day line with this move. But investors can already get into Exxon shares.

PWR stock jumped 6.7% to 148.50 last week, bouncing back above the 50-day line, providing early entry. The shares also regained an earlier buy point of 144.41 that is no longer valid.

On Wednesday, CELH stock emerged above the 50-day line and the 21-day line, breaking through a downtrend, providing multiple reasons for early entry. Stocks held support at 21 days, then rose on Friday. The percentage stock is now actionable after gaining 13.2% for the week.

Insulet stock is up 4.65% in the past week to 305.89, bouncing off the 21-day and 50-day lines. Stocks are now executable. But investors can wait for the trend line break, which is currently just above Friday’s high of 309.44.

Tesla’s stock drop slides into cars?

Tesla stock rose 8.3% to 122.40 last week, continuing its rebound from the January 6th bear market low of 101.81. Shares fell 0.9% on Friday, off the day’s lows though Tesla announces significant price cuts in the United States and Europe. This came a week after Tesla cut prices in China and major Asian markets.

The price cuts should boost sales, especially in the US, with more Tesla EV variants eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. This means a significant price cut for American consumers. But Tesla’s precious margins are likely to be affected.

On Tuesday, investors will get weekly electric vehicle registrations in China, which should show a significant jump in Tesla sales, as well as any potential impact on competitors. But will Tesla enjoy a lasting boost, especially in China and Europe? Orders are significantly behind deliveries in late 2022, so Tesla needs a significant increase in new order just to maintain its current pace of deliveries in 2023.

Already fierce competition will intensify in China in 2023, and Tesla’s price cuts could trigger a wave of margin-killing cuts. Europe is also increasingly crowded. Even the electric car market in the US will be more competitive in a year’s time, as the slump in used-car prices is already a major drag on new-car prices.

But sales of Tesla electric cars aside, TSLA stock has a bigger problem. Investors increasingly view the electric car giant as an automaker rather than a technology company. Tesla’s current price-earnings ratio of 33 isn’t too high for a technology growth company. But it’s unusually high for an automaker. The auto industry’s advantages and margins tend to erode relatively quickly, which might be happening to Tesla right now.

TSLA stock may deserve a higher valuation auto, reflecting the sales growth and sales growth of the EV giant. But even then, that would indicate a much lower valuation than he had been boasting about until recently.

general motors (GM), stronghold (F) and father of Chrysler and Fiat stellants (STLA) all contain PE ratios in single digits. Toyota (TM) in 10.

Market rally analysis

The stock market had an encouraging week, building on strong gains on January 6th. Major indices rose strongly, and regained key levels. A large number of blue-chip stocks flashed buy signals during the week, and most of them were holding or extending gains.

The S&P 500 moved above its 50-day moving average and climbed to the 200-day line. The benchmark hit resistance at this key level on Thursday and Friday, but eventually passed it hard.

The Dow Jones, Russell 2000 and S&P MidCap 400 are above all of their moving averages and approaching short-term highs in December.

The NASDAQ recovered its 50-day moving average and moved above 11,000. The laggard was near bear market lows at the start of the year.

On Friday, stocks opened strongly lower, as earnings initially hurt airlines, health insurers and bank stocks, Tesla price cuts weakened auto stocks and an analyst downgrade hurt big defense contractors.

Even without the negative headlines, it could be argued that the market was about to pull back after the strong gains and with the S&P 500 at the 200-day line.

However, the market rebounded quickly and closed higher.

Industries, the broad housing sector, many pharmaceuticals as well as some retailers and restaurants are showing strength.

Tech names are still rare among blue-chip stocks, though they’re making a comeback. The chip ETF SMH cleared the 200-day line last week, while the IGV ETF and ARKK are above the 50-day average.

The S&P 500 still needs to decisively clear the 200-day line. December gains loom for all major indices.

While the stock market seems less worried about the Fed, with a path toward a halt in rate hikes, earnings season will take center stage.

What are you doing now

Investors can make new purchases as stocks continue to improve. But do it gradually. While the market rally has shown strength and resilience in recent days, the decline will not be surprising for major indices, major sectors or individual stocks.

Earnings season will ramp up over the next few weeks, creating the potential for significant volatility. Exxon and Tesla stocks will report within the next three weeks, along with the tech giants an Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon.com (AMZN) and the parent of Google the alphabet (The Google).

So don’t focus too much on a particular sector, even if it’s doing well. We strive to have a variety of leading stocks.

Collect your watchlists. Look for stocks that are executable, established, or potentially executable if they pause or decline. Broad power, at least outside of technology, should provide a number of opportunities.
