Applied Materials Continues To Dominate Nasdaq 100

We can use our data to track individual stocks, industries, sectors, and indices. For today's bulletin, we present key metrics for the top picks in the NASDAQ 100. The companies listed below represent the top-ten BUY and STRONG BUY stocks within the index. They are presented below according to their one-month forecast target prices.

As we also saw in our last report in August. we see very little turnover here. Once again, we have only two new companies in our top-ten list--Amgen and eBay. The newcomers replaced MicroChip Technology (MCHP) and Texas Instruments (TXN). Applied Materials is once again number one. Netease has moved up three spots to takeover the number two position. Cisco is also up from eighth-to-sixth. LAM Research, Broadcom, Facebook, and CA Inc have all declined a few spots this month. As is always the case, this tech-heavy index features a top-ten list dominated by computer and technology firms.
