5-Year High In Bull Markets Amid Deteriorating Fundamentals

Jason Goepfert
2020-01-16
More than 85% of S&P 500 stocks are above their 200-day averages. There is a high and rising number of stocks with declining operating earnings.

5-year high in bull markets

More than 85% of stocks in the S&P 500 have managed to close above their 200-day moving averages, the most in five years. This ends the longest such streak in 30 years.

When stocks are coming out of a prolonged downtrend, this is an excellent buy signal. When it triggers with stocks at or near new highs, it’s more of an exhaustion signal in the medium-term, but still a good sign long-term.


Deteriorating fundamentals

We saw last week that there is a 15-year high in stocks with negative earnings, both established companies and new issues. And many of those are also seeing deteriorating fundamentals, with operating earnings lower than four quarters ago.

This is true among all stocks traded on the NYSE, as well as individual indexes, like the big-cap tech-dominated Nasdaq 100.

Nasdaq 100 stocks with declining earnings

There isn’t anything about this to suggest it’s an imminent warning. It’s another one of those “hmmm” developments that makes the overall environment seem riskier than buyers are acknowledging.

We also looked at:

  • A lot of Nasdaq 100 stocks have hit 52-week highs, and also overbought conditions
  • Almost all Fidelity select portfolio managers are beating the return on cash

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
