Are You Looking for a Top Momentum Pick? Why Old Republic International (ORI) is a Great Choice
Werte in diesem Artikel
Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.Below, we take a look at Old Republic International (ORI), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Old Republic International currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period.You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>Set to Beat the Market?Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for ORI that show why this insurance underwriter shows promise as a solid momentum pick.A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.For ORI, shares are up 0.5% over the past week while the Zacks Insurance - Multi line industry is up 0.21% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 3.07% compares favorably with the industry's 4.44% performance as well.While any stock can see a spike in price, it takes a real winner to consistently outperform the market. Shares of Old Republic International have increased 7.42% over the past quarter, and have gained 32.79% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 3.88% and 24.54%, respectively.Investors should also pay attention to ORI's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. ORI is currently averaging 1,120,953 shares for the last 20 days.Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with ORI.Over the past two months, 2 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost ORI's consensus estimate, increasing from $3.08 to $3.18 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 2 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.Bottom LineGiven these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that ORI is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of A.
