Gas utilities (PNY, EGN, NJR) score highest across mid cap. Volume growth supports spot pricing for truckers. Oil & gas equipment & services (HLX, PDS, RES) demand picks up in summer following the spring thaw, supporting sales and earnings. Natural gas prices remain competitive globally, providing tailwinds for specialty chemicals (PPO) competing for business in other markets. M&A activity and typical seasonal de-risking supports processed & packaged goods (GIS, FLO).

In mid cap basics, buy oil & gas equipment & services, specialty chemicals, and synthetics (POL, CMP). Processed & packaged goods, textiles (COLM), and auto parts (TEN) score best in consumer. Only accident & health insurance (AIZ) and REITs (HME, TCO, KRC, DEI, CBL, BMR) are above average in financials. The top industrial baskets are aerospace (ESL, TDY, CW) and diversified machinery (SPW, ITT, DRC). In services, buy trucking (ODFL, HTLD, KNX), rental & leasing (R, AER, UHAL), and auto dealers (PAG). The top technology groups are printed circuit boards (FLEX), semi ICs (IRF), and business software (SSNC, ROVI, PEGA).
