Chicago, IL – August 27, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are Vertiv Holdings Co VRT, MasTec, Inc. MTZ and Robinhood Markets, Inc. HOOD.
The broader U.S. equity markets have been swinging wildly over the past few days, hitting record highs on the back of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s broader rate cut hints and declining sharply due to concerns surrounding NVIDIA’s impending earnings release. Moreover, with President Trump transgressing the Fed’s independence by threatening to remove Governor Lisa Cook from her post and likely setting up a legal battle that could reach the Supreme Court, the markets remained largely on tenterhooks.
Amid the vagaries of the market, investors often seek to employ time-tested winning strategies to fetch sustained profits. One of the most successful game plans to beat the blues is to bet on momentum stocks, like Vertiv Holdings Co, MasTec, Inc. and Robinhood Markets, Inc. when value or growth investing fails to generate the desired profits.
This approach primarily tends to follow the adage, “the trend is your friend.” At its core, momentum investing is “buying high and selling higher.” It is based on the idea that once a stock establishes a trend, it is more likely to continue in that direction because of the momentum that is already behind it. Momentum investing is a way to profit from the general human tendency to extrapolate current trends into the future. It is based on that gap in time before the mean reversion occurs, i.e., before prices become rational again.
Momentum strategies have been known to be alpha-generative over a long period and across market stages. So, this strategy is quite tricky to implement, as detecting these trends is no child’s play. Here, we have created a strategy to help investors get in on these fast movers and rake in handsome gains. Our screen will help you benefit from both long-term price momentum and a short-term pullback in price.
