Our technical scanner runs daily across the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, evaluating each stock against a broad set of momentum, trend, and oscillator indicators to identify the strongest potential setups. For 31 August 2026, the following five names generated the highest number of bullish technical signals relative to bearish ones. As always, these readings reflect technical conditions only and should be considered alongside your own fundamental research.
1. Apple Inc. (AAPL) – 13 technical buy signals
Price: $319.70 (+1.63% on the day)
View the full technical analysis of Apple Inc.
Apple shares have performed well in 2026, gaining roughly 14% year-to-date while many of its large-cap technology peers have faced greater volatility. Analysts point to the company’s device-based artificial intelligence strategy as a key differentiator, allowing it to sidestep some of the infrastructure spending concerns that have weighed on rivals. A solid third-quarter earnings result has further supported the constructive sentiment on Wall Street.
Considerable attention is also being paid to Apple’s anticipated entry into the foldable smartphone segment. Industry analysts at IDC forecast initial shipments of around 10 million units in the first year, with the device expected to carry a premium price point targeting high-end consumers. A separate analyst at Rothschild & Co. has suggested the market may not yet have fully priced in the growth opportunity this product represents.
From a technical perspective, Apple is one of the strongest setups in today’s scan, posting 13 bull signals against 6 bear signals. The stock’s recent momentum, combined with a positive fundamental backdrop including its status as Berkshire Hathaway’s largest holding, makes this a name worth watching closely for technically oriented investors.
2. Corteva (CTVA) – 13 technical buy signals
Price: $83.90 (+1.82% on the day)
View the full technical analysis of Corteva
Corteva, the agricultural sciences company spun out of DowDuPont, has attracted positive attention from several prominent institutions in recent months. Goldman Sachs has included the stock on lists of undervalued ideas, while Bank of America raised its price objective to $90 earlier in the year. The company supplies seeds and crop protection products to the global agricultural input industry, giving it a relatively defensive business profile compared to many technology-oriented peers.
Operationally, Corteva delivered a strong first half of 2026 and subsequently raised its full-year outlook. Management has also confirmed that its previously announced business split plans remain on track, a development that could serve as a catalyst for further valuation recognition. The company’s steady execution has helped build confidence among investors looking for more stable earnings growth.
Corteva ties with Apple at the top of today’s scanner output with 13 bullish signals and just 5 bearish ones, giving it the second-best bull-to-bear ratio in today’s list. For investors seeking technical strength in a sector less correlated with the broader technology trade, CTVA presents an interesting combination of positive price momentum and improving fundamentals.
3. Amazon (AMZN) – 10 technical buy signals
Price: $266.43 (+3.97% on the day)
View the full technical analysis of Amazon
Amazon was among the standout movers on 31 August, advancing nearly 4% on the session. Much of the day’s enthusiasm was linked to commentary from Evercore, whose analysts suggested that agentic artificial intelligence applications could meaningfully enhance Amazon’s commerce and advertising businesses. Survey data cited by the bank indicated that AI-powered shopping tools have the potential to drive incremental engagement and spending across the platform.
Separately, reports emerged that Amazon is developing an internal automation initiative, known internally as Project Tetromino, aimed at significantly reducing manual processes in its fulfilment operations. The company has also been expanding its range of AI model offerings, signalling continued investment in its cloud and enterprise technology divisions. These developments have helped reinforce the view that Amazon’s growth drivers remain broad-based.
The stock had given back some of its post-second-quarter earnings gains ahead of today’s session, but the sharp recovery suggests renewed buying interest. With 10 bullish signals and 5 bearish signals in today’s scan, Amazon’s technical picture has improved noticeably. Patient investors who stayed the course through the recent consolidation may find the current setup worth examining.
4. AppLovin (APP) – 10 technical buy signals
Price: $317.76 (+1.64% on the day)
View the full technical analysis of AppLovin
AppLovin has had a turbulent 2026 despite continuing to deliver strong earnings growth. The mobile technology and advertising platform company saw its shares fall sharply during the year, a decline that some analysts have described as disconnected from its underlying business performance. Its advertising platform has continued to generate robust revenue, and the company maintains impressive operating margins relative to software sector peers.
Several Wall Street commentators have taken a constructive view of the current valuation, arguing that the selloff has created an opportunity for investors with a medium-term perspective. Analysts at one major bank highlighted three potential catalysts they believe could drive a meaningful rerating of the stock, while another firm described AppLovin as one of the more impressive businesses it has evaluated in the current software landscape.
What makes AppLovin particularly notable in today’s scan is its exceptionally low bear signal count. Of the five stocks featured, APP has the most favourable bull-to-bear ratio, registering 10 bullish signals against just a single bearish one. That kind of technical consensus is relatively rare and suggests that, despite the difficult year, the price action may be beginning to reflect a more constructive underlying trend.
5. C.H. Robinson (CHRW) – 10 technical buy signals
Price: $150.39 (-0.50% on the day)
View the full technical analysis of C.H. Robinson
C.H. Robinson is the one name in today’s top five that closed marginally lower on the session, yet its broader technical picture remains positive enough to earn a place in the scan. The freight and logistics company delivered a second-quarter earnings result that comfortably exceeded consensus estimates, with earnings per share growing meaningfully compared to the same period a year earlier. That beat helped push the stock toward the low $150s in the days following the announcement.
The macroeconomic backdrop for freight logistics has been supported in part by a significant surge in Mexican exports, a trend that C.H. Robinson highlighted in a recent industry report. As North American trade flows evolve, the company’s positioning as a third-party logistics provider gives it exposure to shifting supply chain patterns. Barclays recently reiterated a buy rating on the stock, and analyst opinion, while mixed, includes a number of constructive voices.
From a technical standpoint, CHRW registers 10 bullish signals against 5 bearish ones, mirroring the counts seen for Amazon and AppLovin. The slight pullback on the day may reflect normal consolidation following a strong recent run. For investors focused on the industrial and logistics space, C.H. Robinson offers a technically supported setup backed by solid fundamental momentum.
