  • Shares are up more than 240% over the past year.

Today’s Featured Stock

Valued at $14.97 billion, Sterling Infrastructure (STRL) operates through subsidiaries within segments specializing in e-infrastructure, building, and transportation solutions. 

What I’m Watching 

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with the highest technical buy signals; superior current momentum in both strength and direction; and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. STRL checks those boxes. The Trend Seeker issued a new “Buy” signal on April 14. Since then, the stock has gained 6.89%.
