Viavi Solutions Stock: 13 Straight Green Days, Up 40%
Viavi Solutions (VIAV) stock has risen for 13 consecutive trading days, gaining 39.5% over that stretch. That added about $3.2 billion to the company's market value, which now stands at about $11.3 billion. The stock closed at $47.10 on Friday, October 2, 14.9% below its 52-week high of $55.33 and 283.9% above its low of $12.27.
How The Streak Stacks Up Against The S&P 500
Returns for VIAV and the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it, all ending Friday, October 2 and including dividends:
| Return Period | VIAV | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 5.2% | 0.7% |
| 13 Days (Current Streak) | 39.5% | 1.8% |
| 1 Month (21 Trading Days) | 36.5% | 0.8% |
| 3 Months (63 Trading Days) | 11.0% | 2.7% |
| Year To Date | 164.3% | 13.8% |
| 1 Year (252 Trading Days) | 268.3% | 16.4% |
A Stock-Specific Run, Or A Market Move?
Over the same 13 trading days, the S&P 500 returned +1.8% including dividends, so the run is mostly Viavi Solutions' own story rather than the market's. Over the past three months the stock is up 11.0%, a window that includes the streak; over the other 50 sessions of that window it was down 20.4%.
What The Numbers Say About The Rally
On the fundamentals, revenue grew 40.0% over the last twelve months, against a median of 17.9% for S&P 500 Information Technology stocks; and its operating margin is 8.0%, versus a median of 21.7%. Viavi Solutions does not have positive trailing earnings, so there is no meaningful price-to-earnings multiple to compare. The read is mixed: revenue growth above the median on one side, margins below the median on the other.
A climb like this is worth respecting, and worth testing. Our Guidance Momentum screen tracks the stocks whose companies just raised their own forward numbers.
Momentum Is A Tailwind, Not A Plan
Riding a stock that rises every day feels effortless, and that is precisely the danger: the same momentum that built this run can reverse without notice, and one name's reversal should never be able to reset your whole year.
That is what the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio is for: about 30 quality businesses screened for the fundamentals that survive momentum's mood swings, held with rules. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the Russell 2000. Watch the runs; own the resilience.
