5 Stocks with Recent Price Strength amid a Volatile September
September is historically known as the worst-performing month for U.S. equities. This year multiple concerns have unnerved market participants. A spike in crude oil prices, a sticky inflation rate, soaring yields on U.S. Treasury Notes and the Fed’s reinitiation of an interest rate hike regime are the near-term headwinds. Consequently, month to date, the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite are down 3.2%, 1.8% and 1.5%, respectively.
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., Vince Holding Corp., Nutex Health Inc., TXO Partners L.P. and KB Financial Group Inc.
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.
Just these few criteria narrowed down the search from over 7,700 stocks to eight.
Let’s discuss five out of those eight stocks here:
EuroDry is an owner and operator of drybulk vessels and provider of seaborne transportation for drybulk cargoes. EDRY owns and operates drybulk carriers that transport major bulks, such as iron ore, coal, and grains, and minor bulks, including bauxite, phosphate, and fertilizers.
The stock price of EDRY has soared 62.2% in the past four weeks. It has an expected earnings growth rate of more than 100% for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year’s earnings has improved 49.1% over the last 30 days.
Vince Holding offers a broad range of women's and men's ready-to-wear including its signature cashmere sweaters, leather jackets, luxe leggings, dresses, silk and woven tops, denim and footwear.
