"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
On this page, best is the momentum-ranking sense: the Technology names with the strongest cross-sectional momentum across the US equity universe, ordered by a composite momentum score — 1-month price trend 50%, 3-month trend 20% and acceleration 30% — computed arithmetically from daily closes. No model orders these rows — a frontier model writes the research behind each name, not the ranking. It is not a buy list, a rating, or a price target — it reflects price moves already made. Each covered name links to its dated research dossier.
