Our technical indicator scanner runs daily across the full S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 universes, scoring each stock on a range of momentum, trend, and volume-based signals. For 23 October 2026, five names stand out with the strongest concentration of bullish technical readings — here is what the data and recent news tell us about each one.
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 bullish signals against only 6 bearish ones, making it the highest-scoring name across the entire S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 today. The stock has been in a strong uptrend in recent weeks, stringing together an impressive run of consecutive positive sessions through late October, building on a recovery that has delivered substantial gains over the past six months.
The backdrop is not without complexity, however. Analysts remain divided on the proposed merger with Qorvo, with some viewing it as a meaningful strategic opportunity and others flagging execution risk and continued exposure to the smartphone cycle as reasons for caution. A recent analyst review nudged the stock’s fair value estimate modestly higher, reflecting this mixed but gradually improving sentiment.
From a technical standpoint, the concentration of buy signals at current price levels suggests momentum remains firmly in the bulls’ favour. Investors should nonetheless remain aware of the elevated short interest in the stock and the fact that the dividend payout currently exceeds earnings, which could become a point of focus if the business environment deteriorates.
2. Charter Communications (CHTR) — 15 technical buy signals
Price: $158.97 (+8.74% on the day)

Charter Communications posts an exceptional single-day gain of nearly 9%, accompanying 15 bullish technical signals and only 7 bearish ones. The stock has had a turbulent year, at one point touching a decade-long low in September, so today’s reading represents a notable shift in short-term momentum. A significant institutional addition — with one prominent wealth manager disclosing a large new position through a recent regulatory filing — may be contributing to renewed investor interest.
The company’s Spectrum broadband unit has attracted attention for an initiative to deploy AI-capable computing infrastructure across a broad network of edge facilities, a strategy that some analysts argue repositions Charter as more than a traditional cable operator. Several independent valuations have suggested the stock may be trading well below intrinsic value, though the broadband subscriber environment remains a genuine headwind worth monitoring.
The merger with Liberty Broadband, completed in August 2026, continues to draw legal scrutiny, with at least one law firm investigating potential claims on behalf of former Liberty Broadband shareholders. This overhang is worth keeping in mind as the technical picture improves.
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 most dramatic mover on today’s list, surging more than 15% and registering 15 bullish technical signals with only 5 bearish readings. The catalyst appears closely linked to raised guidance from Super Micro Computer, a key partner in Dell’s AI server ecosystem, which sparked broad enthusiasm across the AI infrastructure space. Dell’s own AI Factory product line has been a central part of its recent investment narrative, and news flow this week reinforced that positioning.
That said, it has not been a smooth ride for DELL in October. Earlier in the month, Barclays downgraded the stock and trimmed its assessment of the business, citing concerns about the financial health of some of Dell’s neocloud customers, particularly around debt levels at CoreWeave and similar hyperscale infrastructure clients. That downgrade weighed on the shares before this week’s recovery took hold.
The combination of AI-driven demand tailwinds and legitimate questions about end-customer credit quality creates a nuanced picture. Technicals today are strongly bullish, but investors would be wise to keep the fundamental debate in view when sizing any position.
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 stands out on today’s scanner with 15 bullish signals and a notably low bear count of just 4, the second-cleanest signal ratio in the top five. The consumer staples giant reported first-quarter results on 22 October that came in ahead of analyst expectations, delivering what one report described as its strongest single-day share price performance in several years. The earnings beat was accompanied by commentary on new product introductions and a growing focus on artificial intelligence as an operational efficiency tool.
Today’s modest gain of just under 1% follows that strong post-earnings move, suggesting the stock is consolidating rather than retreating. For a business of P&G’s scale and defensive character, a low bear-signal reading alongside a high bull count is a meaningful technical development, indicating broad-based support across multiple indicator frameworks simultaneously.
P&G remains one of the more dependable dividend-paying companies in the S&P 500, and the combination of a solid earnings report and a constructive technical setup may attract investors seeking a blend of quality and near-term momentum. Options market data ahead of the earnings release had flagged the possibility of a negative reaction, which makes the actual outcome all the more noteworthy.
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 closes out today’s top five with 14 bullish signals and a strikingly low bear count of just 1 — the cleanest ratio on the entire list. The stock posted a gain of nearly 2.5% today, recovering some ground after a sharp sell-off on 23 October following the company’s quarterly earnings report. That report itself was a mixed affair: core advertising revenue remained strong and beat expectations, but investors reacted cautiously to the scale of planned AI-related capital expenditure for the remainder of the year.
The week also brought two significant corporate announcements. Meta revealed plans for a stock split — a first in the company’s history — which some analysts suggest signals management confidence in the long-term trajectory of the business. Separately, Cathie Wood’s ARK Investment Management used the post-earnings dip to add a substantial number of Meta shares across several of its ETFs, a move that drew considerable market attention.
The near-absence of bearish technical signals, combined with recovering price action and continued institutional interest, makes Meta one of the more technically compelling setups on today’s scan, even as the fundamental debate around AI spending intensity continues to evolve.
