Midweek Movers: where the model's view shifted this week
Every trading day the model re-scores all 526 stocks in its universe. Midweek Movers looks at what changed over the past week: the three S&P 500 stocks whose model score improved the most since September 30 and that now rank among the top 100 (BE from outside the top 100 into the top 25; SNDK from outside the top 100 into the top 10; LITE from outside the top 100 into the top 50). At the sector level, Information Technology gained the most ground (+29 points on the model's 0-100 sector scale) and Real Estate lost the most (-23).
Model rank: top 25 of 526 (a week ago: outside the top 100) · P/E 0.8x · 3-month return +16.3%
Growth at a reasonable price — sales up 57% over the past year, a P/E of 1 against 39 for its industry, earnings expectations trending higher and a strong price trend. Main risk: profitability is low (operating margin 7%). In the news: Yahoo Finance (Sep 30): Jefferies Just Raised Its Bloom Energy Price Target -- Stock Jumps 10%. Next catalyst: earnings on Oct 26.
BE: six months against its sector and the S&P 500

Model rank: top 50 of 526 (a week ago: outside the top 100) · P/E -8.8x · 3-month return +60.3%
A fast grower with the price trend behind it — sales up 83% over the past year, earnings expectations trending higher and last quarter's EPS beat the estimate by 9%. Main risk: it is not profitable on a trailing basis, so the price rests on future earnings.
