Market Report

Tier 1 — Strongest Bullish Sectors

Technology Hardware & Equipment (avg momentum +4.3%, n=41, 95% of names positive — the broadest, most decisive bullish signal )

This is a huge, high-conviction sample and it lines up exactly with the Tech leadership theme running through both prior equity reports (S&P 500 IT sector index, CrowdStrike/Synopsys momentum). Trend buy: TTM Technologies (TTMI) — long-term stoch only 39.3 but fast stoch already 69.7 and momentum +17.2%, the strongest reading in this dataset. Reversal buy: Semtech Corp (SMTC) — 65.4/58.3/61.6, momentum +16.9%, a broad-based semiconductor recovery, not yet overbought long-term. Dell (+8.9%) reappears here too, confirming the pick from the S&P report. Sell: AXT Inc (AXTI) — momentum -3.8%, the only clearly negative name of size in an otherwise uniformly strong sector — a genuine laggard.

Retailers (avg momentum +4.3%, but driven almost entirely by one name)

Trend buy: Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) — momentum +36.7%, by far the single most extreme reading in this dataset — overbought on every timeframe (91.7/86.2/84.7) and still accelerating hard; treat this as a name that has already made its move rather than an entry point. Reversal buy: Kohl’s (KSS) — long-term stoch only 46.5 but fast stoch has jumped to 75.6, momentum +2.1%, a much earlier-stage recovery than Abercrombie. Sell: Liquidity Services (LQDT) — momentum -3.6% despite an overbought long-term reading (88.8), a divergence sell.

Software & Computer Services (avg momentum +2.6%, n=30, 73% positive)

Continues the Tech theme. Trend buy: Fortinet (FTNT) — 95.5/71.8/82, momentum +10.5% (this name also topped the S&P 500 screen previously). Reversal buy: Monday.com (MNDY) — long-term stoch just 38 but fast stoch 87.7 and momentum +5.1%, an earlier-stage version of the same move. Sell: GameSquare Holdings (GAME) — momentum -4.1%, weak on every timeframe.

Industrial Metals & Mining (avg momentum +2.6%, n=10, 80% positive)

A fourth independent confirmation of the Industrial Metals theme now running through every report so far (commodities → FTSE sector index → S&P/Steel large-caps → small-cap miners → and now this mid-cap batch). Trend buy: Materion Corp (MTRN) — 67.7/17.8/57.8, momentum +8.8% (this name also appeared with the same strong reading in the metals/energy file — a consistent signal). Reversal buy: Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) — long-term stoch just 9.1 but fast stoch already 56.7, momentum +1.9%, an early-stage recovery in battery-metals exposure. Sell: Uranium Royalty Corp (UROY) — momentum -2.1%, the sector’s weakest print.

Industrial Support Services (avg momentum +2.2%, n=7)

Trend buy: CareDx (CDNA) — 93.3/84.3/63.8, momentum +6.2%. Reversal buy: Veracyte (VCYT) — long-term stoch only 47.2 but fast stoch 72.7, momentum +5.7% — earlier-stage than CareDx. Sell: Huron Consulting (HURN) — momentum -3.3%, the weakest name in the group.

Tier 2 — Moderately Bullish Sectors

Oil, Gas & Coal (avg momentum +1.1%, n=16, 69% positive)

Mixed, consistent with the subsector split already established in the metals/energy report. Trend buy: NGL Energy Partners — 90.2/75.4/87, momentum +6.4%. Reversal buy: Core Natural Resources (CNR) — long-term stoch just 66.7 with fast stoch 89.4 and momentum +5.4% — a coal name, again matching the standalone Coal strength flagged previously. Sell: Sable Offshore (SOC) — momentum -11.5%, the same extreme-weak reading that also topped the sell list in the metals/energy file — this name shows up as the worst mover across two separate datasets now, a high-conviction short.

Investment Banking & Brokerage Services (avg momentum +1.1%, n=14)

Trend buy: Nomura Holdings (NMR) — 98.4/92.4/90.9, momentum +5.4%. Sell: Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR) — momentum -5.8%, by far the weakest name in the group.

Non-life Insurance (avg momentum +0.7%, n=10, 80% positive)

Trend buy: Slide Insurance Holdings (SLDE) — 96.8/82.2/75, momentum +0.9%, modest but broad-based sector strength (80% of names positive). Sell: Mercury General (MCY) — momentum -1.7%, the sector’s laggard.

Tier 3 — Bearish Sectors

Industrial Transportation (avg momentum -0.7%, n=11, only 18% positive)

Sell: nothing extreme here, but broadly weak — TFI International (-1.6%) and Heartland Express (-1.7%) both fading on every timeframe. Trend buy (the exception): Expeditors International (EXPD) — 98.1/92.5/81.7, momentum +1.7%, the one clear standout in an otherwise soft sector (also flagged in the S&P report).

Medical Equipment & Services (avg momentum -1.4%, n=7, only 14% positive)

Sell: Delcath Systems (DCTH) — momentum -3.3%, alongside Repligen (-2.1%) — broadly weak sector. Trend buy (exception): Envista Holdings (NVST) — momentum +1.5%, the lone positive name of size.

Media (avg momentum -1.9%, n=4)

Sell: QuinStreet (QNST) — momentum -6.65%, by far the weakest reading in the sector.

Automobiles & Parts (avg momentum -2.9%, n=2)

Small sample but directly consistent with the confirmed Automobiles & Parts weakness from the S&P 500 report (Aptiv). Sell: Honda Motor (HMC) — momentum -4.8%, oversold nowhere yet (fast stoch just 24.3) — a genuine downtrend, not a reversal setup.

Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology & Cannabis (avg momentum -3.2%, n=9, only 22% positive)

Sell: BioXcel Therapeutics (BTAI) — momentum -22.4%, oversold on every single timeframe (1.14/6.04/5.17) — by a wide margin the most extreme reading in this entire dataset, a severe breakdown. This extends the Pharma/Biotech weakness already flagged in the S&P 500 report (Moderna, Eli Lilly) — a third consecutive report confirming this sector as one of the weakest across the whole screen. Reversal watch: NextCure (NXTC) — long-term stoch just 31.8 with momentum turning positive (+3.1%), one of the only names bucking the sector’s weakness.

Cross-Report Synthesis (four datasets now)

Technology remains the dominant bullish theme across every single report so far — S&P 500 sector indices → Software/CrowdStrike-Salesforce large-caps → and now this file’s Tech Hardware & Equipment sector at +4.3% average momentum with 95% of names positive, the single broadest bullish reading across all four datasets combined.
Industrial Metals & Mining is now confirmed a fourth time — commodities → FTSE sector index → Nucor/Steel Dynamics → small-cap miners → and now Materion/Kaiser Aluminum/ATI in this batch. This is the highest-conviction, most repeatedly-confirmed theme in the entire screening exercise.
Sable Offshore Corp (SOC) is now a repeated, high-conviction sell — its -11.5% momentum reading appears identically in both this file and the metals/energy file, making it one of the single most reliably weak names across the whole exercise.
Automobiles & Parts and Pharma/Biotech are now each confirmed weak across three separate reports — Aptiv/Honda for autos, and Moderna/Eli Lilly/BioXcel for pharma/biotech — both sectors are consistently showing up on the sell side no matter which slice of the market is screened.
