The strongest momentum stocks in the US market right now

Momentum screens usually just sort by recent return, which puts a stock that jumped 40% on one piece of news at the top. This one asks for strength relative to the whole market and a trend underneath it, so what you get is names that have been outperforming for a while rather than names that moved on Tuesday.

458 US stocks pass · data as of Oct 22, 2026 close

Where our read differs

Of the 100 names above, 4 are flagged Early entry by our own model: still early enough in their move that the trade has room, rather than names that have already run. A screen tells you a stock qualifies; it does not tell you whether you are late. That second question is the one we built the engine to answer.
