Stocks are pointing to a slightly lower opening on February 19, but nothing severe.  Resistance for the S&P 500 comes in a zone of 2,795 to 2,800.

Lululemon (LULU)

Nomura downgraded Lululemon to hold from buy and raised its price target to $157. It seems clear at this point the trend in Lulu has shifted, with an RSI that is now trending lower, and a stock that is nearing a potential breakdown should it fall below $145.

McDonald’s (MCD)

McDonald’s was upgraded at Stephens to overweight from equal weight, while the price target was raised to $200 from $180. Unfortunately, I have never understood the love affair with this stock. It is a company that has shrinking revenue, while it grows its EPS from cost reduction and buy-backs.

Anyway, if you have read me long enough, you know that I am bearish on McDonald’s. However, I have been wrong for sometime, as the stock never breaks below the $155 level.

There appears to be a double forming in the stock, and a break below $170 confirms that double top. The RSI continues to point to a stock that is heading lower over time, not higher. Sorry, Stephens.

Walmart (WMT)

Walmart’s US comp sales +4.2% vs. estimates of 3.2% and beats on both the top and bottom lines, while reaffirming its fiscal year 2020  outlook. The metric the market loves –-US e-commerce growth of 43%. The stock is rising pre-market by 4% and is rising above resistance at $103. The stock could be nearing a big break out sending the stock on its way back to all-time highs around $110.

Facebook (FB)

Facebook is trading slightly lower and continues to appear as if it is heading lower towards $157.

Nvidia (NVDA)

Nvidia should be on watch after investors have had three days to digest those horribly sugar-coated results from last week. A drop below $150 sends the stock back to around $139.

Freeport (FCX)

Freeport is nearing a huge break out which could send the stock higher on towards $13.80.

JD

JD is laying off 10% of its executive workforce. The uptrend in the stock is still firm, and it appears the stock is still on its way to $26.

Blackberry (BB)

Blackberry is nearing a big breakout at $8.70, which could send it on to $9.

Enjoy!
