About Momentum Investing
Momentum investing works because price trends persist. Stocks near 52-week highs are there for a reason — institutional accumulation, earnings beats, sector tailwinds, or re-rating. Contrary to the retail instinct to 'buy the dip', decades of academic research across global markets consistently shows that stocks near highs outperform stocks at lows over 6–12 month horizons.
The key is fundamental backing. A stock at its 52-week high because of genuine revenue acceleration and high ROE is a very different bet from one riding a speculative wave with no earnings support. The first is a trend with substance; the second is a bubble waiting to deflate. Volume confirmation matters too: institutional accumulation shows up in sustained above-average volumes, not just random spikes.
These momentum screens combine price proximity to 52-week highs with stringent fundamental filters — sales growth, operating margins, and return on equity — to find stocks where the price trend has real business substance behind it. The result: a list of stocks the market is already rewarding, backed by fundamentals that justify the move and suggest the trend has further to run. Always use strict stop-losses with momentum strategies — trends end, often suddenly.
