Can 4 Relative Price Strength Stocks Defy Market Swings?

After a brief stumble triggered by renewed U.S.-China trade tensions, Wall Street found its footing once again. The market’s sharp selloff, fueled by tariff threats and restrictions on rare earth exports, was quickly followed by a broad rebound as conciliatory comments from both sides hinted at a possible dialogue ahead. Investors saw this as a sign that while the trade conflict remains heated, a full-blown escalation looks unlikely for now.

Major indexes stayed resilient, showing strong underlying momentum even amid policy uncertainty. That balance between volatility and optimism reflects a market still supported by easing monetary policy, solid earnings, and investor confidence in economic stability. In such conditions, relative price strength becomes a powerful approach — helping investors focus on stocks that continue to outperform despite turbulence, the true leaders likely to extend gains once calm returns.

At this stage, investors would be wise to consider stocks such as United Natural Foods, Teladoc Health, Supernus Pharmaceuticals and BRP Inc. based on their relative price strength.

Relative Price Strength Strategy

Investors generally gauge a stock’s potential returns by examining earnings growth and valuation multiples. At the same time, it’s essential to measure the performance of such a stock relative to its industry, peers, or an appropriate benchmark.

If you see that a stock is underperforming on fundamental factors, it would be prudent to move on and find a better alternative. However, those outperforming their respective sectors in terms of price should be selected because they stand a better chance of providing considerable returns.

Then again, it is imperative that you determine whether or not an investment has relevant upside potential when considering stocks with significant relative price strength. Stocks delivering better than the S&P 500 for 1 to 3 months, at least, and having solid fundamentals, indicate room for growth and are the best ways to go about this strategy.

Finally, it is crucial to find out whether analysts are optimistic about the upcoming earnings of these companies. In order to do this, we have added positive estimate revisions for the current quarter’s (Q1) earnings to our screen. When a stock undergoes an upward revision, it leads to additional price gains.
