The Globe and Mail attempts to identify non-energy stocks with upward momentum in its Thursday, Jan. 15, edition. The Globe's guest columnist Ian Tam writes in the Number Cruncher column that as the Canadian energy sector continues to suffer through the oversupply of crude, investors looking for a sector rotation will quickly realize that aside from the energy and (to a lesser extent) the materials sector, Canadian markets have seen upward price momentum in several other sectors. Mr. Tam looked for names with positive earnings and price momentum. He looked for positive three-month estimate revisions. He looked for quarterly earnings momentum based on four quarters of reported earnings. As well, he looked for positive quarterly earnings surprises. Finally, Mr. Tam searched for positive price changes in the three-month, six-month, nine-month and 12-month time frames. Qualifying names also had to have positive consensus earnings-per-share estimates for the current fiscal year. Mr. Tam's non-energy momentum plays are Sierra Wireless, Dominion Diamond, Amaya, Air Canada, Fairfax Financial Holdings, Linamar, Alimentation Couche-Tard, Great Canadian Gaming, Intertape Polymer and Interfor.
