9 Stocks On Winning Streaks With Significant Hedge Fund Buying

Every now and then it’s nice to have assurance that hedge fund managers and professional stock pickers know what they’re doing, and do it well. With that in mind we created a list of outperforming stocks that hedge funds have been buying up in the current quarter.

The list of stocks below have met the following criteria:
- Winning Streaks (see below for more info)
- Significant net institutional purchases in the current quarter
- Market cap over $300 million (for stability)

For our purposes winning streaks are measured by a persistence of days in which the stock outperformed the S&P 500 and little persistence of days in underperforming the index. We measured this by the ratio of the longest winning streak (in days) divided by the longest losing streak over the last month.

Below is our final list of 9 stocks that made the cut. Do you think they have more upside to price in? List Average 1-Year Return: 46%.
