Computer software and hardware is the dominant US stock market leadership group today, ranked No. 2 with a 93 composite rating and a stunning 272% YTD gain. Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), and Microsoft (MSFT) remain the institutional favorites powering this group, as AI infrastructure demand keeps earnings estimates rising. Business equipment and supplies (Rank 4, +51% YTD) adds a second industrial growth engine, with names like Fastenal (FAST) and Grainger (GWW) benefiting from steady capex spending.
Gold and silver miners (Rank 38, +3% today) are flashing defensive strength, lifting Barrick Mining (B) and Newmont (NEM) as investors hedge macro risk. Medical hospitals (Rank 48) and electronic contract manufacturing (Rank 49, +51% YTD) also drew buyers, with HCA Healthcare (HCA) and Jabil (JBL) showing relative strength. Cannabis (Rank 14, +6%) posted the day’s biggest pop, though its weak 73 composite and flat YTD keep it speculative.
On the red side, Wall Street sold internet content (Rank 47), retail internet (Rank 58), and regional banks (Rank 71, +12% YTD) as money rotated out of financials and consumer-facing tech. Managed care (Rank 82) and specialty software (Rank 138, -36% YTD) remain broken. The clear implication: capital is flowing from rate-sensitive financials and lagging internet names into AI hardware, industrials, and select defensives like gold.
CAN SLIM takeaway: Focus on top-ranked groups with strong composite ratings and rising YTD performance. NVDA, AVGO, and JBL offer the best combination of institutional sponsorship and momentum, while lagging financial and internet groups should be avoided until their relative strength improves.
