PRSC and NIC Inc. EGOV.5 Stocks with Recent Price Strength on Covid-19 Vaccine HopesWall Street has regained momentum in November after facing severe volatility in the last two months. Notably, U.S. stock markets witnessed an astonishing rally from April to August, terminating the coronavirus-led short bear market.However, the resurgence of coronavirus cases, uncertainty regarding a fresh fiscal stimulus and election-related volatilities resulted in the market turmoil in September and October.However, encouraging news on the COVID-19 treatment front and hopes of a vaccine in the near future has significantly strengthened market participants' confidence in risky assets like equities. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine in the near future means that the economy can reopen and gradually operate at the pre-pandemic rate.On Nov 9, Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their jointly developed potential vaccine BNT162b2 was more than 90% effective in the late-stage study. On Nov 10, the FDA had granted emergency authorization to a COVID-19 antibody treatment made by Eli Lilly.On Nov 16, Moderna reported that its preliminary phase III clinical trial data showed that its potential coronavirus vaccine is more than 94% effective in preventing COVID-19.At this stage, wouldn’t it be a safer strategy to look for stocks that are winners and have the potential to gain further?Sounds Good? Here’s How to Execute It:One should primarily target stocks that have freshly been on a bull run. Actually, stocks seeing price strength recently have a high chance of carrying the momentum forward.If a stock is continuously witnessing an uptrend, there must be a solid reason or else it would have probably crashed. So, looking at stocks that are capable of beating the benchmark that they have set for themselves seems rational.However, recent price strength alone cannot create magic. Therefore, you need to set other relevant parameters to create a successful investment strategy.Here’s how you should create the screen to shortlist the current as well as the potential winners.For the rest of this Screen of the Week article please visit Zacks.com at: https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/1103166/5-stocks-with-recent-price-strength-on-covid19-vaccine-hopesDisclosure: Officers, directors and/or employees of Zacks Investment Research may own or have sold short securities and/or hold long and/or short positions in options that are mentioned in this material.
