PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. (PYPL)

In today’s analysis of the SIA S&P 100 Index Report, we highlight the top relative strength decliners, with notable names like Nvidia, General Motors, PayPal, Tesla, and Apple showing signs of weakening momentum. While some of these companies were key drivers of the 2024 market rally, recent trends suggest that money flows may be shifting away, signaling potential challenges for these holdings. PayPal, in particular, has seen a sharp decline in 2025, despite strong performance last year, and may now be testing critical support levels.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. (MG.TO)

Magna International Inc. (MG.TO) continues to face significant pressure, with a -27.09% return over the past year and a poor relative strength reading, placing it deep in the SIA Unfavored zone. Despite this, key levels to watch include the $49.68 support and $66.58 resistance, which could indicate a potential breakout in either direction. The shares are also showing clear support around the 50% level on the SIA monthly candlestick chart, with the negative trend line further highlighting the narrowing wedge in price action.

FIRST QUANTUM MINERALS LTD. (FM.TO)

First Quantum Minerals (FM.TO) has been underperforming in the SIA S&P/TSX 60 Index, moving from the Neutral zone back into the Unfavored zone. Despite a rally in copper prices late in 2024, FM.TO has struggled to maintain momentum, with current support at $17.33 and resistance at $20.31. For those seeking exposure to the Metals and Mining sector, the report highlights stronger relative performance in gold and silver stocks, while coal, copper, and uranium stocks are lagging behind.

CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY (CPB)

We’ll review CPB’s performance compared to the broader market, identify its current position within the SIA matrix, and highlight the opportunity cost of holding such underperforming stocks.

NVIDIA CORP. (NVDA)

On November 19th, 2024, we highlighted Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) in the SIA Daily Stock Report, noting that the semiconductor sector had lost its relative strength. Despite some technical strength in Nvidia, the SIA platform identified poor risk/reward parameters, indicating elevated risk. Since then, Nvidia has struggled to break resistance and has fallen below key support levels, with both the sector and NVDA shares showing negative momentum and very little support beneath current levels.

IAMGOLD CORP. (IMG.TO)

February has started with uncertainty in the markets following the White House’s announcement of a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. Amid this volatility, IAMGOLD Corp. has emerged as a strong performer, posting significant returns and standing out in the SIA Metals and Mining Sector Report, making it a potential opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the gold sub-sector.

DEUTSCHE BANK AG (DB)

Deutsche Bank AG (DB) has delivered a strong start to 2025, with a YTD return of 15.78%, alongside a 54.82% return over the past year. The stock ranks #12 in the SIA ADR Index Report, positioning it among top-performing names like Carnival, Kinross Gold, and Gildan Activewear. A solid point-and-figure (PNF) chart may indicate strong support at $17, with PNF resistance targets extrapolated out to $21 and $24, further supported by a perfect SIA SMAX score of 10 out of 10.

Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX.TO) has been a significant underperformer in the SIA S&P/TSX 60 Index Report, contrasting with the top performers like Kinross Gold. Over the past six quarters, Barrick has shown a steady relative strength (RS) decline, indicating weak RS compared to its peers.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC. (UPS)

Despite a recent rally, UPS remains deeply unfavored within the SIA S&P 100 Index Report, continuing to trade below its point-and-figure negative trend line. With shares down 10.88% over the past year and resistance at key levels, the stock’s underperformance may signal broader concerns about the North American economy, particularly in relation to import trade with China. The ongoing weakness in UPS contrasts with stronger performances in airline stocks, and further analysis of shipping stocks, especially given the Baltic Freight Index, could point to more challenges ahead for the sector.

ADIDAS AG ADR (ADDYY)

ADIDAS AG ADR (ADDYY) has posted a 9.64% return in 2025, following a 40.32% gain in 2024, and ranks #45 in the SIA International ADR Report after climbing 67 spots up into the favored zone. The SIA point-and-figure chart may be showing a bullish setup, while the SIA SMAX score of 9/10 highlights strong relative strength.
