3 Top Breakout Stocks Up 20%+ with More Room to Run
Investors can potentially boost returns by taking a more active approach to stock selection, tracking potential breakout opportunities within well-defined price ranges. In this strategy, a stock should typically be sold if it falls below the lower boundary of the range, while a move above the upper boundary signals a breakout and an opportunity to stay invested for further upside gains.
Applying this strategy, Arko Corp., Super Group Ltd. and Luxfer Holdings PLC emerged as notable breakout candidates. Over the past year, shares of Arko, Super Group and Luxfer have jumped 31.2%, 50.9% and 28.5%, respectively.
Spotting Breakout Stocks Before the Next Big Move
To pick a breakout stock, calculate support and resistance levels. A support level is the lower bound for stock movements, while a resistance level refers to the maximum price it trades at within a considerable period.
In other words, the demand for a stock is lowest at its support level, meaning most traders are willing to sell it. The majority of traders are willing to go long the stock at the resistance level, indicating that they would like to add it to their portfolios. The key to identifying breakout stocks is to zero in on those on the verge of a breakout or those that have just broken above the resistance level.
Has the Stock Finally Broken Out for Real?
The primary risk associated with such a strategy is that the decision to buy an apparent breakout candidate has been incorrectly timed. When a stock moves above the resistance level, it should be highly prized by traders. However, whether such a breakout is genuine is another matter altogether.
For a bona fide breakout, the stock’s earlier resistance should become its new support. This only happens if the established trading channel is tested by observing long-term price trends. The strength of the support and resistance levels can be ascertained only through such a study. Despite the risk of misidentification, correctly identifying such stocks can yield considerable returns, even at a price that may not seem attractive at first glance.
