3 Momentum Anomaly Stocks to Profit Amid Whimsical Market Sways

The broader U.S. equity markets witnessed a topsy-turvy ride over the past few days as gains by some blue-chip tech companies were more than offset by concerns regarding the increasing valuation of AI firms. Industry experts widely expect that growth in AI firms would not be commensurate with hefty investments, leading to a market correction in the near term. Moreover, investors remain worried about whether the Federal Reserve will lower its benchmark borrowing rate at its final meeting of the year next month, with a data vacuum owing to a record government shutdown period.

The markets eagerly anticipate the September nonfarm payrolls reading (due this week) to get some cues about the economic progression and the likely Fed actions. Amid the vagaries of the market, investors often seek to employ time-tested winning strategies to fetch sustained profits. One of the most successful game plans to beat the blues is to bet on momentum stocks, like Seagate Technology Holdings plc, Robinhood Markets, Inc. and Everus Construction Group, Inc. when value or growth investing fails to generate the desired profits.

This approach primarily tends to follow the adage, “the trend is your friend.” At its core, momentum investing is “buying high and selling higher.” It is based on the idea that once a stock establishes a trend, it is more likely to continue in that direction because of the momentum that is already behind it. Momentum investing is a way to profit from the general human tendency to extrapolate current trends into the future. It is based on that gap in time before the mean reversion occurs, i.e., before prices become rational again.

Momentum strategies have been known to be alpha-generative over a long period and across market stages. Therefore, this strategy is quite tricky to implement, as detecting these trends is no child’s play. Here, we have created a strategy to help investors get in on these fast movers and rake in handsome gains. Our screen will help you benefit from long-term price momentum and a short-term pullback in price.
