Chicago, IL – October 8, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are Century Aluminum Co. CENX, DRDGOLD Ltd. DRD, Globalstar Inc. GSAT, TAT Technologies Ltd. TATT and Sterling Infrastructure Inc. STRL.
U.S. stock markets have continued their northward journey in 2025 following an impressive rally over the past two years. Year to date, all three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — are up 10.3%, 14.4% and 18.2%, respectively, and currently hovering near their all-time highs.
A weak labor market has raised expectations that the Fed will continue to reduce the benchmark lending rate during the rest of 2025. However, the recent shutdown of the U.S. government and consequent delay of the release of several key economic data may drag down investors' enthusiasm.
Consequently, a few stocks have shown price strength. We have primarily targeted stocks that have recently been on a bull run. Such stocks have a high chance of carrying the momentum forward.
Five such stocks are — Century Aluminum Co., DRDGOLD Ltd., Globalstar Inc., TAT Technologies Ltd. and Sterling Infrastructure Inc.
If a stock is continuously witnessing an uptrend, there must be a solid reason or it would have probably crashed. So, looking at stocks capable of beating the benchmark that they have set for themselves seems rational.
However, recent price strength alone cannot create magic. Therefore, other relevant parameters are needed to create a successful investment strategy.
