5 Stocks with Recent Price Strength to Maximize Your Gains
U.S. stock markets have been witnessing an astonishing bull-run over the past three and half years, barring some intermittent fluctuations. All three major stock indexes, along with the mid-cap and small-cap benchmarks, are in positive territory. The Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite, are currently trading around their all-time highs.
As a result, several stocks have shown price strength. We have primarily targeted stocks that have recently been on a bull run. These stocks have a high chance of carrying the momentum forward.
Five such stocks are — Vishay Precision Group Inc., ASE Technology Holding Co. Ltd., StoneX Group Inc., Hooker Furnishings Corp. and Helios Technologies 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.
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 15.
Let’s discuss five out of those 15 stocks here:

Growth across both Hydraulics and Electronics segments is being driven by infrastructure-related demand, OEM strength and recovery in select end markets.
New product launches are broadening HLIO’s addressable markets, including newer applications such as data center thermal management.
