The best industrial stocks right now, ranked.

Of the 207 investable industrial stocks we score, these 25 rank highest on Ticker Nerd's factor model today — all nine factor families at once, not one metric. Every stock in P123's Industrials sector, the taxonomy the rank is built on.

Every score is a percentile across the whole US universe we cover — a 92 beats 92% of it. How the model was built and blind-tested is on the methodology page; what each factor means is on the factor glossary.
