QMA

Top Momentum Stocks 2026 — QMA ranking

Stocks with strongest price momentum — high RS, TSS, positive USS seasonal window. For short/medium-term traders.

Why this list

Momentum strategy is an academically documented anomaly (Fama-French 4th factor). Stocks that led the past 3–12 months statistically continue leading for 3–6 more months. QMA filter: RS ≥ 75, TSS ≥ 70, USS ≥ 60, composite ≥ 65. Momentum is trend-following — it does not call tops.

This top momentum stocks ranking is assembled by the QMA analytical engine from the current composite score and this category's filters — sorted from the highest rating. Recomputed daily. It is not a backtest result. This is a descriptive analytical assessment, not investment advice.
