Breakouts
Seven Breakout Names from the Latest Scanner: Setup Notes and Illustrative Levels
A fresh scan (seeds + Yahoo data, around October 30, 2026) flagged seven “strong” breakout-style names out of roughly 80 candidates. Every stock on the list is trading above its Zero-Lag EMA (ZLEMA)—a faster-reacting moving average intended to reduce the lag of a standard EMA. Positive distance above the ZLEMA means price is currently leading the trend line, a common technical signature for momentum continuation or breakout follow-through.
Scores range from the mid-50s to 84. Four names are new finds. Below are readable write-ups plus simple, illustrative trade-structure tables. These tables use recent closing levels from the scan window and treat the ZLEMA area as a reference for potential support. They are educational examples only—not recommendations, forecasts, or advice.

STGW — Stagwell Inc. (Highest Score / New Find)
Digital transformation, marketing, media, and commerce services company. Recent Q3 results showed roughly 10% revenue growth, a beat on adjusted EPS, margin expansion, and raised full-year adjusted EBITDA and EPS guidance. AI/Marketing Cloud momentum, a major ServiceNow deal, Palantir expansion, and an acquisition were highlighted. The stock jumped on the print and sits near the upper end of its 52-week range. One-year performance has been strong. Trailing multiples look high on modest GAAP earnings; forward numbers are more reasonable. Consensus leans constructive.

Closing Notes
The scanner is primarily technical—price above a lag-reduced moving average with a “strong” classification. That produces a mix of fresh catalysts (especially STGW’s earnings-driven move) and ongoing momentum in lodging, shipping, and midstream. Several names have earnings in the next one to two weeks, which can reinforce or reverse the setups.
Technical signals are starting points. Volume confirmation, relative strength, and fundamental follow-through still matter. Cyclical businesses can reverse quickly. The tables above are simplified illustrations only; real risk-reward depends on exact entry, position size, and market conditions.
As always, review the charts yourself on TradingView (links above), read the latest filings, and size any interest to what fits your own process and risk tolerance.
Data and levels approximate as of late October 2026 scan window. Prices change. This is not financial advice.
