US Momentum Screen

1Oak Research tracks US-listed common stocks currently exhibiting momentum characteristics — strong recent price trends, elevated trading volume, or a specific catalyst such as an earnings beat or analyst upgrade. Two independent research passes each screen the market using a different method and are cross-checked against each other; stocks flagged by both are ranked first. This is a market-monitoring exercise, not a 1Oak Research product or strategy.
