GM, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock GLDD, BrightSpring Health Services BTSG and Everus Construction Group ECG.GM and 4 Stocks with Relative Price Strength to Buy NowU.S. stocks continue to show impressive strength, with major indexes climbing steadily and sentiment improving on solid economic data and ongoing hopes for another policy cut. Investors appear encouraged by easing inflation pressures and healthy consumer spending, which together signal that the recovery remains durable. Even routine volatility has been met with buying, suggesting confidence beneath the surface.Expectations for further monetary easing have added to the positive tone. The market is entering a historically strong period, and companies have just delivered another round of upbeat earnings. With growth forecasts improving and the broader economy holding up well, the backdrop looks supportive for risk assets. Any short-term weakness is increasingly seen as a chance to add rather than reduce exposure.In this kind of an environment, relative price strength becomes a practical strategy — helping investors focus on stocks that continue to outperform the market and allowing them to stay aligned with leadership as the uptrend develops.At this stage, investors would be wise to consider stocks such as Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd., General Motors Co., Great Lakes Dredge & Dock, BrightSpring Health Services and Everus Construction Group based on their relative price strength.Relative Price Strength StrategyInvestors generally gauge a stock's potential returns by examining earnings growth and valuation multiples. At the same time, it's essential to measure the performance of such a stock relative to its industry, peers, or an appropriate benchmark.If you see that a stock is underperforming on fundamental factors, it would be prudent to move on and find a better alternative. However, those outperforming their respective sectors in terms of price should be selected because they stand a better chance of providing considerable returns.Then again, it is imperative that you determine whether or not an investment has relevant upside potential when considering stocks with significant relative price strength. Stocks delivering better than the S&P 500 for 1 to 3 months, at least, and having solid fundamentals, indicate room for growth and are the best ways to go about this strategy.Finally, it is crucial to find out whether analysts are optimistic about the upcoming earnings of these companies.
