Our technical indicator scanner runs daily across the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, weighing a broad set of momentum, trend and volume signals to identify stocks where the balance of evidence favours buyers. On 3 September 2026, the following five names generated the strongest configurations of bullish technical signals, making them worth a closer look for active investors.
1. Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) – 16 technical buy signals
Price: $71.67 | Daily change: +6.32% | Bear signals: 6 | Market: S&P 500

Skyworks Solutions topped our scanner on 3 September with 16 bullish signals against 6 bearish ones, accompanied by a sharp single-day advance of more than 6%. The move brought the wireless chipmaker back toward levels that BMO Capital has highlighted in its coverage, and analysts have noted that range expansion, elevated volume and improving RSI readings all contributed to the session’s strength.
The technical picture is notable given the stock’s recent history. Earlier in the summer, SWKS was trading roughly 24% below its 52-week high, and a May earnings beat — where the company surpassed revenue estimates by nearly 5% and earnings-per-share forecasts by more than 18% — was initially met with selling pressure in after-hours trade. That kind of post-earnings weakness, followed by a gradual technical recovery, is a pattern worth monitoring.
More recently, second-quarter results showed revenue declining modestly year on year to around $935 million, yet forward guidance came in ahead of expectations, suggesting management has some visibility into demand stabilisation. The combination of improving fundamentals and strengthening technicals gives this reading added weight.
2. Charter Communications (CHTR) – 15 technical buy signals
Price: $158.97 | Daily change: +8.74% | Bear signals: 7 | Market: S&P 500
View the full technical analysis of Charter Communications
Charter Communications generated 15 bullish technical signals and recorded the largest single-day percentage gain in our top five, advancing nearly 9% to close at $158.97. For a stock that multiple analysts have described as significantly undervalued relative to its earnings profile, this kind of price action can attract attention from both value-oriented and momentum-driven investors.
On the corporate front, Charter has been active in recent weeks. The company completed a notable debt exchange in August, moving to higher-coupon instruments as part of a refinancing exercise, and it has expanded its local news carriage footprint through a new agreement with Optimum. These strategic moves suggest management is working to reposition the business even as the stock continues to recover from a prolonged multi-year decline.
A leadership change adds a layer of uncertainty: the company announced the departure of CFO Jessica Fischer and the appointment of Kevin Howard as interim replacement. Transitions at the CFO level can introduce short-term volatility, but the underlying technical signals on this date were firmly in the bullish camp. Investors may wish to monitor how the stock handles near-term resistance levels.
3. Dell Technologies (DELL) – 15 technical buy signals
Price: $492.20 | Daily change: +15.81% | Bear signals: 5 | Market: S&P 500
View the full technical analysis of Dell Technologies
Dell Technologies produced the most dramatic price movement in our top five, surging nearly 16% in a single session following the release of its second-quarter earnings results. The company significantly exceeded both revenue and earnings expectations — delivering an earnings surprise of more than 40% and a revenue beat of around 3.6% — which appears to have triggered a sharp technical breakout that our scanner captured clearly, with 15 bullish signals and just 5 bearish ones.
The earnings strength was underpinned by robust demand for AI-related infrastructure, an area where Dell has positioned itself as a significant hardware supplier. Analysts at Barron’s and elsewhere noted that technology infrastructure spending continues to drive material upside for the company, even as gross margin scrutiny remains a point of ongoing debate among investors following a somewhat volatile period ahead of the results.
Dell also made a consumer-facing announcement around this period, introducing a new lightweight laptop targeting students and younger buyers. While this segment is a relatively modest contributor to overall revenues, the product launch illustrates the company’s effort to diversify beyond its enterprise core. From a technical standpoint, a move of this magnitude following an earnings catalyst deserves careful monitoring for follow-through in subsequent sessions.
4. Procter & Gamble (PG) – 15 technical buy signals
Price: $147.64 | Daily change: +0.98% | Bear signals: 4 | Market: S&P 500
View the full technical analysis of Procter & Gamble
Procter & Gamble stands apart from its peers in this list as the only true defensive consumer staples name, and its inclusion with 15 bullish signals and just 4 bearish ones — the second-lowest bear count in our top five — reflects a notably clean technical picture. The daily gain was modest at under 1%, but that is consistent with the stock’s character: steady, low-volatility accumulation rather than sharp momentum moves.
On the fundamental side, the company declared a new quarterly cash dividend earlier in the summer, reaffirming its long-standing commitment to returning capital to shareholders. Management also issued its full-year 2027 guidance in August, which prompted some debate about whether the current valuation adequately reflects the company’s earnings power. For income-oriented investors, the dividend announcement serves as a regular reminder of the stock’s defensive credentials.
The relatively low number of bear signals is worth highlighting. When a stock carries fewer contradictory indicators alongside a healthy bull count, it can suggest a more stable and less contested technical setup. For investors seeking exposure to a large-cap consumer business with a well-established brand portfolio, the technical configuration here warrants attention, even if the daily price movement appears unspectacular on the surface.
5. Meta Platforms (META) – 14 technical buy signals
Price: $592.85 | Daily change: +2.47% | Bear signals: 1 | Market: S&P 500
View the full technical analysis of Meta Platforms
Meta Platforms finishes fifth by bull signal count, but the standout feature of its reading is a bear signal count of just 1 — by far the lowest in our top five and a rare occurrence in any scanner result. This means that of all the technical indicators our system evaluates, almost every single one was aligned in the bullish direction on this date, suggesting an unusually coherent and unchallenged upward trend in the stock’s price structure.
The company has been navigating a significant legal backdrop. A settlement agreement with 29 US states relating to teen safety on its platforms reached approximately $18 billion, a figure that initially unsettled some investors but has since been characterised by several analysts as a manageable outcome that removes a meaningful source of legal uncertainty. The stock’s ability to advance in the days surrounding that announcement points to market confidence in Meta’s underlying financial position.
Revenue growth remains strong, with some commentators pointing to growth rates in the high twenties percentage range, and the stock has been described in analyst coverage as potentially undervalued relative to its earnings. Separately, Meta faces regulatory attention in Europe over advertising practices. That risk is real and bears monitoring, but on the technical evidence available on 3 September, the market was clearly leaning in one direction.
