3 Top Momentum Picks Banking on the Driehaus Strategy
The Driehaus strategy can be applied to choose the best momentum stocks. It is known as the “buy high and sell higher” theory. No doubt, it’s a successful investment strategy that helped Richard Driehaus make a place in Barron’s All-Century Team.
To that end, stocks like Inter Parfums, Commercial Metals and Voya Financial have been selected as the momentum picks for the day using the Driehaus strategy.
A Detailed Look into the Driehaus Strategy
Regarding the strategy, Driehaus once said: “I would much rather invest in a stock that’s increasing in price and take the risk that it may begin to decline than invest in a stock that’s already in decline and try to guess when it will turn around.” In line with this insight, the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) took into account the percentage 50-day moving average as one of the key criteria before creating a portfolio following Driehaus’ philosophy.
It is calculated by dividing the numerator (month-end price minus 50-day moving average of month-end price) by the 50-day moving average of the month-end price. Another momentum indicator — positive relative strength — has also been included in this strategy. A positive percentage 50-day moving average indicates that the stock is trading at a price higher than its 50-day moving average level, indicating an uptrend.
Moreover, AAII found that Driehaus primarily focuses on strong earnings growth rates and impressive earnings projections to pick potential outperformers. Companies with a strong history of beating estimates are also given importance in this strategy, which was made to provide better returns over the long term.
Here are three of the 17 stocks:
Inter Parfums is engaged in the manufacturing, distribution and marketing of a wide range of fragrances and related products. Inter Parfums has a Momentum Score of B. The trailing four-quarter earnings surprise for IPAR is 36.2%, on average.
Commercial Metals manufactures, recycles and markets steel and metal products, related materials and services. Commercial Metals has a Momentum Score of A. The trailing four-quarter earnings surprise for CMC is 16.7%, on average.
Voya Financial operates as a retirement, investment, and employee benefits company in the United States. Voya Financial has a Momentum Score of B. The trailing four-quarter earnings surprise for VOYA is 38.7%, on average.
