It should come as no secret to anyone by now that I am a very research-driven investor. I consider myself a deep value investor at heart, and nothing excites me more than uncovering undervalued community banks. That is, without a doubt, my favorite segment of the market. There are a lot of reasons for that, but we'll get into those another time.
What I want to talk about today is how I approach investing and how you can use our new Benzinga ranking system to identify potentially lucrative opportunities.
Such as these five great buys that are showing market-beating momentum.
Now, I do an enormous amount of research. The bulk of my time isn't spent reading Wall Street research reports or tuning into CNBC to hear what the talking heads are saying. Instead, I spend my time reading reports, evaluating companies, testing different investment strategies, running data through financial and credit models, and refining our approach to investing.
I crunch numbers, analyze what works, discard what doesn't, and continuously refine my process.
Through all of this, me and the team have developed the new Benzinga ranking system. This ranking will appear whenever you pull up a stock, and it will show you how the stock ranks in four key areas: value, momentum, quality, and growth.
This allows you to mix and match different characteristics, whether you're looking for high-quality stocks with great growth potential or deep value stocks that also have strong quality indicators.
Over the years, we've become big believers in using value and momentum together. Our preferred approach is to have value stocks make up 50% of the portfolio and momentum stocks—especially momentum stocks with quality characteristics—make up the other 50%. We'll dive deeper into that another time, but today I want to share a simple but powerful concept with you.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Combining Value With Momentum</h2>
The folks at LSV Asset Management, a large mutual fund and managed account firm that follows a quantitative value-oriented approach, did extensive research on one slightly different idea: identify deeply undervalued stocks that are starting to show market-beating momentum.
The logic here is simple. These stocks are cheap, but more importantly, they're attracting buyers. This helps avoid one of the biggest pitfalls in value investing: the value trap.
A value trap is a stock that looks cheap on paper, but nobody cares. It languishes at a depressed price for years while investors sit around waiting for the market to notice.
Most people find that scenario difficult to stomach, and I don't blame them.
Using the Benzinga rankings, we can find stocks with high value scores. That means these companies are deeply undervalued across multiple metrics including earnings, cash flow, sales, and asset value. But then we take it a step further by incorporating trend.
I call trend the deep value of trading. Everyone knows deep value investing works. You can test it, run the academic studies, build models—it doesn't matter how you slice it, deep value delivers superior returns over time. The catch is that you have to be patient and aggressive, which is an unusual combination. You won't own the hot, exciting stocks the media loves. Instead, you'll own good businesses trading at bargain prices. And history has shown us time and again that these stocks consistently outperform.
The funniest thing I hear all day is when pundits on TV declare that value is dead or that book value no longer matters. Then you go back, run a simple model, and see that stocks bought at a discount to book value continue to outperform by a massive margin—even in the last several years, when growth and tech stocks have dominated. If you're managing $100 billion, you can't use this approach because the companies are too small. I don't have that problem. If you don't either, then deep value still works.
Everyone knows trend following works as well. Thousands of people have made millions of dollars using a trend-based approach to the markets.
It is not fast paced and is not new so most traders ignore it.
That said, nobody likes value traps. So we added trend to the equation.
When we combine value and trend, we can find undervalued stocks that are starting to attract buying pressure. If institutions begin moving into a stock, full value recognition can come much faster, leading to massive gains in a shorter time frame.
We use three trend filters—short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term. Today, I want to share a few stocks with high Benzinga value scores that have now given a short-term positive trend signal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Five Undervalued Stocks Showing Great Momentum</h2>
First up, an old favorite of mine: Smith &amp; Wesson Brands (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWBI#NASDAQ">SWBI</a>). I've made a lot of money in this stock over the years, and I also happen to own several of their products. The stock has been beaten down all year, largely because of the so-called "Trump slump." We saw this in 2017 too—when there's no immediate regulatory pressure to buy guns, demand dips. But Smith &amp; Wesson is a great company trading at bargain-basement valuations, and now we're seeing institutional buying pressure. Lake Street just upgraded the stock from hold to buy and raised their price target. Plus, the stock pays a 4.7% dividend, so you're getting paid while you wait.
Next up: StoneCo Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STNE#NASDAQ">STNE</a>), a Cayman Islands-based fintech company. This stock has been weak most of the year, but it's now triggering buy signals on both short-term and intermediate-term trends. It's trading at a single-digit P/E ratio, right around book value, and has a strong buyback program in place. Undervalued, underfollowed, and starting to move.
Another one I love: Algonquin Power &amp; Utilities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AQN#NYSE">AQN</a>). Algonquin owns a collection of regional gas, electric, and water utilities across the U.S. They recently exited the renewable energy business, which was the right move. This stock is trading at a steep discount to book value, and I've never lost money buying a utility under book. Institutions are starting to buy, and the short-term trend has reversed.
Then there's Titan Machinery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TITN#NASDAQ">TITN</a>), a U.S.-based agricultural and construction equipment company. It's been out of favor, but it just got an upgrade from Baird, raising the price target to $25. The stock is at $17 now, and the trend has reversed on increasing volume—exactly what we want to see.
Last but not least: PagSeguro Digital (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAGS#NYSE">PAGS</a>), a Brazilian fintech company focused on small businesses and micro-merchants. This company is doing $3.4 billion in annual sales and trades at dirt-cheap multiples of earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow. The stock has been crushed because Brazil is out of favor, but the short-term trend has flipped positive. This is a solid business with excellent fundamentals, and now we're starting to see buying pressure build.
So there you have it—deeply undervalued stocks where the short-term trend has turned positive. Institutions are recognizing these companies as good businesses trading at fire-sale prices, and money is starting to move in. That's how we use the Benzinga rankings to uncover potential investments and trading opportunities.
We'll be diving deeper into this in the weeks and months ahead, exploring different ways to use these rankings to improve investment performance. But for now, keep an eye on these names, and we'll check back in soon.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Super Micro Computer took the crown in February as the most-searched ticker on <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent030425&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a>, narrowly edging out Nvidia.
The list of the most-searched tickers in February looked significantly different, with only five of the top 10 coming from the list of the most-searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in 2024.
Super Micro Computer, Nvidia, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust and Tesla all ranked in the top five, where they also ranked throughout 2024.
Palantir, which ranked 7th in 2024, moved to 5th place in February.
Four of the top 10 stocks from 2024 dropped to the 11th through 20th range, including Advanced Micro Devices, Amazon, Apple and the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF.
GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) was the lone top 10 stock to drop out of the top 20 after ranking 10th in 2024. Other stocks that ranked in the top 20 and fell out of the top 20 include Meta Platforms, MARA Holdings, Trump Media &amp; Technology, Microsoft, SoundHound AI, Boeing, Micron and Strategy.
The top 10 list included several new names, including BibBear.AI and Rigetti, which fit the themes of AI and quantum computing that have been popular with investors in recent years. Hims &amp; Hers made the top 10 in February, which came as the company saw a surging stock price and also showed off its first-ever <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43598736/super-bowl-commercials-2025-complete-list-of-super-bowl-lix-ads-and-companies-behind-them">Super Bowl commercial.</a>
Time will tell if many of the names remain on the list for the month of March or if new sectors and themes gain the attention of Benzinga Pro users.

EXCLUSIVE: February's 20 Most-Searched Tickers On Benzinga Pro – Where Do Tesla, Palantir, Alibaba, Nvidia Rank?

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pushing forward with the Affordable Childcare Act, a bill aimed at easing the burden of childcare costs for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43888952/americans-owe-a-record-1-21-trillion-in-credit-card-debt-expert-warns-theres-no-end-in-sight">American families</a>.&nbsp;
<a href="https://fitzpatrick.house.gov/2025/2/fitzpatrick-leads-bipartisan-effort-to-help-working-families-access-quality-affordable-child-care">The proposa</a>l, introduced by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA), Sharice Davids (D-KS), and Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), would expand the Child Tax Credit and increase tax incentives for businesses that provide child care assistance to employees.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What the Bill Proposes and Who It Helps</h2>
<a href="https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/child-tax-credit?os=wtmbTQtAJk9s&amp;ref=app">The current Child Tax Credit</a> allows parents to claim up to $2,000 per child under 17, with phase-outs beginning at $200,000 for single filers and $400,000 for married couples.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>The average 401(k) balance soars to a record-breaking high – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/average-401k-balances-soars-to-record-high">Here's how to know if your nest egg is keeping pace.</a></li>
</ul>
The new bill seeks to triple that amount, offering a maximum of $6,000 per child and $12,000 for families with two or more dependents. Businesses would also benefit—companies that provide childcare support to employees could see their tax credit double to $300,000 annually.
This initiative follows a broader push for childcare relief in recent years. During the 2024 presidential campaign, then-Sen. <a href="https://www.aei.org/economics/dueling-child-tax-credit-proposals-harris-vs-vance/">JD Vance (R-OH) and then-Vice President Kamala Harris</a> each called for significant increases in the Child Tax Credit, proposing $5,000 and $6,000 per child, respectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;
As noted by <a href="https://www.glamour.com/story/trump-said-hed-make-child-care-more-affordable-moms-are-holding-him-to-it">Glamour</a>, making childcare more affordable was a central issue for both parties, reflecting growing concerns among working families.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gbr-savings-by-age">If You're Age 35, 50, or 60: Here&#8217;s How Much You Should Have Saved Vs. Invested By Now</a>
The proposal has drawn mixed reactions. Supporters argue that an expanded Child Tax Credit would provide much-needed financial relief to families struggling with rising costs. According to<a href="https://www.cbpp.org/blog/expanding-the-child-tax-credit-should-be-a-top-priority-in-2025-tax-debate"> The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities</a>, past increases in the tax credit significantly reduced child poverty, helping families afford necessities like rent, groceries, and childcare.
However, critics question whether direct cash payments are the best approach. A January <a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/article/a-2024-review-of-child-care-and-early-learning-in-the-united-states/">report by the Center for American Progress</a> argues that rather than expanding tax credits, funds would be more effectively allocated to targeted programs such as early education initiatives, childcare subsidies, and infrastructure improvements.&nbsp;
The report emphasizes that these investments can provide more direct assistance to lower-income families in need.

Even with bipartisan support, getting the bill through Congress won't be easy. As noted by<a href="https://tax.thomsonreuters.com/news/the-future-of-the-child-tax-credit/"> Thomson Reuters</a>, Republicans are prioritizing the renewal of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which increased the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $2,000 but is set to expire in 2025.&nbsp;
If Congress doesn't renew the TCJA, the credit could revert to its previous levels, complicating efforts to expand it further.
Some states are taking their own approach. In Georgia, <a href="https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/69886">lawmakers recently passed a bill </a>creating a $250 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43729940/trumps-tariffs-could-raise-taxes-by-1-trillion-kevin-oleary-calls-it-the-beginning-of-a-negotiation">tax</a> credit per child under seven to expand childcare support. However, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/ffbdf2e7dcb02adb7c9f218ed1a20cb8">Associated Press</a> reported the measure is expected to cost the state over $180 million per year, raising questions about long-term affordability.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRRR#NASDAQ">GRRR</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday, continuing on upward momentum after the company secured a $1.8 billion agreement to lead Thailand's largest energy digitization and infrastructure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/03/44077705/why-is-gorilla-technology-stock-surging-today">overhaul on Monday.</a>
What To Know: The 15-year project aims to modernize Thailand's electricity grid using AI-powered technology to improve energy efficiency, enhance security and optimize power distribution. Gorilla Technology is adopting a new financing model that links revenue directly to efficiency improvements, moving away from traditional infrastructure funding approaches. This structure is expected to provide consistent, growing revenue over the project&#8217;s lifecycle, with a significant increase anticipated between 2026 and 2027 when full operations begin.

Gorilla Technology Stock Jumps On $1.8 Billion Thailand Energy Deal

WIIM

Gorilla Technology Group shares are trading higher on continued strength after the company on Monday secured a $1.8 billion agreement to lead Thailand's smart grid and AI-Powered energy transformation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Introduction to the FIRE Movement</h2>
As made popular by Pete Adeney in 2011 via his Mr. Money Mustache blog, the FIRE movement stands for "Financial Independence, Retire Early."&nbsp;
It's a financial strategy where people aim to save and invest aggressively — sometimes as much as 50-70% of their income — so they can achieve financial independence and retire much earlier than the traditional retirement age of 65.&nbsp;
The strategy is simple — build a big enough nest egg that you can live off the returns, typically using something like the 4% withdrawal rule, as soon as possible.&nbsp;
This lifestyle has gained immense popularity among younger people who value freedom and flexibility over the standard 9-to-5 grind. The movement's momentum over the last few decades seemed to have been catalyzed by a "perfect storm" that included the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, digital platforms like Reddit and YouTube spreading the word, and a cultural shift toward valuing time over stuff.&nbsp;
With that being said, it took until November of 2024 for the first-of-its-kind FIRE Movement-focused ETF to be launched.&nbsp;
Introducing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FIRS">FIRE Funds Wealth Builder ETF (FIRS)</a> — designed to support your journey toward achieving financial independence, and hopefully an early retirement.&nbsp;
In this post I'll dig into…
<ul>
<li>Exactly what FIRS is</li>
<li>Why FIRS exists</li>
<li>Who FIRS is for</li>
<li>Who is behind FIRS</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exactly What FIRS Is</h2>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FIRS">FIRE Funds Wealth Builder ETF (FIRS)</a> is an investment product designed to support your journey toward achieving FIRE.&nbsp;
With a focus on resilience and potential growth across various market cycles, FIRS seeks long-term capital appreciation and diversification across four strategically constructed ETF baskets that align with the four most popular market conditions — Prosperity, Recession, Inflation, and Deflation.&nbsp;
This unique approach seeks to position your investments to respond effectively to changing economic environments — something bound to happen when you spend a decade or more focused on saving and building wealth via the US equity markets.&nbsp;
According to the fund's website, "FIRS aims to provide transparency, liquidity, and tax-efficiency, offering a streamlined option for those looking to align their investments with FIRE goals."&nbsp;
As we dig into the fund's prospectus, we learn that FIRS is a "fund of funds," which essentially just means it's an ETF composed of other ETFs.&nbsp;
As we read further, we learn about the fund's strategy — a portfolio equally weighted among four baskets of Underlying ETFs designed to track the behavior of four distinct economic regimes.&nbsp;
The four distinct economic regimes include:
<ul>
<li>Prosperity, which will generally be comprised of Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in equity securities.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Recession, which will generally consist of Underlying ETFs that aim to reduce risk and provide stable returns, take both long and short positions to seek profit from market fluctuations, and provide uncorrelated returns to the overall market.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Inflation, which will generally be comprised of Underlying ETFs that primarily invest in commodities, real estate, and other inflation beneficiaries.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Deflation, which will generally be comprised of Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in fixed income securities and bonds.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
As we dig further into the methodology used to select the Underlying ETFs, we learn that the Prosperity regime is benchmarked against the US equities via the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VTI">Vanguard Total US Equity ETF (VTI)</a>, the Recession regime is benchmarked against Gold via the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GLD">SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD)</a>, the Inflation regime is benchmarked against short-term treasuries via the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SHY">iShares 1 to 3 Treasury Body ETF (SHY)</a>, and the Deflation regime is benchmarked against aggregate bonds via the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AGG">iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG)</a>.&nbsp;
Portfolio construction is pretty straightforward. According to their prospectus, the FIRS ETF will hold between 10 and 25 Underlying ETFs with the overall goal of assigning a 25% weighting to each of the four regimes mentioned above.&nbsp;
Now that we're all on the same page as to what FIRS is, fundamentally speaking, let's explore why it exists in the first place.&nbsp;
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why FIRS Exists</h2>
As shared above, the FIRE movement encourages individuals to achieve financial independence by aggressively saving and investing with the goal of building a large enough nest egg they can retire early. Participants typically aim to reduce monthly expenses and accumulate substantial wealth through a combination of disciplined saving, consistently investing in growth-oriented assets, and optimizing portfolio construction to maximize returns over time.&nbsp;
There are two phases of the FIRE movement — the Wealth Accumulation phase and the Retirement phase.&nbsp;
They're exactly what they sound like. During the Wealth Accumulation phase you're building wealth. You're saving as much of your monthly income as you possibly can so that you can invest it into growth-oriented assets.
The FIRS ETF exists to optimize the Wealth Accumulation phase.
Through the Fund's four regime approach, it optimizes for long-term capital appreciation, offering a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, and other growth-oriented investments — no matter the market condition.&nbsp;
Then once you've accumulated enough wealth and hit your "FIRE Number," you can now implement the 4% Rule – enjoying your financial independence and retiring early.&nbsp;
Instead of trying to optimize your portfolio for these four common market conditions — prosperity, recession, inflation, and deflation — the FIRS ETF will automatically do this for you.&nbsp;
Let's now dig into who this ETF is specifically for.&nbsp;
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who FIRS Is For</h2>
Let's be real, if you're someone who's participating in the FIRE movement you're likely a money nerd. Being a money nerd, more often than not, also includes being a sophisticated investor — or at least the idea of learning about investing doesn't completely put you to sleep. In pursuit of becoming a sophisticated investor, I've spent thousands of hours learning about personal finance and investing over the last 10 years.&nbsp;
Now with the introduction of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FIRS">Fire Funds Wealth Building ETF (FIRS)</a>, you no longer have to be a sophisticated investor to optimize your Wealth Accumulation phase of achieving FIRE.&nbsp;
Instead of burning countless brain calories trying to figure out what commodities to own during inflationary times, or what US equities to own during prosperous times — FIRS automatically optimizes all of that for you.&nbsp;
As a fellow money nerd, I'm obsessed with understanding where my money is going and how it's working for me on a daily basis — which is why transparency is a key word used when describing this fund on their website.&nbsp;
At any moment, you can check out the fund's holdings — broken down by weighting — on their website. As of today's writing (2/28/25), some of the fund's largest Underlying ETFs include the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SFY">SoFi Select 500 (SFY)</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MAGG">Madison Aggregate Bond ETF (MAGG)</a>, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GLDM">SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust (GLDM)</a>.&nbsp;
If you're a fellow FIRE movement individual looking for a "set it and forget it" ETF to aid you during your Wealth Accumulation phase, FIRS might be for you.&nbsp;
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who is Behind FIRS</h2>
Michael Venuto and Daniel Weiskopf are the portfolio managers for the fund. Michael Venuto has over $8B in assets under management across all of the 55+ ETFs and 213+ SMAs he manages, and Dan Weiskopf has over $1B+ in assets under management across the 3 ETFs and 29 SMAs he manages.&nbsp;
Michael brings over 20 years of experience in building efficient, income-generating portfolios designed to support long-term financial freedom. Dan brings 25 years of experience to FIRE Funds and is committed to providing investors with the tools and strategies needed to support their financial goals and retire on their terms.&nbsp;
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Takeaway</h2>
It has never been easier to learn about personal finance and investing — enabling people to take back control of their money and their financial futures. The FIRE movement is real, and it's here to stay.&nbsp;
If you're someone who's looking to participate in the FIRE movement, but the Wealth Accumulation phase is a bit too complicated for your liking — the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FIRS">Fire Funds Wealth Builder ETF (FIRS)</a> could be a solid place to start.&nbsp;
Not only is it managed by industry veterans, but the strategy is simple — optimize portfolio returns no matter the market condition. I look forward to keeping tabs on the performance of this ETF over the coming quarters and years!&nbsp;
