Top 3 Screener Entries This Week
Ranked by peak percentage gain from the time each stock first appeared on StockJelli's screener.
1. SMX — peaked at +89.6% from screener entry
Entered the screener on Monday at 4:01 AM ET (pre-market). Price at entry: $15.83. Volume on entry day: 39.5M shares — the second highest volume of any stock entry this week. Market cap: $153.7M. Range position at entry: 61%. A small-cap name that saw explosive pre-market momentum, entering the screener with nearly a 90% gain already in play.
2. SGP (SpyGlass Pharma) — peaked at +65.0% from screener entry
Entered the screener on Monday at 4:01 AM ET. Price at entry: $26.40. Volume on entry day: 1.2M shares. Market cap: $842.5M. Range position at entry: 51%. A mid-cap pharma name that entered right at the middle of its range, suggesting the move had room to run in either direction — and it pushed higher.
3. PLSE (Pulse Biosciences) — peaked at +51.6% from screener entry
Entered the screener on Monday at 4:01 AM ET. Price at entry: $20.75. Volume on entry day: 2.8M shares. Market cap: $1.4B. Range position at entry: 99%. The largest market cap name in the top 3 this week, and it entered near the very top of its range — a classic momentum continuation signal. The high range position at entry meant the stock was already in strong breakout territory.
Market Cap Breakdown
This week's screener was dominated by larger names:
Large cap ($1B+): 111 entries (60%)
Mid cap ($100M–$1B): 75 entries (40%)
Small cap (under $100M): 0 entries (0%)
The complete absence of sub-$100M stocks is notable — StockJelli's volume filter (1M+ shares) naturally screens out the smallest names, but this week even mid-caps were underrepresented relative to large caps. This suggests the momentum was concentrated in more liquid, institutional-grade names rather than speculative micro-caps.
Volume Observations
The average volume across all 186 screener entries was 5.5M shares. Several entries this week stood out with exceptional volume: DVLT (Datavault AI) led with 138.7M shares, followed by STKL (SunOpta) at 59.9M shares and SMX at 39.5M shares. The concentration of high-volume entries on Monday — which also produced the week's top performers — reinforces the pattern that the strongest momentum sessions often start early in the week.
Notable large-cap entries included BILL (Bill.com) at 23.4M shares with a $4.9B market cap and LUMN (Lumen Technologies) at 32.6M shares with an $8.3B market cap, both appearing Monday. When large-cap names show this kind of volume, it typically indicates institutional participation rather than retail speculation.
Activity Pattern
Screener activity peaked mid-week, with Wednesday posting 50 entries — nearly double Monday's 31 and Tuesday's 27. Thursday stayed elevated at 45 entries before settling to 33 on Friday. The mid-week surge suggests that broad momentum catalysts (possibly macro data or sector rotation) drove increased participation from Wednesday through Thursday.
Monday produced the fewest entries after the weekend but captured the week's top 3 performers — a reminder that fewer entries doesn't mean weaker quality. Sometimes a quieter screener day surfaces stronger individual setups.
