5 Green Days In A Row: APi Stock Is Up 16%
Shares of APi (APG) have closed higher in each of the last 5 sessions, a cumulative gain of 16.0%. That added about $2.7 billion to the company's market value, which now stands at about $19.5 billion. The stock closed at $45.02 on Thursday, October 29, 8.9% below its 52-week high of $49.40 and 30.6% above its low of $34.46.
The Streak Next To The S&P 500
Returns for APG and the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it, all ending Thursday, October 29 and including dividends:
| Return Period | APG | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 8.9% | -0.3% |
| 5 Days (Current Streak) | 16.0% | 0.8% |
| 1 Month (21 Trading Days) | 16.6% | 1.0% |
| 3 Months (63 Trading Days) | 13.5% | 3.3% |
| Year To Date | 17.7% | 13.8% |
| 1 Year (252 Trading Days) | 31.2% | 13.3% |
A Stock-Specific Run, Or A Market Move?
Over the same 5 trading days, the S&P 500 returned +0.8% including dividends, so the run is mostly APi's own story rather than the market's. Over the past three months the stock is up 13.5%, a window that includes the streak; over the other 58 sessions of that window it was down 2.2%.
Is The Business Keeping Up With The Stock?
On the fundamentals, revenue grew 14.1% over the last twelve months, against a median of 7.9% for S&P 500 Industrials stocks; its operating margin is 7.2%, versus a median of 17.6%; and the stock trades at 56.3 times trailing earnings against a median of 26.9. The numbers make the run harder to justify: margins below the median and a multiple well above the median. At this price, the stock is asking a lot of the business.
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.
