PHINIA Finds an All-Time High

New 52-Week Highs led New Lows — 173 vs. 9.

Happy Monday.

For those just joining us, here’s an overview…

We launched this publication to help investors sift through the noise and discover stocks with high relative strength and a low social following.

Why is relative strength relevant?

Markets trend. Stocks that have outperformed are likely to continue their outperformance.

Why is a low social following important?

Peter Lynch once shared, “If you find a stock with little or no institutional ownership, you’ve found a potential winner. Find a company that no analyst has ever visited, or that no analyst would admit to knowing about, and you’ve got a double winner.”

Lynch invested in an era where Wall Street analysts were prevalent. Today, as the Wall Street analyst industry dissolves, identifying stocks with a low social following indicates a stock is dismissed // uncovered by investors.

Stocks that display both high relative strength and a low social following may be ripe to rip.
