5 Stocks with Recent Price Strength to Enhance Your Portfolio

The September syndrome is already visible in U.S. stock markets. Known as the worst-performing month for Wall Street, the situation remains challenging this year, too. Major stock indexes suffered significant losses in the first week of this month. However, last week, was the best for these indexes in 2024.

Consequently, a handful of 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.

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.

Here’s how you should create the screen to shortlist the current as well as the potential winners.

Just these few criteria narrowed down the search from over 7,700 stocks to 13.
