US stocks with an episodic pivot in the last month
An episodic pivot is a stock that gaps sharply higher on news, usually earnings, and on heavy volume, because something about the company has changed. Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) named the setup, and Kristjan Kullamägi (Qullamaggie) trades it as one of his three. This list keeps every US stock that gapped up 10% or more on at least three times its usual volume in the last month and closed that day higher.
95 US stocks pass · data as of Nov 9, 2026 close
The exact criteria
The episodic pivot is Stockbee's, published in his blog, stockbee.blogspot.com. Some of it can't be read from prices and reported figures (the news behind the gap), so the three checks below are the parts that can. The rest is yours to judge. It runs on US stocks priced at $5 or more and trading at least $1 million a day on average.
- 1.Gapped up 10% or more at the open, against the previous close, in the last month185 pass
- 2.Volume that day at least three times its 50-day average95 pass
- 3.Closed above the previous close that day, so the gap held176 pass
Each count is that rule applied on its own to the same set of stocks, so you can see which one is doing the work. The list below is the names that pass all of them.

Where our read differs
Of the 95 names above, 1 are on our Established uptrends list: uptrends that have lasted, near their highs and not stretched above their 50-day average. A screen tells you a stock qualifies; it does not tell you whether the trend has proven itself or already run. That second question is the one we built the engine to answer.

Questions
What is an episodic pivot?
A sudden repricing of a stock on news that changes how the market sees it: an earnings surprise, a new product, a large contract, a change in its industry. It shows up as a gap of 10% or more on heavy volume. Bonde's point is that the move often keeps going for weeks, because news that big takes time to be priced in.
Does this list check the news?
No. The gap and its volume can be read from prices; the reason behind them cannot. Read the news for each name before treating it as a pivot. A gap on a takeover offer, for example, usually goes nowhere after the first day.
What does Qullamaggie look for in one?
A gap of 10% or more on big volume, strong growth in earnings and sales, and ideally a stock that hadn't already run up over the three to six months before. He buys the break of the opening range and puts his stop at the low of the day.
When does the list update?
After every US close. The nightly run starts at around 5:30 pm ET.
End-of-day data for common stocks and ADRs on the NYSE, Nasdaq and NYSE American, computed after each US close and dated to the trading session.
