3 A-Rated Momentum Stocks to Bring Excitement to Your Portfolio

Momentum matters for stocks, and it’s vital for investors to be aware of whether the ball is rolling uphill or downhill. Providing you with a heads-up on that factor is precisely what our Momentum Component Grade was designed for. You want some stocks to get excited about? Look for the stocks with a high Momentum Component grade.

Yet momentum isn’t everything, and it should be considered within a broader context, even if you are specifically looking to capitalize on it. Some poor picks look strong from a singular angle. For that reason, consider the Zen Rating as well, which looks at 115 carefully considered factors. We’ve selected three stocks below that have both an A Zen Rating and an A Component Grade for Momentum.

A note from our sponsors...

1. Centerra Gold Inc (NYSE: CGAU)

The international mining company may very well be making the occasional headlines, given the fact that gold prices are extremely high (though perhaps not as high as a couple of weeks ago), but that’s not necessarily the reason you should be paying attention. The reasons you should be paying attention are below:

Strong grades across the board only serve as evidence that there is excitement to be had in following CGAU’s rise and self-funded growth efforts. And while gold prices may be due for a correction, CGAU also operates mines for copper and molybdenum, and sees strong production from its facilities. 

Allient Inc (NASDAQ: ALNT)

Designing, manufacturing, and selling precision components among other products, ALNT (formerly known as Allied Motion Technologies) often finds clients in the medical, aerospace and defense, vehicle, and specialty industries. Demand is unlikely to decline, considering the importance of its client industries, and it is expected to surpass earnings estimates.

And despite having an excellent year (+194.78 over the last 12 months), ALNT still has room to grow, with a Component Grade of A for both Momentum and Growth. You will want to keep a close eye on it over the next week at the very least, and see how the market responds to its performance.

Kimball Electronics (NASDAQ: KE)

Providing diverse manufacturing services may not sound like the most exciting prospect, but a few months ago, the stock price rose rapidly, and yet the momentum hasn’t dissipated. The global manufacturer is catching the eyes of investors and analysts alike, given the A Component Grade for Sentiment alongside its other strong marks. 

Yet what is there to be excited about currently? First, the electronics industry is performing well overall, likely boosted by unprecedented AI spending and increased investment. It has also maintained most of its gains following its spike a few months ago. One will need to watch if it maintains strong performance, but investors will certainly want to keep an eye on KE if they aren’t already adding it to their portfolio.
