Tradeweb Markets, Inc. (TW) stock has jumped in 2021, rising +53.3%. And the innovative trading platform aimed at institutional investors could rise more due to growing market share. But another likely reason is Big Money lifting the stock.

Tradeweb Shares Gain with Big Money

In this article:

So, what’s Big Money? Said simply, that’s when a stock goes up in price alongside chunky volumes. It’s indicative of institutions betting on the shares.

Smart money managers are always looking for the next hot stock. And Tradeweb has many fundamental qualities that are attractive.

This sets up well for the stock going forward. But how the shares have been trading points to more upside. As I’ll show you, the Big Money has been consistent in the shares all year.

You see, fund managers are always looking to bet on the next outlier stocks…the best in class. They spend countless hours sizing up companies, reading reports, speaking to analysts…you name it. When they find a company firing on all cylinders, they pounce in a big way.

That’s why I’ve learned how critical it is to gauge Big Money demand for shares. To show you what I mean, have a look at all the big money signals TW has made the last year.

The last few weeks have seen Big Money activity, too. Each green bar signals big trading volumes as the stock ramped in price:

In 2021, the stock has attracted 12 Big Money buy signals. Generally speaking, recent green bars could mean more upside is ahead.

Now, let’s check out technical action grabbing my attention:

  • 3-month outperformance vs. Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (+7.8% vs. XLF)

Outperformance is important for leading stocks.

Next, it’s a good idea to check under the hood. Meaning, I want to make sure the fundamental story is strong too. As you can see, Tradeweb has been growing sales at a double-digit rate. Take a look:

  • 3-year sales growth rate (+13.0%)
  • 3-year earnings growth rate (+35.3%)

Marrying great fundamentals with technically superior stocks is a winning recipe over the long-term.

In fact, TW has been a top-rated stock at my research firm, MAPsignals, for over a year. That means the stock has buy pressure, strong technicals, and growing fundamentals. We have a ranking process that showcases stocks like this on a weekly basis.

TW has a lot of qualities that are attracting Big Money. And since 2019, it’s made this list 8 times, with its first appearance a bit more than a year ago on 5/19/2020… and gaining 55.37% since. The blue bars below show the times that Tradeweb was a top pick since 2019:

It’s been a top stock in the financial sector according to the MAPsignals process. I wouldn’t be surprised if TW makes additional appearances in the years to come. Let’s tie this all together.

The Bottom Line

The Tradeweb rally could have further to go. Big money buying in the shares is signaling to take notice. Shares could be positioned for further upside. Given the historical gains in share price and strong fundamentals, this stock could be worth a spot in a growth-oriented portfolio.
