Our technical indicator scanner runs daily across every constituent of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, tallying bullish and bearish signals from a broad range of momentum, trend, volume and oscillator studies. The five names below recorded the strongest net bull scores on 4 September 2026, making them the standout setups worth examining more closely. As always, technical signals are one input among many — please read the disclaimer at the foot of this post before acting on anything here.
1. Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) – 16 technical buy signals
Price: $71.67 | Daily change: +6.32%
View the full technical analysis of Skyworks Solutions
Skyworks Solutions topped the scanner with 16 bullish signals against just 6 bearish ones, and the price action on 2 September underscored the strength of that reading. Shares jumped more than 6% in a single session, well ahead of the broader S&P 500’s modest advance on the same day, suggesting stock-specific momentum rather than simple index drift. The move placed the stock back above the $70 level that BMO Capital has cited as a key reference point in its coverage.
The business context supports a constructive technical view. Skyworks is an Irvine, California-based semiconductor specialist focused on analog and mixed-signal chips for wireless connectivity — a market exposed to ongoing smartphone refresh cycles and expanding IoT device penetration. The company had already demonstrated fundamental resilience in its fiscal second quarter, beating consensus revenue estimates by nearly 5% and earnings-per-share estimates by more than 18%, even though the after-hours reaction at the time was muted.
With 16 buy signals now registered, the scanner is flagging broad-based technical agreement — momentum, volume and trend studies are largely aligned. Investors will want to watch whether the stock can consolidate above $70 and whether volume remains elevated, both of which would add conviction to the breakout case. The high short-interest level noted in recent commentary also raises the possibility of continued upside pressure if bears are forced to cover.
2. Charter Communications (CHTR) – 15 technical buy signals
Price: $158.97 | Daily change: +8.74%
View the full technical analysis of Charter Communications
Charter Communications registered 15 bullish signals against 7 bearish ones, and the stock’s nearly 9% single-day gain was one of the most striking moves in the S&P 500 on 2 September. The advance came as a broad rally swept through the telecom services sector, but Charter’s outsized move relative to peers suggests the stock had its own tailwinds amplifying the sector bid. From a technical perspective, a gain of that magnitude on elevated volume would typically trigger a range of momentum and breakout signals simultaneously, which appears to be exactly what the scanner is capturing.
On the corporate front, Charter has been navigating a period of management transition after CFO Jessica Fischer announced her departure, with Kevin Howard stepping in on an interim basis. While leadership changes can introduce uncertainty, the market’s reaction suggests investors are focused more on the company’s strategic direction than on the personnel shift. The landmark closure of Charter’s $34.5 billion acquisition of Cox Communications has expanded the Spectrum brand to 45 states, with management guiding toward roughly one billion dollars in annual cost synergies over time.
The Cox integration represents a significant scale-up for the business, and if execution proceeds smoothly, it could support a sustained re-rating. For now, the scanner’s 15 buy signals indicate that technicals are broadly constructive, though the 7 bear signals serve as a reminder that the stock carries above-average near-term risk given the volatility of recent sessions. Position sizing and stop-loss discipline are especially relevant here.
3. Dell Technologies (DELL) – 15 technical buy signals
Price: $492.20 | Daily change: +15.81%
View the full technical analysis of Dell Technologies
Dell Technologies was the single largest mover among the top five, surging more than 15% on 2 September after the company delivered a second-quarter earnings report that drew widespread praise from market commentators. The results showed revenue ahead of consensus by roughly 3.6% and earnings per share beating estimates by more than 41%, with management pointing to exceptional demand from enterprise customers for artificial intelligence infrastructure as the primary driver. The magnitude of the earnings surprise was sufficient to prompt management to raise forward guidance, adding further fuel to the share price reaction.
The technical scanner registered 15 buy signals against just 5 bear signals, a skew that reflects the near-universal alignment of trend, momentum and volume indicators that tends to follow a large earnings-driven gap higher. Goldman Sachs had already reset its price target upward by $60 in the weeks prior to the report, citing AI server demand and improving margin dynamics, and the actual results appear to have exceeded even those revised expectations. CNBC anchor Jim Cramer described the quarterly report as one of the strongest he had reviewed in his career, reflecting the breadth of the earnings beat.
A 15%-plus gap is a significant technical event, and while the scanner’s buy signals are compelling, investors should be mindful that such moves can be followed by periods of consolidation or modest pullback as the market digests the new valuation level. The sustainability of AI infrastructure spending remains the critical variable to monitor for Dell over the coming quarters.
4. Procter & Gamble (PG) – 15 technical buy signals
Price: $147.64 | Daily change: +0.98%
View the full technical analysis of Procter & Gamble
Procter & Gamble stands apart from the other names on today’s list by virtue of its quiet, steady character rather than dramatic price swings. A gain of just under 1% on 2 September is entirely in keeping with the stock’s defensive profile, yet the scanner returned 15 bullish signals against only 4 bearish ones — the best signal-to-noise ratio in the top five by some margin. That low bear-signal count suggests that the technical picture is unusually clean, with very few indicators pointing in the wrong direction.
The fundamental backdrop for PG is well established. The Cincinnati-based consumer goods giant has increased its dividend for 70 consecutive years, placing it firmly in the Dividend King category and making it a staple of income-focused portfolios. Recent quarters have shown some softness in profit margins, and insider selling at elevated prices has attracted attention, but none of this has materially disrupted the long-term trend. Commentary from analysts continues to highlight the company’s consistent operational execution and shareholder-friendly capital allocation as durable competitive strengths.
From a technical standpoint, the combination of a modest but positive daily move, a clean signal profile and a stock trading near multi-year levels suggests that the market is quietly but consistently absorbing any available supply. For investors with a longer time horizon and a preference for lower volatility, the technical setup here complements what is already a straightforward fundamental investment case. The dividend yield remains modest rather than exceptional, so total-return expectations should be calibrated accordingly.
5. Meta Platforms (META) – 14 technical buy signals
Price: $592.85 | Daily change: +2.47%
View the full technical analysis of Meta Platforms
Meta Platforms rounds out the top five with 14 buy signals and a remarkably low bear signal count of just 1 — the cleanest technical reading in the entire list when measured by the ratio of bullish to bearish indicators. The stock advanced approximately 2.5% on 2 September, building on a run that has been supported by two distinct catalysts: the resolution of a significant multi-state youth safety legal matter on terms that analysts described as manageable, and the unveiling of Muse Spark 1.3, the company’s most advanced artificial intelligence model to date.
The AI announcement is particularly relevant to Meta’s competitive positioning. The company has invested heavily in building out its own large-scale AI capabilities, and the release of a new frontier model signals that it intends to remain a serious participant in that race rather than a pure consumer of third-party AI services. At the same time, the legal settlement removes a meaningful overhang that had weighed on sentiment for much of the year, particularly after a sweeping multibillion-dollar youth-safety lawsuit attracted attention from regulators and the press.
Risks remain visible. European regulators are scrutinising Meta’s advertising practices following reports linking certain ad placements to fraudulent creator accounts. The company also faces ongoing questions about whether its heavy AI capital expenditure will translate into durable revenue growth. Nevertheless, the near-absence of bearish technical signals on 4 September indicates that, for now, the weight of evidence in the charts is firmly on the side of the bulls. Traders should keep a close eye on the $600 level as a potential area of resistance.
