"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. A dash means the name did not place in this week’s top-50 momentum scan, so it has no published 3-month figure.
How this page is built
These are the names FrontierPicks covers in the managed care and health-services stocks cluster — each with a dated research dossier. Names on the momentum board rank first by a composite momentum score — 1-month price trend 50%, 3-month trend 20% and acceleration 30% — computed arithmetically from daily closes, then the rest of the covered roster by conviction tier. Cluster membership is assigned by a frontier model, currently read as maturing.

- Is the managed care and health-services stocks theme accelerating or slowing?
- The FrontierPicks model reads this cluster as maturing as of 4 September 2026. Thin and policy-driven: Humana reiterated FY26 adjusted EPS of at least $9 (2026-09-01), Barclays raised AVAH to a $15 target at Overweight (08-28), and Ackman's backing of Mark Cuban's drug-pricing model was framed as picking healthcare winners and losers (09-02).
