Momentum

Momentum

Alludes to a company's technical price momentum or fundamental earnings momentum. Companies with strong momentum have prices and earnings that are going up, while companies with weak momentum have prices and earnings that are going down, or going no place.
Critically, all momentum is estimated at the margin, so a company with high momentum must advance to keep up with its place, while a company with weak momentum can just settle to escape the doghouse.
