| 10 | GNRC | Generac | -3.4% | 22.5% |
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 them, we find F5 (FFIV) attractive while Arista Networks (ANET) looks attractive but volatile.
Individual stocks swing, but a balanced asset allocation doesn’t. Trefis’ Boston-based wealth management partner blends strategy and discipline to smooth out market noise.
