Momentum · Industrials
Strongest Industrials stocks by momentum.
As of 13 November 2026
Note of : Onterris's shares trade on a board-led strategic review that has engaged outside buyers and on a third-quarter cash flow recovery; a review outcome and fourth-quarter operating cash flow against the $30.0M–$40.0M guide settle the case.
Note of : Upbound Group's tighter Acima lending is lifting profit and cash flow as lease volume shrinks, Brigit adds growth, and executives kept buying stock; the late-February 2027 Q4 report shows whether Acima volume levels off as guided.
Research view: more likely to lag the S&P 500. Note of : Frontier Group Holdings (Frontier Airlines) shares are more likely to lag the S&P 500: a $7.70 close on 12 November 2026 sits above most post-report targets as officers sold stock.
Research view: more likely to lead the S&P 500. TrueBlue's staffing recovery is in reported results (third-quarter revenue $520.7 million, fourth-quarter outlook $499–519 million), so the shares are more likely to lead the S&P 500 over three months; the late-February 2027 report tests gross margin.
Research view: more likely to lead the S&P 500. Note of : Firefly Aerospace's third-quarter beat, raised revenue floor and record $1.7 billion backlog make its shares modestly likely to beat the S&P 500; the fourth-quarter Alpha Block II debut settles whether launches carry the $440–450 million 2026 guide.
Research view: more likely to lag the S&P 500. Note of : Hayward Holdings' raised 2026 guidance is already priced into shares trading above most broker targets, so they are more likely to lag the S&P 500; the late-February 2027 fourth-quarter report shows whether early-buy orders become sales.
Research view: more likely to lag the S&P 500. Note of : Ultralife Corporation trades as a capped claim on EnerSys's $16.00-per-share cash offer, so it is more likely to lag the S&P 500 than lead it; US and UK clearances and the tender, first due to expire on 3 December 2026, settle whether holders are paid.
Research view: more likely to lag the S&P 500. Note of : ADT Inc. trades as a pending $10.00-per-share cash buyout by Thrive Holdings, so its shares are more likely to lag the S&P 500 than lead it.
“3 months” is the stock's market price change over the last three months, not a FrontierPicks return. The "3 months" column is the stock's 3-month price move, one of the three inputs to that score, weighted 20% — not the ranking itself, so rows do not descend in it. “priced on a deal” marks a stock whose price tracks a pending takeover offer or other deal; a stock on a takeover offer is listed after the rest.
How this ranking works
Stocks are ordered by a composite momentum score — 1-month price trend 50%, 3-month trend 20% and acceleration 30% — computed arithmetically from daily closing prices, through the last completed session. No model sets the order. It is a screen of moves already made, not a buy list, rating or price target. A stock's research note can disagree with its momentum: where the note states a call, the row shows it as its research view.
