TechnipFMC (FTI) and Confluent (CFLT) are also stocks to watch.\nThe stock market rally is still acting well, with the Nasdaq right at record highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and other major indexes traded higher Friday after a quiet session on Thursday, with not many stocks flashing new buy signals.\nSome stocks are in buy ranges while more are setting up in emerging bases or pullbacks. However, many leaders are simply extended. With this is in mind, investors should keep an eye on these fives stocks as they assess current holdings and work on watchlists.\n\n\n\n↑\nX\n\n\n\n\nTricky Rotations But Tech Leaders Surge; GOOGL, AVGO, CRDO In Focus\n\n\nSee All Videos\n\n\n\n\nNOW PLAYING\nTricky Rotations But Tech Leaders Surge; GOOGL, AVGO, CRDO In Focus\n\n\n\n\nInvestors should also keep tabs on the IBD Leaderboard watchlist, the IBD 50 list of top growth stocks and IBD SwingTrader along with the IBD Sector Leaders list.\nS&P 500: Goldman Sachs Stock\nGS shares fell 2.4% to 585.48 in last week's stock market action. The stock has a three-weeks-tight pattern, according to MarketSurge charts. The traditional tight buy point is 612.73, the all-time high that GS hit on Nov. 29.\nShares have fallen just below the 21-day exponential moving average. A strong move off the 21-day line could offer investors an entry opportunity.\n\nYear to date, Goldman Sachs stock has gained 52%. That includes a 17.5% jump in November.\nGoldman Sachs was Monday's IBD Stock Of The Day.\nMorgan Stanley analyst Betsy Graseck on Monday upped the price target on the Dow Jones giant to 736, up from 570. That analyst expects President-elect Donald Trump to create a favorable environment for large-cap banking stocks.\nWith the fourth quarter fast coming to an end, analysts project EPS growing 49% with revenue rising 7%. For the full year, the consensus puts Goldman Sachs profit up 60% to $36.63 per share on sales totaling $51.71 billion, a 12% gain compared with 2023. Analysts expect 2025 earnings per share of $42.74 and revenue coming in at $54.94 billion.\nThe Dow and S&P 500 banking stock has a robust 91 Composite Rating. Goldman Sachs has a 90 Relative Strength Rating and an 87 EPS Rating.\n\nBest IBD 50 Stocks To Watch\n\nTaiwan Semiconductor Stock\nTSM jumped 5% to 200.99 on Friday, moving above its 50-day moving average. The stock has a 205.63 cup-with-handle buy point in a consolidation just above a prior base. Friday's move broke the downtrend of the handle, offering an early entry.\nTaiwan Semi was Friday's IBD Stock Of The Day.\n\nTaiwan Semiconductor makes chips for Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO) and many others.\nLate Thursday, Broadcom delivered roughly in-line results for its fiscal fourth quarter, helped by strong sales of AI processors and networking chips.\nChipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor, also known as TSMC, on Oct. 17 beat Q3 estimates with a 54% increase in earnings on a 39% sales jump. Chief Financial Officer Wendell Huang credited the results to \"strong smartphone and AI-related demand for our industry-leading 3-nanometer and 5-nanometer technologies.\"\nLast week, Taiwan Semiconductor reported November sales jumped 34% vs. a year earlier, led by AI chips. Analysts saw the foundry giant is on track to meet or beat Q4 estimates.\nTSM has a strong 95 Composite Rating. Taiwan Semiconductor has an 87 Relative Strength Rating and a 98 EPS Rating.\n\nStocks To Buy And Watch: Top IPOs, Big And Small Caps, Growth Stocks\n\nTechnipFMC Stock Performance\nThe oil field services stock advanced 0.9% to 31. FTI is just above a buy zone, which stretches 5% beyond the 29.49 handle entry to 30.96. However, investors could also use the top of the consolidation, 29.85, as an alternate entry. FTI stock has found support there and the 21-day line.\nTechnipFMC has rallied more than 15% since the U.S. elections on Nov. 5, trending to record highs. President-elect Donald Trump is considered petroleum-friendly with his \"drill, baby, drill\" campaign slogan.\nBut, if oil prices remain subdued, U.S. producers may not be eager to ramp up drilling.\n\nThe Houston and Newcastle, U.K.-based TechnipFMC has inked new contracts with major oil firms BP (BP), Shell (SHEL) and Petrobras (PBR) this year.\nMeanwhile, the company has record triple-digit earnings growth the last seven quarters. However, revenue gains have slowed over the past three quarters.\nOrganized in two business segments — Subsea and Surface Technologies — TechnipFMC provides fully integrated projects, products and services for the traditional and new energy industries. It works with oil and gas firms to develop energy resources while helping its partners reduce their carbon footprints.\nFTI stock has a 94 Composite Rating. The shares also have an 88 Relative Strength Rating and an 82 EPS Rating.\n\nHow To Buy Stocks\n\nConfluent Stock Performance\nCFLT shares dropped 2.65% to 30.49 on Friday, trading below a 34.08 buy point from a cup-with-handle base. Confluent is testing the 21-day line.\nShares tumbled 9.4% for the week after big gains over the prior two months.\n\nMountain View, Calif.-based Confluent offers data streaming software it describes as a central nervous system for a company's data. Walmart (WMT), eBay (EBAY) and Citigroup (C) are among its customers.\nConfluent stock has rallied sharply since stronger-than-expected third quarter results on Oct. 30. Confluent stock was trading essentially flat year-to-date prior to its big recent run.\nConfluent's recent rally kicked off after it reported earnings growth of 400% to an adjusted 10 cents per share. The company reported sales growth of 25% to $250 million for its September-ended quarter. Both numbers exceeded estimates.\nChief Executive Jay Kreps told analysts following the company's Q3 report that the results highlight Confluent's \"prime position to win the $60 billion data streaming category.\"\nSome analysts predict that the market will be helped by demand from generative AI, which requires companies to organize vast amounts of data to feed into AI models. Confluent is offering solutions tailored to that process.\nConfluent stock has a robust 95 Composite Rating. The stock has an 87 Relative Strength Rating and an 81 EPS Rating.\n\nNasdaq Bucks Weak Breadth As Fed Looms; Is Nvidia An AI Laggard?\n\nS&P 500: Fortinet Stock Performance\nFTNT edged down 0.7% to 97.95 in Friday's stock market trade.\nFortinet stock is trading just below a 100.59 buy point in a short consolidation after a strong run-up on earnings. FTNT is on track to have a proper flat base in a few days on a daily chart, according to MarketSurge analysis.\n\nFortinet competes in the firewall network security market vs. Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Check Point Software Technologies (CHKP) and others.\nFirewalls reside between private networks and the internet. They block unauthorized traffic and check web applications for malware. As large companies shift to off-premise cloud computing services, one view is that firewall technology will play a lesser role. Fortinet has targeted software-defined wide area networks, or SD-WANs, an emerging computer networking technology.\nIn November, Fortinet provided three- to five-year financial targets, with expectations billings and revenue will grow at a 12% CAGR. The forecast came in slightly above analyst predictions.\nThe company did not give preliminary 2025 guidance.\nFortinet stock has a near perfect 98 Composite Rating. The S&P 500 stock also have a 93 Relative Strength Rating and a 99 EPS Rating.\nPlease follow Kit Norton on X @KitNorton for more coverage.\nYOU MAY ALSO LIKE:\nIs Tesla Stock A Buy Or A Sell?\nGet Full Access To IBD Stock Lists And Ratings\nLearning How To Pick Great Stocks?
