What is the point? Stocks near 52-week highs signal strong momentum and investor conviction. This level often serves as an anchor for investor expectations and can trigger further institutional buying. It is not just a number, but a potential continuation setup. But fundamentals matter when evaluating such stocks. Among these stocks, we find Broadcom (AVGO) and AppLovin (APP) attractive but volatile.
Confident that the current high in these stocks is just one of many to come? That might very well be true, but stock picking – no matter how good it looks now – comes with risks. On the other hand, the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
