MARKET

As the SPX continues its rebound from April lows, in this edition of the Fundamental Report we’ll look at US-based equities showing robust momentum and out performance relative to the index.

We will focus on companies with a TC Quantamental Rating (TCQR) greater than 55 out of 100, indicating strong fundamentals compared to peers in its industry group. Moreover, we’ll also limit our search to stocks with a minimum TC Momentum Factor Rating of 80 out of 100, indicating extremely positive investor sentiment and outperformance against peers in the industry.

Additionally, looking at daily volume comparisons in the last 10-days vs the past 90-days, we will opt for those entities with a ratio of 1.5, indicating higher than usual volume in recent times. Finally, outperformance is key to identifying winners and thus we will only include those stocks with a minimum double digit performance of 10% in the prior 4 weeks.
