US Stock Exchanges Week 21 and May 2021 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull made a determined charge and had a good day at the pasture on Monday. The Stock Market Bear attempted a rather half-hearted but nevertheless moderately successful day on Tuesday. The rest of the week The Stock Market Bull prevailed, not dramatically, more like a relaxed grazing time with The Stock Market Bear out of sight, who was more occupied with making plans for the 3 day Memorial Day weekend. The Stock Market Bull gets an easy 3-0 win for Week 21, but has to settle for a mixed 2-1 result for May.

The Stock Market Bull made a determined charge and had a good day at the pasture on Monday. The Stock Market Bear attempted a rather half-hearted but nevertheless moderately successful day on Tuesday. The rest of the week The Stock Market Bull prevailed, not dramatically, more like a relaxed grazing time with The Stock Market Bear out of sight, who was more occupied with making plans for the 3 day Memorial Day weekend. The Stock Market Bull gets an easy 3-0 win for Week 21, but has to settle for a mixed 2-1 result for May.

Week 21 News Summary:

Coronavirus Pandemic: As of today, Friday, 05/28/21, at 2:20PM Eastern US, the John Hopkins University CSSE unit says there are now 169,148,029 confirmed cases globally with 3,514,921 deaths, +80,728 from last week, which is -4,513 from the prior week. For the US it is 33,234,714 confirmed cases and 593,845 deaths, +4,710 from last week, which is +648 from the prior week. Over 50% of US adults are now fully vaccinated. Vaccines are readily available across the US for ages 12 and up. Many poorer countries continue to struggle to get vaccines and have higher infection rates. There is some talk about needing booster shots in the future to counter COVID-19 variants and some pharmaceuticals are gearing up development. The cause of the initial outbreak in China is once again making news, with the US and the World Health Organization talking about putting together a commission to determine the source.

US Federal Government: US President Joe Biden’s administration’s revised $1.7 billion infrastructure development plan has been met with a Republican counter proposal for $928 billion. President Biden has also offered up a proposed $6 trillion US budget for the 2022 fiscal year and which will most assuredly also meet resistance.

US Economy: The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago reports that the US National Activity Index for April is at +0.24, indicating moderate economic growth. New Family Home Sales for April dropped 5.9% from March to an annual rate of 863,000 homes. FreddieMac said the average 30 Year Fixed Mortgage Rate dropped to 2.95% with 0.7 points/fees. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller indicated that US Home Prices in March grew 13.2% from the previous year. The TrueCar forecast for May New Auto Sales is at 1,509,221 units, a 35.8% increase over the previous year. The Conference Board Preliminary May Consumer Confidence Index is at 117.2, a slight drop from April, and approaching pre-pandemic levels. US Weekly Initial Job Claims took a nice dip to 406,000 for the week ending 05/22/21. The 2nd estimate of the US Annual Real Gross Domestic Product for 1Q21 remained at +6.4%. The US April Personal Annual Income Rate is at $21.195 trillion, a drop of 13.1% from March, an effect caused by stimulus checks having been paid in March. The American Automobile Association says the average price for a gallon of regular gas on 05/28/21 is at $3.044, it was $1.972 on 05/29/20. The US Treasury says the US National Debt on 05/25/21 was at $28.188 trillion, it was $25.752 trillion on 05/31/20. On 05/28/21 the yield on a 10 Year US Treasury Note is at 1.58%, it was 0.65% on 05/29/20. On 05/28/21 it would cost $1.2195 to buy a Euro. The University of Michigan Final May Consumer Sentiment Index is at 82.9, April was at 88.3, May 2020 was at 72.3.

Corporate News: Cabot Oil & Gas(PBR956) and Cimarex Energy(PBR939) to merge in an all stock deal, will create a new company with an enterprise value of $17 billion. IAC(PBR698) completes spin-off of its Vimeo unit as an independent public company. Amazon(PBR2) to acquire MGM for $8.45 billion. Amazon(PBR2) announces Andy Jassy will become its CEO on 07/05/21, succeeds Jeff Bezos who becomes Executive Chairman.  Mondelez(PBR102) to acquire Greece-based Chipita for $2 billion. There were some initial public offerings during the week. Airlines are seeing increased passenger traffic, cruise lines announced some summer voyages departure dates, and theme parks are opening as the COVID-19 pandemic starts to subside and more relaxed rules are implemented.

Society: It was a relatively quiet week, which included the 1 year remembrance of the death of George Floyd on 05/25/20 by a Minneapolis policeman who has since been convicted.

International News: The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has held so far with more details being worked out. US President Biden and Russia President Putin have agreed to meet in Geneva, Switzerland, on 06/16/21 to discuss relations between the two countries. The Russian government continues to deny it has anything to do with cyberattacks on US organizations.

US Stock Exchanges Week 20 Summary:

Week 20 was almost a duplicate of Week 19. The Stock Market Bear came out strong again on the first 3 days. But The Stock Market Bull decided to show up at the pasture and took Thursday in a big way, especially the NASDAQ. Friday was a split with The Stock Market Bull taking only the DJIA. The Thursday win by a large margin on Thursday by The Stock Market Bull spoils The Stock Market Bear‘s effort to ace 2 weeks in a row. Week 20 was a lot less volatile than Week 19 and The Stock Market Bear has to settle for a 2-1 mixed result. Week 21 will be the last week for May and unless something dramatic happens, May will probably end with a mixed result as well.

Week 20 News Summary:

Coronavirus Pandemic: As of today, Friday, 05/21/21, at 2:21PM Eastern US, the John Hopkins University CSSE unit says there are now 165,713,514 confirmed cases globally with 3,434,193 deaths, +85,241 from last week, which is -2,728 from the prior week. For the US it is 33,079,478 confirmed cases and 589,135 deaths, +4,062 from last week, which is -207 from the prior week. Vaccines are readily available, there is really no excuse to not get vaccinated unless your personal beliefs are against such vaccinations. The CDC’s lowering recommendations for using masks has caused some confusion. India and Brazil cases and deaths rise again in the week.

US Federal Government: US President Joe Biden’s administration has lowered the proposed infrastructure development plan from $1.9 trillion to $1.7 trillion in an effort to get enough Republicans to accept the plan.

US Economy: The Federal Open Market Committee released the minutes of its late April meeting. Inflation, short term interest rates adjustments, and bond buying programs generated a lot more discussion than in previous sessions. The Federal Reserve also indicated that it will be making some comments about digital currencies in the next few months. Weekly initial jobless claims took another downward dip to 444,000, the lowest since the start of the pandemic, but above the around 250,000 before the pandemic. The housing starts annual rate indicated a disappointing drop, but permits issued were up. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index held steady in spite of increased costs for lumber and other materials. FreddieMac said the average 30 year fixed mortgage rate rose slightly to 3.0% with 0.6 points and fees. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia manufacturing survey was lower, but still well into positive territory, a similar result for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Conference Board leading economic index took a nice +1.6% jump in April. The National Association of Realtors said April existing home sales fell 2.7% from March to a 5.85 million annual rate.

Corporate Business: It is the tail end of 1Q21 corporate earnings reports and they were generally mixed. Share buyback programs are being reinstituted by several companies. IPOs continue to be popular and some were launched during the week. Ford debuts its all electric F-150 truck and announces a joint venture for 2 batteries factories. Mergers and acquisitions seemed to make a jump in the week as well, especially among tech companies.

Society: It was another quiet week, with much of the news still being on COVID-19 vaccination efforts and cautious optimism as the economy continues to reopen.

International News: A ceasefire was agreed to between Israel and Hamas, but details were still being worked out. As mentioned earlier, India, Brazil and some other countries continue to see a rise in COVID-19 cases.

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks April 2020 12 Month Report Card

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks April 2020 12 Month Report Card

Stocks PBR25 PBR1000 Report Card Subscribe

The April 2020 ThePBR25 became ThePBR24, gets an ‘A’ for its 12 Month Report Card.

By Larry C. Paxton

Welcome to The April 2020 The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks 12 Month Report Card.

As investors we count on professional stock analysts to provide comprehensive and diligent research to come up with their best take on how stocks will perform over the next 12 months. We then use that information to help us make stock buy, hold and sell decisions.

The PBR25 Premise

The premise of The PBR25 is that there is a high probability of success for stock investing when a large enough number professional stock analysts through their extensive research determine that a stock is a “Buy” and also forecasts a significant return over the next 12 months. PBRMarketTools assigns a Report Card grade based on how the stock analysts did.

Last 12 Months Influences

Since April 2020 a lot has happened that was not predicted and not part of analyst estimates at that time:

  • The COVID-19 Pandemic: It had become a reality, governments were trying to adjust, pharmaceuticals were developing and starting the testing process of potential vaccines. COVID-19 cases and deaths were accelerating. There were still a lot of unknowns, the future uncertain. Lockdowns were occurring, companies were closing or downsizing. Small businesses, especially restaurants and bars were trying to figure out what to do. Communications methods had changed dramatically with applications like Zoom being used by workers and family and friends. Toilet paper was still difficult to find. Amazon and other e-commerce businesses were ramping up their logistics capabilities. Jobs were still being lost. 12 months later much of the economy has recovered, COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for emergency use and are becoming plentiful. In most developed countries the cases and death rates are starting to drop, but is still a major issue in some countries like India and Brazil. The US has had 3 major rounds of stimulus checks for most people, but that has also increased national debt significantly. Economic policies are cautiously being implemented and monitored. Masking policies are starting to be lifted as more of the populations are vaccinated. There is a strong sense of optimism. The pandemic is no longer the headline news each day.
  • In May 2020 George Floyd, a black man, died a very visible death with his neck under the knee of a policeman. Other similar types of incidents occurred as well. The response was a lot of  civil unrest. The policeman was convicted of all charges by a jury in April 2021, but racial inequality concerns are still very present.
  • There was a very contentious 2020 US Presidential campaign that exacerbated how fractured the US is politically. New President Biden has been in office for a few months now, there seems to be a general sense of acceptance, and certainly the political environment has become a lot less volatile.

There is a lot more that can be said, but this is not meant to be an opinions post. It is a piece focused on the review of the recommendations stock analysts came up with at the end of March 2020 and the actual results 12 months later at the end of April 2021. PBRMarketTools is calling this a Report Card.

Creating The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks List for April 2020

The starting point is the prestigious The PBR1000, produced monthly by PBRMarketTools. To be included in The PBR1000 the 1,000 companies must meet the following criteria:

  • The companies must be publicly traded on the NYSE, NYSE American or NASDAQ stock exchanges, with a very few temporarily trading on the Over-The-Counter market because they are transitioning from bankruptcy.
  • They must be headquartered in the US or have primary operations in the US.
  • They must have generated at least $1 billion in revenues in their most recent full fiscal year.
  • They must file an annual 10-K form with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in US dollars
  • Each of the 1,000 companies is given a primary ranking based on revenues, with the company having the highest revenue amount ranked 1(currently Walmart). There are 27 secondary rankings in The PBR1000 based on other criteria as well.

Each month the 12 month estimates and recommendations by stock analysts are updated on The PBR1000The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks list for April 2020 was then created using the following process:

  • At any point in time The PBR1000 has around 15,000 stock analyst recommendations.
  • The PBR1000 was sorted by stock analyst recommendations.
  • Those stocks rated a “Buy” were then further sorted by the number of “Buy” recommendations.
  • For April 2020 a cut off of at least 12 “Buy” recommendations was then sorted by each stock’s weighted average, with a Buy being worth 5 points, Overweight 4 points, Hold 3 points, Underweight 2 points and Sell 1 point. The maximum weighted average is 5.00. For a stock to achieve a “Buy” recommendation its weighted average must be greater than 4.50.
  • The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks list was finalized by doing a descending sort by the weighted averages.

Characteristics of The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks for April 2020

  • The PBR25 data for April 2020 is from May 1, 2020
  • Revenue rankings were from 2(Amazon) to 897(Parsley Energy, which was acquired in January, 2021. Magellan Midstream Partners was the next lowest, ranked at 778.)

  • 16 companies traded on the NYSE and 8 companies on NASDAQ

  • 12 month targeted stock prices ranged from $16.96 to $2,651.00. The total for all 24  stocks used was $7,083.07
  • The total average forecasted 12 month change was +$985.61, for a percent change of +16.16%

Actual Results for The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks for March 2021

  • The 12 months of data are from Friday, May 1, 2020, and Friday, April 30, 2021.
  • One energy related company, Parsley Energy, was acquired in January, 2021. This analysis is based on the 24 remaining companies.

  • 16 companies exceeded the forecasted 12 month average change, 8 companies did not
  • 23 companies had a positive gain, only 1 company had a loss.
  • 3 of the 8 companies that did not meet the forecast were energy related
  • The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks achieved a +50.18% gain over the 12 months which compares favorably against the 3 major US stock indices which had the following results: DJIA +42.79%, NASDAQ +62.26%, S&P500 +47.71%.

Conclusions, Observations, Validations and Realities

  • If you had bought 1 share each of The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks at the closing price on May 1, 2020, you would have achieved a +50.18% gain at the close on April 30, 2021, over three times the estimate and  an excellent return. For this reason, The April 2020 The PBR25 gets an ‘A’ on its 12 month Report Card.
  • The stock analysts +33.72% median result was above the forecasted +16.16% 12 month target, but there was a very wide fluctuation on both sides of the median
  • It is difficult to forecast out 12 months with any great accuracy, there are just too many variables and uncertainties, but it can be useful and helpful in providing some guidance
  • It does demonstrate that The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks is a valid methodology and process for that particular month.
  • Our demonstration account, called The Charlie Fund, uses the popular “Buy & Hold with Consistent Monthly Investment Strategy” with the monthly The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks as the primary research tool. It achieved a +46.62% return in 2020, a further validation of the methodology.
  • There are no guarantees! The reality is that there will always be ups and downs in the stock market and people make stocks buy, hold and sell decisions based on a wide range logical and emotional criteria, input from knowledgeable hard-working experts and well meaning friends, and if the sky is blue today. But the historical data is pretty convincing that stocks will trend up at an above average investment rate over the long haul.

  • The details of this summary, including company names and the over 200 fields of information for each company, were extracted from the updated The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks MS-Excel worksheet for March 2020, and has been distributed to The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks Subscribers for their personal use and further research

US Stock Exchanges Week 19 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull decided to start Week 19 by taking some time off to smell the spring flowers. The Stock Market Bear took advantage over the first 3 days and not only pummeled the NASDAQ as he had done in weeks past, but also the DJIA and S&P500. When The Stock Market Bull looked up and saw the damage he butted The Stock Market Bear over the fence and took control of the pasture in a strong way on Thursday and Friday on all 3 indices. Unfortunately it was a day too late. The Stock Market Bear gets Week 19 with a 3-0 sweep. Will the volatility continue in Week 20?

Week 19 News Summary:

Coronavirus Pandemic: As of today, Friday, 05/14/21, at 1:21PM Eastern US, the John Hopkins University CSSE unit says there are now 161,381,569 confirmed cases globally with 3,348,952 deaths, +87,969 from last week, which is -1,729 from the prior week. For the US it is 32,883,624 confirmed cases and 585,073 deaths, +4,281 from last week, which is -720 from the prior week. Vaccines supplies are plentiful through most state government programs and most pharmacies. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines were granted additional Emergency Use Authorizations by the US FDA for ages 12 and up. The CDC has released new guidelines saying people who have been fully vaccinated do not have to wear masks outside in most situations. Countries like India and Brazil continue to struggle with high infection and death rates.

US Federal Government: US President Joe Biden met with some Republicans to discuss his infrastructure development proposals and expressed a willingness to negotiate.

US Economy: The US Consumer Price Index jumped up 0.8% in April, much higher than forecast, and generated a lot of buzz about inflation concerns, which the Federal Reserve has downplayed, which has targeted 2% annual growth as a target. Weekly initial job claims fell to its lowest since the start of the pandemic. Job openings increased to 8.1 million. Wages remain around the same. Some sectors, primarily hospitality and retail, are struggling to find employees, most saying it is because unemployment benefits are still better than what the employers can offer. In response some states are talking about eliminating unemployment benefits. The US deficit widens to a record $1.9 trillion over the first 7 months of the fiscal year. Retail sales were unexpectedly flat in April, a significant increase had been forecast. Industrial output increased in April. US import prices increased. Mortgage rates remain near record lows. There was a ransomware cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline, a midstream energy company with 5,500 miles of pipelines that is the primary support for fuel supplies in the Northeast US. By the end of the week services were restored, the attackers have been identified, and once again demonstrated vulnerabilities in the US. Cryptocurrencies continue to grab headline news and draw a variety of reactions from banks, investors, corporations, and influential individuals.

Corporate Business: More 1Q21 corporate earnings reports came in with mixed results. Technology related companies continue to dominate much of the news. The shortage of semiconductor chips continues to be an issue for car and electronic goods manufacturers with some forecasts showing that the problem could last for a couple of years.

Society: It was a quiet week, with much of the news still being on COVID-19 vaccination efforts and cautious optimism as the economy continues to reopen.

International News: India, Brazil and some other countries continue to see a rise in COVID-19 cases. Hamas in the Palestinian areas continues to launch rockets into Israel and Israel is responding with its own rockets targeted at military targets but which are also inflicting civilian casualties.

US Stock Exchanges Week 18 Summary:

The DJIA was all about The Stock Market Bull who took all 5 days, the last 3 days being new record highs. The S&P500 was a little more difficult because The Stock Market Bear took Tuesday, but The Stock Market Bull butted The Stock Market Bear aside Wednesday through Friday and posted a new record high on Friday. But The Stock Market Bear did take command of the NASDAQ Monday through Wednesday and inflicted some major losses. The Stock Market Bull took Thursday and Friday, but it was not enough. The Stock Market Bull takes Week 18 in a 2-1 mixed win. Will The Stock Market Bull‘s clean sweeps of Thursday and Friday carry over into Week 19?

Week 18 News Summary:

Coronavirus Pandemic: As of today, Friday, 05/07/21, at 2:20PM Eastern US, the John Hopkins University CSSE unit says there are now 156,326,016 confirmed cases globally with 3,260,983 deaths, +89,698 from last week, which is +1,188 from the week before that. For the US it is 32,643,635 confirmed cases and 580,804 deaths, +4,989 from last week, which is +353 from the week before that. Vaccinations are now available just about everywhere in the US through state and county governments and most pharmacies now. US President Joe Biden says he is aiming for 70% of all US adults to have at least one vaccination by July 4th. Emergency Use Authorizations by the US FDA are expected soon for people 16 and under. Cases and death rates continue to be high in countries like India and Brazil.

US Federal Government: US President Joe Biden continues to push for his $4 trillion in spending for infrastructure and other projects. US Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell is pledging to battle against the plan because he feels it is too expensive.

US Economy: Manufacturing continues to grow and surveys indicate that trend should continue short term. Construction spending is also up. Weekly Initial Jobless Claims fell below 500,000, the lowest since the pandemic started. However, the Friday April Jobs Report fell far short of forecast. The Unemployment Rate rose slightly to 6.1%. Consumer Credit had a large increase for the second month in a row. While the Federal Reserve is saying it is not too concerned about inflation and has some tools to deal with it if it becomes an issue, there are others who seem increasingly alarmed by some signals that indicate near term inflation could become a problem.

Corporate Business: 1Q21 corporate earnings reports were somewhat mixed. Technology companies seem to be struggling to maintain momentum. Travel and hospitality services are still struggling and are concerned about hiring problems as the economy opens up post-pandemic.

Society: It was a quieter week. The biggest issues continue to be concerns about people not willing to get vaccines for one reason or another. Also, some state legislatures are passing laws about voting. Opponents view the legislation as restricting voting, proponents say it is protecting the ballot box from being abused.

International News: India, Brazil and some other countries continue to see a rise in COVID-19 cases.

US Stock Exchanges Week 17 and April 2021 Summary

The Stock Market Bull started out a promising Week 17 on Monday by establishing new record highs for the NASDAQ and S&P500. The Stock Market Bear returned on Tuesday to take a nibble out of those marks and then Wednesday took out a good-sized chunk. This infuriated The Stock Market Bull who trampled the Bear on Thursday, established another new record for the S&P500 and appeared to have a lock to win the week. But The Stock Market Bear roared back on Friday, wiped out all the Bull‘s gains for the week except for the S&P500 where he fell shy just 1.01 points. In a back and forth week The Stock Market Bear prevails with a 2-1 mixed result for Week 17, but The Stock Market Bull easily captures the month of April with a 3-0 result.
