Outliers are the stocks that outperform the rest of the market for 100 years. They simply trounce the big averages because they possess great fundamentals and attract Big Money players.

The hard part is finding them.

At MAPsignals, that’s where we focus.

And this month we look at my best stocks to buy now for September 2021. Keep in mind, I like to use a lot of data in my process and this isn’t personalized advice.

But let’s touch on the market first. The big indexes are chugging higher but are largely being propped up by a handful of the biggest stocks. The data under the surface is deteriorating quickly. The Big Money Index is falling rapidly indicating more sellers than buyers. It’s often a leading indicator, so recent weakness isn’t surprising.

Pullbacks are part of the game. In fact, that’s an opportunity for long-term investors. Patience is the key to investing.

For MAPsignals, we focus on Big Money buying the best stocks. We find that oftentimes how a stock trades can alert you to the forward fundamental picture more than just looking at a company’s financials. I like the odds in my favor when looking for the highest quality stocks.

Up first is Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (TMO), which is a leading medical devices company. They have been trucking higher for years.

When we decide on the strongest candidate for long-term growth, we consider many fundamental and technical considerations.

Here we see great 1 and 3-year sales and earnings growth. We also see a hefty profit margin. Just for fun, juice is good, so-so is ok, and not ideal is underwhelming:

To see if Big Money is plowing in, we can look at the MAPsignals Top 20 charts. Below are all the top buy signals TMO has made the past few years. Blue bars are showing that Thermo Fischer was likely being bought by a Big Money player according to MAPsignals.

When we see a lot of blue signals, we call it the stairway to heaven:

Next up is Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (ISRG), which is a leading surgical robotics maker. Imagine being a surgeon in one country operating in a patient in another! This company makes it theoretically possible.

Let’s take a peek under the hood:

Another growth name to consider is Activision Blizzard, Inc. (ATVI). The video game maker has seen negative press regarding work culture and other assorted stories. But it doesn’t change the monster business they do.

Looking at the fundamental picture we see a strong history of 1 and 3-year sales and earnings growth and a chunky profit margin:

Our last growth powerhouse is PayPal Holdings Inc (PYPL), which is a specialty finance company focusing on digital payments.

This company boasts strong fundamentals with great 1 and 3-year sales and earnings growth. A gross profit margin of 55% is awesome.

The Bottom Line

TMO, ISRG, ATVI, GNRC, & PYPL represent my best stocks to buy now for September 2021. Given the strong historical revenue & earnings growth, and multiple big money buy signals, these stocks could be worth extra attention, especially if they pull back with a likely pending sell-off in the market.
