"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 oncology and immunology 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 accelerating.

Names on the momentum board rank first by composite momentum score, then the rest of the covered roster by conviction tier; this is research, not a recommendation.
Is the oncology and immunology stocks theme accelerating or slowing?
The FrontierPicks model reads this cluster as accelerating as of 25 August 2026. The Moderna/Merck cancer-vaccine breakthrough coverage (2026-08-20) and 'Moderna Doubles' (2026-08-19) reset attention across mRNA names; ARCT's one-month score (157.7) now exceeds its three-month (102.7), the signature of new rather than carried momentum. The leader has already given back ground — MRNA slid on 2026-08-24 after the rally and its 3m score (197.3) sits above its 1m (157.8); a second down week in MRNA with no new trial data would make this maturing.
