5 Stocks With Recent Price Strength Amid Wall Street Volatility

U.S. stock markets started 2026 on a positive note. While, volatility has reappeared on Wall Street, it is predominantly due to market participants’ concerns about the continuity of AI (artificial intelligence) trade. 

Extremely overstretched valuation of AI stocks, the sustainability of massive AI spending by companies and serious doubt about the timing of monetization of this enormous spending resulted in a stiff decline of the technology sector.

Consequently, a handful of 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 — Modine Manufacturing Co. MOD, Gold.com Inc. GOLD, Flexsteel Industries Inc. FLXS, Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. SHIP and Forum Energy Technologies Inc. FET. 

If a stock is continuously witnessing an uptrend, there must be a solid reason or it would have probably 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.

Screening Parameters:

Percentage Change in Price (4 Weeks) greater than zero: This criterion shows that the stock has moved higher in the last four weeks. 

Percentage Change Price (12 Weeks) greater than 10: This indicates that the stock has seen momentum over the last three months. This lowers the risk of choosing stocks that may have drawn attention due to the overwhelming performance of the overall market in a very short period. 

Zacks Rank 1: No matter whether market conditions are good or bad, stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) have a proven history of outperformance. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Average Broker Rating 1: This indicates that brokers are also highly hopeful about the stock’s future performance. 

Current Price greater than 5: The stocks must all be trading at a minimum of $5.

Current Price/ 52-Week High-Low Range more than 85%: This criterion filters stocks that are trading near their respective 52-week highs. It indicates that these are strong enough in terms of price.

Just these few criteria narrowed down the search from over 7,700 stocks to 11.
