"3-mo price move" is the stock's market price change, not a FrontierPicks return. The "3-mo price move" column is one of the three inputs to that score, weighted 20% — not the ranking itself, so rows do not descend in it.

What "best" means here

Here best means the strongest price trend: Healthcare stocks ordered by a composite momentum score — 1-month price trend 50%, 3-month trend 20% and acceleration 30% — computed arithmetically from daily closing prices, through the last completed session. No model sets the order. It is a screen of moves already made, not a buy list, rating or price target. Each covered stock links to its dated research dossier.
