Takeaway
What this screen is showing
This is a momentum-and-concentration screen: names above $2B market cap that are sitting at or within 1% of a 52-week high, ranked by three-month price return. Because the filter requires new highs, everything here already has positive trend structure — what the ranking reveals is where the market is willing to pay up.
The pattern: software infrastructure and health care
Leadership is heavily skewed toward Information Technology (roughly half the list), and specifically toward software infrastructure, storage and cybersecurity — Rubrik, Okta, GitLab, SentinelOne, Qualys, Palo Alto, NetApp, Cloudflare, Nutanix. That matches the current tape: cybersecurity and enterprise cloud software have the highest participation in the entire market, and data-infrastructure names are being re-underwritten as AI capacity demand proves durable rather than transient. A second cluster sits in Health Care — Moderna, Kodiak, Veeva, Haemonetics, Integer, Novavax — consistent with a sector that is quietly turning from funding source to accumulation target on M&A and policy catalysts.
Two other pockets worth noting
Energy and shipping appear repeatedly (Frontline, Teekay Tankers, HF Sinclair, PBR, Ultrapar, Danaos, Suncor-like integrated oil), reflecting strong crude, refined-product and freight economics rather than anything AI-related. Separately, several Latin American names — XP, Petrobras, Ultrapar, Ternium — are riding a broad Brazilian and LatAm equity bid that has been one of the strongest cross-asset moves of the period.
How to read the columns
- % from 52W High near zero means the stock is at the top of its range — the screen cap is -1%, so a handful of rows are a fraction below the high rather than exactly at it.
- % from 150D SMA shows how extended each trend is; values far above 100 (Moderna, Kodiak) indicate parabolic moves that are more vulnerable to mean reversion.
- Rel Volume above 1 means the move is happening on above-average turnover — confirmation rather than drift.
- Days Since Last Earnings is a freshness gauge: low single-digit values mean the trend is being driven by a just-reported quarter, while higher values mean the move is carrying on without a recent fundamental catalyst — and with Q3 reporting season imminent, positioning into prints matters.
- Technical Pattern flags the active trend, channel and breakout states; several names show Break-above signals, indicating a fresh push through a prior level rather than a slow grind.
The risk framing
New-high momentum lists are, by construction, crowded. The frequent failure mode is not the trend breaking — it is an earnings print or guidance reset that invalidates the move while the price is already extended. With a large share of the market reporting over the next two weeks, the names furthest above their 150-day average and furthest from a fundamental catalyst carry the highest event risk.
