Each stock in this article is trading near its 52-week high. These elevated prices usually indicate some degree of investor confidence, business improvements, or favorable market conditions.

While momentum can be a leading indicator, it has burned many investors as it doesn’t always correlate with long-term success. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks we think live up to the hype.

Remitly (RELY)

One-Month Return: +12%

With Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as an early investor, Remitly (NASDAQ: RELY) is an online platform that enables consumers to safely and quickly send money globally.

Why Is RELY a Top Pick?

1. Active Customers have increased by an average of 25.8% annually, giving it the potential for margin-accretive growth if it can develop valuable complementary products and features
2. Performance over the past three years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 163% outpaced its revenue gains
3. Free cash flow margin increased by 43.1 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

Remitly’s stock price of $26.87 implies a valuation ratio of 11.6x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

With each vessel capable of carrying roughly 2 million barrels of oil—enough to fill about 125 Olympic swimming pools—DHT Holdings (NYSE: DHT) operates very large crude carriers that transport crude oil across international routes for energy companies and traders.

Why Are We Positive on DHT?
