IPOs Moving Late
Late Monday, marketing software maker Sprinklers (CXM) reported a better-than-expected first-quarter profit and revenue gain. CXM stock popped nearly 4% in late trades.

Dow Jones Futures Today
Dow Jones futures lost 0.1% vs. fair value. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures fell roughly 0.1%.
Crude oil futures fell nearly 2%, now clearly below where it was before Saudi Arabia announced a surprise production cut on Sunday.

AppleVision Pro
Apple unveiled the long-awaited mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro, at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Targeting gaming, communications and productivity uses, the goggles combine virtual and augmented reality. The $3,499 price tag, higher than speculation for about $3,000, could deter potential buyers.
Earlier, Apple unveiled some new Mac computers and provided updates on the latest operating systems for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Watch.
Apple stock closed down 0.8% at 179.58 after hitting a record 184.95 intraday before the Vision Pro was unveiled.

Stocks In Buy Areas
Tesla stock rose 1.7% to 217.61 on Monday after hitting a 2023 high of 221.29 intraday. Shares are still in range from a 207.79 buy point, but are at the upper end of the 5% chase zone. Tesla stock broke out Friday from what’s either a cup or double-bottom base. The EV giant has advanced above-average volume for six straight sessions.
FTNT stock jumped 4.6% to 71.27, reclaiming a 69.07 buy point from a V-shape flat base, according to MarketSmith analysis. Volume was heavy. Fortinet originally broke out on May 19, but soon reversed lower to test the 50-day line before recovering.
DXCM stock climbed 1.7% to 124.66 on Monday, also reaching the 126.44 flat-base buy point intraday. Shares reclaimed the 50-day line late last week and broke a short trendline. Dexcom stock topped a short-term high Monday.
SHOP stock gained 2.8% to 59.92, rebounding from its 21-day line. That’s offering an early entry, though Shopify stock has teased aggressive buy points several times in the past few weeks only to quickly fizzle. Shares are working on a possible basis following a powerful earnings gap-up in early May.
WING stock popped 3%% to 203.69, rebounding from the 50-day and 10-week lines, just above a prior consolidation. Shares also reclaimed their 21-day line and broke a down-sloping trendline. Volume was light but not terrible. Investors could use Monday’s move as a buy signal. Wingstop stock is on track to have a flat base, part of a base-on-base pattern, by the end of the week.
Market Rally Analysis
The stock market rallied saw Monday slide, but seemed normal after last week’s big gains. The Nasdaq initially led, but turned red as Apple stock reversed lower. So did the S&P 500.
The Dow Jones retreated modestly, but is still above its 50-day line.
The Russell 2000 fell solidly, closing just below the 200-day line. That’s a reflection of weak breadth. After winners dominated late last week, losers easily won Monday.
The Nasdaq 100 edged up 0.1%, off session highs. It’s still 9.3% above its 50-day line.
The First Trust Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted Index ETF (QQEW) also rose 0.1%.
The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) fell 0.3%, but is still above its 50-day and 200-day line. Holding that level and eventually making the track toward 2023 highs will be important.
The market rally has been led by tech titans and AI stocks, including many chip plays. While some kept rising Monday, the Apple stock reversal and recent pullback in chips isn’t entirely unwelcome.
While market breadth was negative Monday, some sectors showed strength or hinted at it.
That includes cybersecurity, with FTNT stock just one of several top performers. Several restaurant names, including WING stock, are still on the menu. Medical products and systems plays such as DXCM stock are at or near entries. Homebuilders and, to a lesser extent, travel stocks are doing well.

What To Do Now
After last week’s bullish, broad market rally, investors should be looking to add exposure, gradually.
