The best momentum stocks right now, ranked.

Ticker Nerd's model re-ranks roughly 4,600 US stocks every trading day, and the 1,500 big and liquid enough to trade are eligible here. These 25 score highest on its Momentum factor right now. How the shares have performed over the past months, next to every other stock.

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.
