Orsted may pay dividend again after several years
Orsted, the Danish renewable energy utility, recently published its Q2 earnings report, which showed mixed results. The company exceeded analysts’ expectations in terms of both revenue and EBITDA, but fell short of net income estimates. Nonetheless, project developments are on track, and the company’s liquidity position remains adequate. In light of the results, management maintains its 2026 guidance, and announced dividend payment plans for 2027. Overall, Orsted keeps making good progress, so we are keeping the stock on our Equity Top Pick List.
Commodities - Technical Analysis
Gold and silver have broken their downtrends, triggering upward waves that still hold potential for further gains. After a strong retest, the oil price may settle into a range, but there are still opportunities for further gains. Natural gas prices did not reach a new low, but no pattern indicating a reversal has yet emerged. Copper is maintaining its upward trend; it must rise again within the next few days, or the rally could break down. Wheat and corn are also beginning to turn upward again from key support levels after strong retests.
Major U.S. indices are trading in a narrower range but are still in an uptrend. Rotation toward lagging sectors continues, with many stocks attempting to break out of their corrective trends and resume their upward momentum. We’ve selected two of these that could enter a more sustained uptrend following a breakout. One is Mastercard, an American multinational payment technology and financial services company that operates one of the world’s largest credit card networks, while the other is Zebra Technologies, an American technology company primarily engaged in the development of barcode scanners, label printers, mobile data collection devices, RFID systems, and enterprise automation solutions.
Best rated US stocks based on momentum ranking
Compelling technical picture:
Matercard (daily): Last week, the market began a explosive, trend-like rally after closing above 500. It seems to have gotten a little out of hand, but since the structural shift has already occurred, buyers can look for opportunities at more favorable levels during pullbacks (below 520). The minimum target price based on the previous high could be around 600, but there’s also a chance of new highs with a target price around 625.
Zebra Technologies (daily): It broke out of its downtrend in recent days, leaving a gap behind. A minor retest here would also provide a more favorable entry point, but even at current prices, there is potential for a decent upside return. Target prices could be in the 343–375 range, which corresponds to previous breakout levels. A close below 250 would be a failure.
List of stocks with a chance of a turnaround in the coming weeks

The momentum model supports the creation of a technical based stock list that helps to find shorter-term trading opportunities. The model can be used to identify stocks that show reversal signals following more sustained falls/underperformance. We examine one-year, six-month, three-month, one-month and five-day momentum values, which are used to rank the stocks under consideration. The higher a stock is ranked in the order, the better it technically performs relative to the others. The change in the ranking over time is used to determine the life cycle of the stock.
- In the first table, we collect the stocks that show the most attractive picture compared to the others in a given week based on momentum factors, of which those are also presented in a separate chart where a favourable situation can be identified based on additional technical analysis tools.
- In the second table, we list the stocks that are already worthy of being placed in watchlist status. They are not among the best performers, but they have the potential to improve and signal a turnaround in a few days or weeks.
- In the third table, we have also collected the more popular stocks to help identify their position in the momentum order.
The report shows the results of a technical - quantitative based stock screening, which does not examine the fundamental background/value of the companies. For this reason, risk management/position sizing rules should be designed accordingly.
