Chicago, IL – September 8, 2026 – Stocks in this week’s article are EuroDry Ltd. (EDRY - Free Report) , RCM Technologies Inc. (RCMT - Free Report) , Assembly Biosciences Inc. (ASMB - Free Report) , Delcath Systems Inc. (DCTH - Free Report) and National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (NESR - Free Report) .
5 Stocks with Recent Price Strength Buoyed by a Strong August
U.S. stock markets ended August on a positive note after a mixed June and July. The Dow was up more than 1%, marking its fifth consecutive monthly winning streak. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.6% and 3.9%, respectively.
Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite posted their first monthly advance since May. Moreover, the Dow and the S&P 500 recorded their new all-time highs both on an intraday and closing basis, early last month.
As a result, a few 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 — EuroDry Ltd., RCM Technologies Inc., Assembly Biosciences Inc., Delcath Systems Inc. and National Energy Services Reunited Corp.
If a stock is continuously witnessing an uptrend, there must be a solid reason, or it would probably have 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.
