Momentum is one of the most replicated findings in academic finance: stocks that have outperformed recently tend to keep outperforming over 3–12 month horizons. The QScore momentum category combines 12-month, 3-month, and 1-month returns with RSI(14) and the 50/200-day moving-average crossover.

The list below is the top of the universe ranked purely by momentum factor score. Composite QScore and signal are shown for context — a high momentum score doesn't necessarily mean Buy unless the rest of the factor stack supports it.
