The most recent leg of the bull rally has been one of the oddest in a long time. By that I mean that the stocks that have led the charge have been of the Risk Off variety:

Large cap, defensive, and income producing.

These are not the typical stocks leading the bull charge to new highs. That space is usually reserved for more aggressive growth stocks.

However, the reason for the these Flight to Safety picks was a combination of weakening fundamentals that pushed down interest rates. In that environment income producing stocks become more attractive.

This weekend’s positive outcome for the US China trade dispute will likely cause a shift out of defensive stocks into more growth oriented names. That led to me to screen for stocks with the right ingredients:

• POWR Rating of A or B
• Small to Mid Cap Names Only
• 30% or higher expected earnings growth for the next few years.

So out of the 10,000+ stocks on the US market only these 15 emerged from this screening process. Certainly you will recognize some of the growth names on here like ZenDesk (ZEN - Get Rating) and Hubspot (HUBS). However, be sure to explore the others that may be lesser known names, but still have exciting upside potential.
