Ranked · strongest trend first

The US momentum board.

Per the FrontierPicks daily momentum scan of 3,511 US names, these are the 50 strongest 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. 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.

Common questions

What are the hottest US stocks right now?

On the 8 October 2026 board the top-ranked US momentum names are KOD, GRAL, VRA, IOVA, XP. Ranking is 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, across a 3,511-name scanned universe, recomputed every trading day — it is a measure of what has already moved, not a forecast or a recommendation.

How is the momentum score calculated?

Each name gets a composite score from its 1-month and 3-month price return plus acceleration (whether the trend is speeding up or decaying). Scores are computed from split- and dividend-adjusted daily closes on the same universe every day, so ranks are comparable across sessions.

How often is the momentum board updated?

The board re-ranks every US trading day on completed sessions, so it runs through the previous close. This one runs through the 8 October 2026 close. Weekends and market holidays carry the last ranking forward rather than showing a stale date as fresh.

Which sector has the strongest momentum right now?

Among sectors with at least three names on the ranked board, Healthcare leads on mean momentum score as of 8 October 2026. Sector momentum is the average score of every ranked name in that sector, so the heat strip can show a smaller sector with one or two strong names above it.
