It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors.
Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.
Different than value or growth investors, momentum-oriented investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
Headquartered in Waukesha, WI, and founded in 1959, Generac Holdings Inc is a leading manufacturer of backup and prime power generation systems for residential and C&I applications, solar + battery storage solutions, advanced power grid software platforms and services, energy management devices and controls along with engine and battery-powered tools and equipment.
GNRC is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, with a Momentum Style Score of B and VGM Score of B. Shares are up 9.8% over the past one week and up 6.3% over the past four weeks. GNRC has gained 75.2% in the last one-year period as well. Looking at trading volume, an average of 860,480.38 shares exchanged hands over the last 20 trading days.
A company's earnings performance is important for momentum investors as well. For fiscal 2024, nine analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for GNRC, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.31 to $6.80 per share. GNRC also boasts an average earnings surprise of 10.8%.
GNRC should be on investors' short list because of its impressive earnings fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and strong Momentum and VGM Style Scores.
