S&P 500 stocks in Stage 2

Stage 2 is the advancing phase in Stan Weinstein's four-stage cycle, when price holds above a rising long-term average. We run that read on every S&P 500 member after each close. The list shows which of the index's companies are carrying it, and the count shows how broad its strength is.

163 of 502 S&P 500 stocks pass · prices as of Oct 30, 2026 close · index members as of Oct 30, 2026

The exact criteria

Stage Analysis is Stan Weinstein's, published in Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets (1988). We apply his framework with our own stage engine after every close; the two checks below are what this screen filters on. It runs on US stocks priced at $5 or more and trading at least $1 million a day on average. The four stages explained →

Index membership is our own record, checked against public sources after each close. The date at the top is the last day that check passed.

  1. 1.A member of the S&P 500502 pass
  2. 2.Classified Stage 2: a confirmed uptrend928 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 163 names above, 40 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.

Questions

What does Stage 2 mean for an S&P 500 stock?

Stage 2 is the advancing phase of Stan Weinstein's stage analysis. The stock trades above a rising long-term moving average and keeps setting higher highs and higher lows, and it is the stage in which most of a stock's gains are made. Our stage engine classifies every member after each close.

How current is the S&P 500 membership on this page?

We check the index's members after every close against public sources, and the date beside the count is the last day that check passed. When S&P Dow Jones Indices adds or removes a company, the change shows here once it has taken effect and our next check confirms it.

Why is a member missing from the list?

A member appears only if it passes every rule above on the latest close. A company that listed recently may not have enough price history for a stage read yet, so it is counted as a member but cannot pass.

Is this an official S&P 500 list?

No. Stage2Stocks is not affiliated with S&P Dow Jones Indices. The page shows which companies are in the index, as of the date shown, for use with our stage analysis. It does not show index weights.

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.
