For Immediate ReleaseChicago, IL – December 19, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are Dillard's, Inc. DDS, Sanmina Corporation SANM and CommScope Holding Company, Inc. COMMBuy 3 Momentum Anomaly Stocks as Markets Fall in the Last Leg of 2025The broader U.S. equity markets witnessed a downtrend over the past few days, exhibiting a four-day losing streak on concerns regarding the economic health and the increasing valuation of AI firms. Industry experts widely expect that growth in AI firms would not be commensurate with hefty investments, leading to a market correction in the near term. Moreover, despite better-than-expected job additions of 64,000 in November compared to broad-based expectations of 45,000 job additions, the unemployment rate increased to a four-year high of 4.6%, casting aspersions on the state of the economy.Volatility in crude oil prices added to the woes. U.S. crude oil prices reportedly fell to the lowest levels since 2021 as a looming surplus weighed on the market. Amid the vagaries of the market, 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 Dillard's, Inc., Sanmina Corporation and CommScope Holding Company, 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. Therefore, 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.
