Why does this matter? Significant stock moves – up or down – deserve your attention. Sharp declines in fundamentally strong names can offer smart buying opportunities. And when momentum aligns with solid fundamentals, riding the trend can be highly rewarding. Among these stocks, we find Centene (CNC) and Omnicom (OMC) attractive.
No matter where SPX stock goes, your portfolio should stay on track. See how the Trefis High Quality Portfolio can help you do that.
