The US stock market is ready to start the new year on a positive note. Investor sentiment improved after hitting new record highs over the Christmas period, trading significantly above 6,900 points.
Even though these highs did not last long and the market entered a short correction, the overall trend remains positive. Buyers continue to target the 7,000 point level, which could become the next record high if the bullish momentum continues. This remains the basic scenario.
As investors look to build portfolios at the start of the year, attention is now shifting to companies that are already making progress and still have room for further gains. Below are three such companies that continue to show strong bullish momentum.

A move higher will depend on the stock breaking above the demand zone around $20 per share. If that happens, the price could move toward the estimated fair value of around $26 per share, based on InvestingPro.
It is also worth noting that the company has generated steadily increasing profits over the past few years, with a big increase in the third quarter of 2025.
