Top 5 Technical Buy Signals in the S&P 500 & Nasdaq 100 – 23 September 2026

Our technical scanner runs daily across the full S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 universes, weighing a broad set of momentum, trend and oscillator indicators to surface stocks where the balance of signals tilts meaningfully in favour of buyers. For 23 September 2026, five names stand out with particularly strong bull-to-bear ratios. Here is what the data — and the latest news flow — suggest about each of them.

1. Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) – 16 technical buy signals

Price: $71.67 (+6.32% on the day)

View the full technical analysis of Skyworks Solutions

Skyworks Solutions leads today’s scanner with 16 bull signals against just 6 bear signals, making it the most technically constructive name on today’s list. The stock is up more than 6% on the session, continuing a run that has seen it outpace the broader market over the past year — a trend noted by several market observers, even as analyst sentiment has remained measured rather than euphoric.

On the corporate front, the pending acquisition of rival chipmaker Qorvo appears to be a significant catalyst. Management has publicly affirmed that the deal is on track to close before year-end and has outlined a target of $500 million in cost and revenue synergies. That kind of strategic clarity tends to reduce uncertainty, which may be helping the stock attract technically oriented buyers.

Earlier in the summer, Skyworks reported fiscal third-quarter revenue and non-GAAP earnings above the midpoint of its own guidance, adding a layer of fundamental credibility to the current technical strength. The stock’s recent inclusion in two Russell defensive indexes also broadens its potential investor base.

2. Charter Communications (CHTR) – 15 technical buy signals

Price: $158.97 (+8.74% on the day)

View the full technical analysis of Charter Communications

Charter Communications is the most striking mover on today’s list, gaining nearly 9% on the session and generating 15 bull signals against 7 bear signals. The move is particularly notable given that the stock faced meaningful selling pressure earlier this month, with one session recording a decline of more than 7% amid concerns about broadband competition and uncertainty surrounding a CFO transition.

The longer-term narrative around Charter is increasingly centred on its planned merger with Cox Communications and the expansion of its wireless business. A recently published investment letter from a prominent asset manager characterised these developments as meaningful drivers of a stronger competitive position over time. Meanwhile, the company has continued to demonstrate financial discipline, with its CFO outlining a considered approach to capital deployment alongside a routine preferred dividend declaration.

Charter has also been broadening its commercial footprint through a content distribution agreement with Optimum, expanding local news access and advertising reach in key regional markets. For a stock that has experienced a substantial multi-year decline, the current technical configuration — combined with improving strategic visibility — may be drawing renewed attention from investors.

3. Dell Technologies (DELL) – 15 technical buy signals

Price: $492.20 (+15.81% on the day)

View the full technical analysis of Dell Technologies

Dell Technologies is the standout performer by price movement today, rising more than 15% in a single session and recording 15 bull signals against only 5 bear signals. The stock has already hit fresh 52-week highs on multiple occasions this week, and the technical picture reflects a market that is pricing in a significant improvement in Dell’s business trajectory.

The fundamental backdrop is compelling. Dell reported year-over-year sales growth of 88% in its most recent fiscal first quarter, driven by surging demand for AI server infrastructure. The company has established itself as a key supplier to both enterprise clients and so-called neocloud operators building out large-scale AI computing capacity. Evercore recently raised its price target on the stock and maintained Dell as a top pick, citing AI server momentum, margin expansion and earnings per share growth as key drivers.

RBC Capital Markets also initiated coverage with a bullish outlook, which appeared to contribute to a double-digit intraday gain in mid-September. With AI infrastructure spending showing few signs of slowing, Dell’s positioning in that supply chain continues to attract institutional interest, and today’s technical reading reflects that enthusiasm.

4. Procter & Gamble (PG) – 15 technical buy signals

Price: $147.64 (+0.98% on the day)

View the full technical analysis of Procter & Gamble

Procter & Gamble offers a rather different profile from the other names on today’s list. Its daily gain is modest at under 1%, but the scanner returns 15 bull signals against just 4 bear signals — the cleanest bull-to-bear ratio among the top four stocks — suggesting that the underlying technical trend is unusually steady. For investors who value consistency over momentum, that kind of signal can be meaningful.

The news flow around PG has been relatively quiet and broadly reassuring. Several analysts have recently reaffirmed their positive outlook on the stock, and the shares have been trading in a narrow range just below the $148 level, suggesting a degree of price stability that is not always easy to find in the current environment. The stock’s behaviour is consistent with its long-standing reputation as a defensive holding.

On the governance side, the company has undergone a leadership transition at board level, with Shailesh Jejurikar appointed as the new Chairman following the retirement of long-serving executive Jon Moeller. Leadership changes of this nature can sometimes introduce short-term uncertainty, but the market’s muted reaction suggests confidence in the continuity of PG’s operational strategy and its strong competitive position in consumer staples.

5. Meta Platforms (META) – 14 technical buy signals

Price: $592.85 (+2.47% on the day)

View the full technical analysis of Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms rounds out today’s list with 14 bull signals and — notably — only 1 bear signal, giving it the most lopsided bull-to-bear ratio of any stock in today’s scan. The stock is up nearly 2.5% today, though it is worth noting that the shares pulled back from higher levels seen earlier in the week following a brief outage affecting Facebook and Instagram. Analysts broadly maintained their constructive views through that episode.

The central theme driving Meta’s recent performance is the commercial potential of its Muse AI agent. Bank of America has reaffirmed its buy rating on the stock, arguing that Muse represents a credible pathway to converting Meta’s substantial AI investment into measurable revenue growth. The launch of Muse triggered a sharp single-session gain of more than 11% in the prior week, reflecting the degree to which investors are focused on AI monetisation as the next key chapter for the company.

Broader commentary from analysts and fund managers suggests that concerns about Meta’s capital expenditure on AI infrastructure may have been excessive relative to the revenue opportunity now becoming visible. With its family of apps still generating substantial advertising income and new AI-driven products beginning to take shape, the technical strength reflected in today’s scan appears to have a credible fundamental foundation.
