Where Price Meets Fundamentals: Ten Top Stocks with "Twin Momentum"

The Twin Momentum strategy combines price momentum with improving fundamentals to deliver enhanced market returns. This approach integrates traditional price analysis with fundamental evaluation to create a powerful stock selection framework. By targeting only companies in the top 20% for both price and fundamental momentum, this method focuses on truly exceptional investment candidates.

For measuring fundamental strength, Twin Momentum analyzes seven critical financial metrics:

  • Earnings growth
  • Return on equity (ROE)
  • Return on assets (ROA)
  • Accrual operating profitability to equity
  • Cash operating profitability to assets
  • Gross profit to assets
  • Net payout ratio

Pioneered by financial researcher Dashan Huang and documented in his “Twin Momentum” paper, this strategy represents a meaningful evolution in quantitative investing. By requiring excellence in both technical and fundamental aspects, Twin Momentum establishes a rigorous screening process that may lower risk while boosting returns—addressing key limitations of single-factor momentum strategies.

Here are the top twin momentum stocks for March of 2025.
