3 High-Momentum Stocks to Buy Now Before They Surge

The article is a Zacks momentum-screening piece highlighting three stocks with strong technical and earnings characteristics: Alphabet, MasTec, and Goldman Sachs. It argues that momentum investors using Richard Driehaus-style criteria should favor stocks trading above their 50-day moving averages with strong earnings surprise histories and projected earnings growth. Alphabet is cited with an 86.7% average trailing four-quarter earnings surprise and 32.7% expected earnings growth; MasTec with 15.4% and 46.3%; Goldman Sachs with 20.4% and 34.1%. The broader takeaway is bullish for these names, but the piece is largely a stock-picking commentary rather than news of a specific catalyst, so market impact is mainly sentiment-driven rather than event-driven.
