As of 15 November 2026
Research view: more likely to lead the S&P 500. Note of : Portillo's turned same-restaurant sales positive and raised adjusted EBITDA guidance to $98–$101 million on 5 November 2026, leaving the shares modestly likelier than not to beat the S&P 500.
Note of : Arhaus's furniture orders are running far ahead of deliveries, giving the shares a modest edge over the S&P 500: Q3 2026 comparable written sales rose 13.9% and client deposits reached $325.0 million.
Note of : Capri Holdings' Michael Kors turnaround gives the shares a modest edge over the S&P 500 after the 30 October 2026 beat-and-raise, despite a CEO handover on 4 January 2027.
Research view: more likely to lead the S&P 500. Note of : The RealReal's 29 October 2026 beat and raise, with luxury-resale GMV up 23%, makes the shares modestly likely to beat the S&P 500; the fourth-quarter report must deliver the guided $27.5–29.0 million of adjusted EBITDA.
Research view: more likely to lag the S&P 500. Note of : Bob's Discount Furniture shares look more likely to lag the S&P 500 as a diesel-driven gross margin cut and a 30% furniture tariff from 1 January 2027 weigh on a stock already near analyst targets.
“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.

These are the names FrontierPicks researches in the consumer retail stocks theme, each with a dated research note. Names in the latest top-50 momentum scan come first, 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; the rest follow by the research's conviction, highest first. The research decides which stocks belong to each theme; this one currently reads as maturing: still rising, more slowly.
