For Immediate ReleaseChicago, IL – January 29, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are First Horizon Corp. FHN, MasTec, Inc. MTZ and Marvell Technology, Inc. MRVL.3 Momentum Anomaly Stocks to Buy as Market Falters on AI ConcernsThe broader U.S. equity markets witnessed intense volatility over the past couple of trading days, hitting record highs on one hand and plummeting sharply on the other owing to concerns about an AI (artificial intelligence) stock bubble. While President Trump's advocacy for lower interest rates and lower oil prices buoyed investor sentiments, the stock market was propelled by positive vibes about potential tax cuts and deregulation by the change of regime and signs of resilient economic growth.However, apprehensions related to U.S. tech supremacy and innovation, with a China-based startup DeepSeek offering AI innovations at a fraction of the cost, have put an entire ecosystem built around massive AI investments in jeopardy. This forced blue-chip tech firms to go into a tailspin, rattling overall markets. Amid the uncertainty, investors often seek to employ time-tested winning strategies to fetch sustained profits. One of the most successful game plans to beat the blues is to bet on momentum stocks, like First Horizon Corp., MasTec, Inc. and Marvell Technology, Inc., when value or growth investing fails to generate the desired profits.This approach primarily tends to follow the adage, "the trend is your friend." At its core, momentum investing is "buying high and selling higher." It is based on the idea that once a stock establishes a trend, it is more likely to continue in that direction because of the momentum that is already behind it. Momentum investing is a way to profit from the general human tendency to extrapolate current trends into the future. It is based on that gap in time before the mean reversion occurs, i.e., before prices become rational again.Momentum strategies have been known to be alpha-generative over a long period and across market stages. So, this strategy is quite tricky to implement, as detecting these trends is no child's play. Here, we have created a strategy to help investors get in on these fast movers and rake in handsome gains. Our screen will help you benefit from both long-term price momentum and a short-term pullback in price.Here are three stocks out of the six that made it through this screen:Based in Memphis, TN, First Horizon is a financial services firm.
