These 2 Momentum Stocks Got a Bullish Nod — Here's Why They Could Reach New Highs

Buying into rising stocks is a natural impulse – and it's a viable investing strategy. Momentum investing, as it's called, is the art of finding and following the market's upward trends. Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Of course, every investing style has its boosters and its bummers, and both sides usually have strong arguments in their favor. The key to success is finding balance, and remembering that while past performance won't guarantee a future return, it can still provide useful indications of where a stock is heading. With that in mind, let's dive into a pair of momentum stocks that are currently catching investors' attention. Using the TipRanks database, we've zeroed in on two names that have not only gained steam lately, but have also received bullish endorsements from at least one Street analyst. Let's take a look. BridgeBio Pharma (BBIO) The first momentum stock on our list today is BridgeBio, a biopharmaceutical company with a focus on genetic diseases that are both rare and serious. More specifically, BridgeBio has chosen disease targets with what it describes as 'clear genetic drivers'; that is, it is developing drug candidates to treat diseases that are genetically linked to single mutations. BridgeBio has chosen a rich field in which to work, as it can choose from more than 10,000 genetic diseases that meet its target criteria – and they impact tens of millions of patients globally. More importantly, this group of diseases has relatively few FDA-approved medications, giving BridgeBio plenty of openings. BridgeBio bases its development work on its proprietary drug development platform, looking for novel genetic diseases to target and then creating new medicines to address symptoms and improve patient outcomes. The company follows this development stage by moving a drug candidate from a successful clinical trial series and into the regulatory process, with commercialization being the final goal. BridgeBio reached that goal late last year. This past November, the company received FDA approval of its drug acoramidis for the treatment of cardiomyopathy of wild-type or variant transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM), a disease that affects the heart muscle. Treatment with acoramidis was shown in clinical trials to reduce death and hospitalization from the disease, with statistically significant improvements in patients under treatment. BridgeBio is marketing the new drug under the brand name Attruby, and 1Q25 was the company's first full quarter of commercialization efforts. The company is still investigating acoramidis in the clinical trial program, where it is the subject of the Phase 3 ACT-EARLY study, testing whether the drug is useful in preventing asymptomatic patients who carry the pathogenic TTR variant from developing the active disease. Turning to the company's financial side, we find that BridgeBio's 1Q25 earnings release showed $116.6 million in total revenues, of which $36.7 million was net product revenue derived from sales of Attruby in the US following the drug's commercial launch. The balance of the company's revenue came from license and services income. Compared to the prior-year quarter, this segment of the revenue was down by $131.2 million, leading to the total revenue year-over-year decline of 45%, although the total haul actually beat Street expectations by $58 million, aided by Atturby's better-than-expected debut. BridgeBio ran a net loss in 1Q25, of 88 cents per share, yet this was 5 cents per share better than had been expected. Investors have liked the story here and the stock shows a strong gain for the year-to-date, up ~74%. BridgeBio has caught the attention of Oppenheimer analyst Trevor Allred, who is taking a more bullish stance on the shares in light of Attruby's successful commercialization. Allred writes, 'We've been wrong on BBIO since our initiation—Bridgebio's team has executed Attruby's launch superbly, and shares have been supported by commercial outperformance and a look-ahead to clinical catalysts at YE. Our trepidation around 2029 generic entry has not mattered for 2025 stock performance. We expect share outperformance to continue as 2025 Attruby sales clear consensus estimates, and we expect commercial success to be compounded by positive clinical results from ADH1 and LGMD2i clinical trials around YE. Our concerns regarding long-term revenue durability remain, but BBIO has time to demonstrate real-world datasets demonstrating benefit over tafamidis should generics become available in 2029.' Allred follows these comments with an upgrade from Perform (i.e., Neutral) to Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating for BBIO, and a $60 price target that implies a one-year upside potential of 26%. (To watch Allred's track record, click here) Overall, this stock has earned a Strong Buy consensus rating from the Street, based on 18 recent reviews that have a lopsided breakdown of 17 Buys to 1 Hold. The shares are priced at $47.69, and their $62.75 average target price suggests that the stock will gain 31.5% by this time next year. (See BBIO stock forecast) So-Young International (SY) Next up on our list of momentum stocks is So-Young, a Chinese company. The firm that operates a social media platform, linked to the medical aesthetics industry, and connecting the varied consumers, professionals, and medical service providers in the aesthetics sector. The platform makes available reliable and trustworthy information on a carefully vetted and curated network of medical aesthetic providers. The service platform focuses on content distribution in China, making use of major social media networks and other targeted media platforms. Social media and medical aesthetics are both growth industries, and So-Young is building a brand image based on user trust, an extensive reach, and valuable data insights. So-Young's user base can trade information on clinics, the latest treatment trends in aesthetics, and the quality of treatment, all permitting better patient decisions – and based on the trust engendered by sharing personal experiences. The company is working to expand its network, to add additional medical fields such as dentistry, dermatology, ophthalmology, and basic physical exams. The service is focused on China, and the company is based in Beijing. In its financial release for 1Q25, So-Young reported important gains in the number of active users on its network and the number of verified paid visits. The active users – defined as those who had visited an aesthetic clinic at least once in the previous 12 months – totaled more than 75,500, a massive gain from the 8,000 reported in the prior-year period. The gain in verified paid visits was similar, with 45,500 in 1Q25 compared to 4,600 in 1Q24. The company reported Q1 revenue at the high end of its previously published guidance range, with a top line of RMB297.3 million (approximately US$41 million) compared with RMB318.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, a figure that beat Street expectations by $0.8 million. The shares have been on a huge runup, up 411% this year, the bulk of the gains generated over the past month and this Chinese momentum stock has come to the attention of Citi analyst Nelson Cheung, who is impressed by the company's recent growth. Cheung says of So-Young and its prospects, 'Since launch in Nov 2024, SoYoung Clinic has quickly expanded with 31 centers in major cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen) by end-Jun, verifying SY's strength in 1) differentiating brand position for quality standardized service and value-for-money mindshare for mass public; 2) increasing pricing power over procurement as it scales up; 3) effective online private domain cross-selling for accurate targeting and site selection; 4) proven execution for profitable store management with ~80% aesthetic centers generating +ve op cash flow in 1Q. We see meaningful catalysts to drive stock price further if: 1) improving monthly sales for flagship stores in Jun (e.g. Beijing Baoli); 2) potential exploration of full managed franchising model by end 2025; 3) solid exclusive product pipeline until 2027E.' (To watch Cheung's track record, click here) Looking forward, Cheung rates this stock as a Buy, with a $5.50 price target that suggests a one-year gain for the stock of 30%. Cheung's is the only analyst review on file for this stock, which is currently trading for $4.24.

Zacks.com featured highlights Urban Outfitters, Royal Gold and Kodiak Gas Services

Chicago, IL – July 10, 2025 – The stocks in this week's article are Urban Outfitters, Inc. URBN, Royal Gold, Inc. RGLD and Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. KGS. The broader U.S. equity markets have witnessed a steady downtrend over the past couple of days as President Trump reignited the tariff war with a slew of proposed tariffs on imported goods from 14 countries, including major trading partners and allies, Japan and South Korea. The charges are scheduled to be levied from August, with more countries likely to be added to the list in the coming days. Although the doors are kept wide open for negotiations, the sudden shift in the tariff policy has led to heightened market uncertainty, financial market turmoil and sent policymakers scrambling to protect their economies. Amid the vagaries of the market and related uncertainty, investors often seek to employ time-tested winning strategies to fetch sustained profits. One of the most successful game plans to beat the blues is to bet on momentum stocks, like Urban Outfitters, Inc., Royal Gold, Inc. and Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. when value or growth investing fails to generate the desired profits. This approach primarily tends to follow the adage, 'the trend is your friend.' At its core, momentum investing is 'buying high and selling higher.' It is based on the idea that once a stock establishes a trend, it is more likely to continue in that direction because of the momentum that is already behind it. Momentum investing is a way to profit from the general human tendency to extrapolate current trends into the future. It is based on that gap in time before the mean reversion occurs, i.e., before prices become rational again. Momentum strategies have been known to be alpha-generative over a long period and across market stages. So, this strategy is quite tricky to implement, as detecting these trends is no child's play. Here, we have created a strategy to help investors get in on these fast movers and rake in handsome gains. Our screen will help you benefit from both long-term price momentum and a short-term pullback in price. Here are three stocks out of the seven that made it through this screen: Based in Philadelphia, PA, Urban Outfitters is a lifestyle specialty retailer that offers fashion apparel and accessories, footwear, home décor and gift products. The company's merchandise is generally sold directly to consumers through stores, catalogs, call centers and e-commerce platforms. Urban Outfitters has operations in the United States, Canada and Europe. The stock has surged 63.6% in the past year but declined 4.2% in the past week. Urban Outfitters has a Momentum Score of B. Based in Denver, CO, Royal Gold acquires and manages precious metals stream and royalty interests, with a primary focus on gold. The company generates strong cash flows from a large and well-diversified portfolio of precious metal streams, royalties and similar production-based interests located in mining-friendly jurisdictions. The stock has rallied 22% in the past year but lost 9.8% in the past week. Royal Gold has a Momentum Score of A. Headquartered in The Woodlands, TX, Kodiak Gas Services operates contract compression infrastructure for customers in the oil and gas industry in the United States. It provides services to oil and gas producers and midstream customers in high–volume gas gathering systems, processing facilities, multi-well gas lift applications and natural gas transmission systems, serving as a critical link in the infrastructure that enables the safe and reliable production and transportation of natural gas and oil.

Are You Looking for a Top Momentum Pick? Why Perimeter Solutions, SA (PRM) is a Great Choice

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades. While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us. Below, we take a look at Perimeter Solutions, SA (PRM), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score. It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Perimeter Solutions, SA currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period. You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>> In order to see if PRM is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this company holds up. A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area. For PRM, shares are up 5.27% over the past week while the Zacks Chemical - Specialty industry is up 3.31% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 21.66% compares favorably with the industry's 3.05% performance as well. While any stock can see its price increase, it takes a real winner to consistently beat the market. That is why looking at longer term price metrics -- such as performance over the past three months or year -- can be useful as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Perimeter Solutions, SA have risen 58.66%, and are up 93.58% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 16.66% and 14.76%, respectively. Investors should also pay attention to PRM's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. PRM is currently averaging 1,089,739 shares for the last 20 days. The Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with PRM. Over the past two months, 1 earnings estimate moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost PRM's consensus estimate, increasing from $0.68 to $1.14 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 1 estimate has moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period. Taking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that PRM is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of B. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Perimeter Solutions, SA on your short list.

Acadian Asset Management (AAMI) is a Great Momentum Stock: Should You Buy?

Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades. Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us. Below, we take a look at Acadian Asset Management (AAMI), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score. It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Acadian Asset Management currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period. You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>> In order to see if AAMI is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this asset manager holds up. Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area. For AAMI, shares are up 11.41% over the past week while the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry is up 3.35% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 22.5% compares favorably with the industry's 7.02% performance as well. While any stock can see a spike in price, it takes a real winner to consistently outperform the market. Shares of Acadian Asset Management have increased 40.86% over the past quarter, and have gained 61.47% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 10.24% and 14.41%, respectively. Investors should also take note of AAMI's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now, AAMI is averaging 241,693 shares for the last 20 days. The Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with AAMI. Over the past two months, 1 earnings estimate moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost AAMI's consensus estimate, increasing from $2.65 to $3.18 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 1 estimate has moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period. Given these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that AAMI is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of A. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Acadian Asset Management on your short list. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
