As you will see today’s gains of 10% and more on both the DJIA and the S&P 500 Index, we wanted to explore which stocks greatly outperformed the markets today. We’d note that it is rather odd to see that technology stocks measured by the NASDAQ were actually lagging the overall market today.
DJIA 9,065.12 (+889.35; +10.88%)
S&P500 940.51 (+91.59; +10.79%)
NASDAQ 1,649.47 (+143.57; +9.53%)
Below is a list of the stocks which outperformed by roughly double over the major index gains of the DJIA, S&P 500, and NASDAQ 100. These stocks posted gains of 20% or more on the day, and we’d note that this list would actually be much larger if we included the financial stocks and REIT Stocks which we backed out for obvious reasons:
