Chicago, IL – October 3, 2022 – Stocks in this week’s article are Harmonic Inc. (HLIT - Free Report) , International Seaways Inc. (INSW - Free Report) , Absolute Software Corp. , HF Sinclair Corp. (DINO - Free Report) and Scorpio Tankers Inc. (STNG - Free Report) .
5 Stocks with Recent Price Strength Amid September Rout
September is historically known as the worst-performing month on Wall Street. With just a day of trading left, this September is set to record the worst performance in more than a decade. The S&P 500 Index is likely to post a third-straight quarter of losses, for the first time since 2009.
U.S. stock markets have witnessed a broad-based decline this month. The Fed has raised the benchmark lending rate by 3% year to date. Since the central bank has given a clear indication of the continuation of a rigorous interest rate hike and tighter monetary control, a global financial crisis looms larger. Market participants are pricing the cost of an imminent recession in stock valuation.
Despite a global financial crisis due to the soaring U.S. dollar price, various important Fed officials have said that they are in favor of a rigorous interest rate hike so long as price stability is restored. Market participants are worried that the Fed may continue with its ultra-hawkish monetary policies even if the U.S. economy enters a recession.
Despite headwinds, a handful of stocks have shown price strength. These stocks are likely to gain in the near term buoyed by a favorable Zacks Rank. Five of them are — Harmonic Inc., International Seaways Inc., Absolute Software Corp., HF Sinclair Corp. and Scorpio Tankers Inc.
Here’s How We Arrived at the Picks
We have primarily targeted stocks that have freshly been on a bull run. Stocks seeing price strength recently 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 6.
Let’s discuss five out of these six stocks:
International Seaways is a tanker company. INSW provides energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products. International Seaways owns and operates a fleet including ULCC, eight VLCCs, eight Aframaxes/LR2s, 12 Panamaxes/LR1s and 20 MR tankers.
The stock price of International Seaways has jumped 20.4% in the past four weeks. INSW has an expected earnings growth rate of more than 100% for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings improved 9.1% over the last 30 days.
