US All-Time Highs (>$10) - Jul/16/2010

54 US stocks made new all-time highs last week, up from 31 the week before. About 2/3 of these stocks in the Basic Materials and Services sectors. The US markets dropped like a stone on Friday, erasing the gains for the week and finishing with a weekly loss instead (QQQQ held up the best, IWM the worst and there were no stocks between $2 and $10 that made new all-time highs). The table below is a compilation of data about the companies. I made some changes to what I include in the table so it follows something like a CANSLIM approach so you can quickly scan the earnings growth, market cap, and institutional support. Since these are near all-time highs it goes without saying that these are leading stocks (the L in CANSLIM). The Piotroski score is included since this is a quick way to identify potentially solid companies; dividend and payout ratio give an indication of whether there is a chance the company will cut the dividend; and finally, the target price (based on analysts summarized by Finviz) is included and shaded green if it is 10% higher than the current price. I've tried to change the font colors to identify good/bad signs, but the criteria are somewhat arbitrary (e.g., EPS growth above 25% are green). Anyway, I find it useful to flip back and forth between the table and the charts to get a fuller picture in my mind of each stock's characteristics and potential.
