Strong Prices, But How Strong Are The Businesses?
Apple (AAPL) trades at 39.6 times trailing earnings, grew revenue 14.2% over the last twelve months and earned an operating margin of 33.2%.
Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) trades at 13.7 times trailing earnings and grew revenue 10.4% over the last twelve months.
Across the list, one-month moves range from +3.3% for Apple (AAPL) to +35.5% for Hasbro (HAS).
Over the past year, the median name here is up 27.2%.
A new high tells you what the market already believes. The harder question is which of these runs management itself is underwriting. Our Guidance Momentum screen tracks exactly that: stocks where the company raised its own forward numbers.
New Highs Fade. Discipline Compounds
Some of the names on this list will keep setting highs for years, and some are at the top of their run right now. Sorting one from the other, name by name, every day, is the work most investors never keep up with.
That sorting is what the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio does systematically: about 30 quality businesses screened for the fundamentals that sustain a run, held with rules instead of excitement. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the Russell 2000. Use the high list for ideas; use the portfolio for the compounding.
