The US Industrials & Aerospace sector is drawing attention this week, with the Altra Sector score showing it as a 'Bullish' confirmed leader, ranked #2 among US sectors. This positive momentum is reflected in several key constituents, as multiple stocks within the sector have experienced significant upward shifts in their individual Altra Scores, signaling a potential broadening of strength.
The Altra Score is a proprietary momentum metric ranging from 0 to 100, indicating a stock's bullish momentum based on EMA alignment and RSI trend across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. A higher score suggests stronger bullish momentum. Similarly, the Altra Market score provides a market-wide perspective, reflecting the percentage of stocks trading above key Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), offering a read on overall market breadth. The Altra Sector score applies this same logic to sectors, also including a relative-strength rank against other sectors.
Currently, the broader US market, as indicated by the Altra Market score of 57.1, is in an 'Improving' phase. While market breadth shows over half of stocks above their 20-day (52.88%), 50-day (59.44%), and 200-day (65.21%) EMAs, the market narrative suggests being 'selective — favor high-quality setups.' The Altra Market's 15-day score trend, however, registered a slight decline of -4.5, indicating some recent pullback in overall momentum, despite the improving breadth.
Within this context, the US Industrials & Aerospace sector stands out. With an Altra Sector score of 73.0, it is not only rated 'Bullish' but also holds the #2 rank. Its 'Confirmed leader, accelerating' regime detail, driven by a positive 4-week Relative Strength (RS) trend (+0.03), a healthy EMA spread (0.01), and an RS RSI of 51.3, reinforces its current strength. This backdrop makes the individual stock momentum shifts within the sector particularly noteworthy.
EFX (Equifax)
Equifax (EFX) saw a notable shift on July 15, moving from a 'Bearish' Altra Score of 38.9 to a 'Bullish' 63.1. While the stock's daily RSI sits at 56.11, indicating some short-term strength, its weekly RSI (45.35) and monthly RSI (30.53) suggest that the longer-term picture has been more subdued, though the monthly RSI may be hinting at being oversold. Despite a bearish weekly EMA crossover recorded back on August 1, 2025, EFX is currently trading above its key EMAs, and its momentum is now considered 'top-down aligned', indicating consistency across different timeframes. The move to 'Bullish' suggests that while some longer-term indicators have been lagging, recent price action has shown sufficient strength to trigger a significant momentum upgrade.
LUV (Southwest Airlines)
Southwest Airlines (LUV) demonstrated a more emphatic surge, leaping from a 'Neutral' Altra Score of 57.7 to a 'Strong Bullish' 87.8 on July 15. All three RSI timeframes — daily (57.05), weekly (59.86), and monthly (65.31) — show strong momentum, with the monthly RSI particularly robust. This top-down alignment across all three timeframes, combined with the stock trading above its key EMAs, paints a very positive momentum picture. LUV also experienced a bullish weekly EMA crossover on May 30, 2025, further reinforcing the long-term upward trend in its momentum. This significant increase in Altra Score positions LUV as a strong performer within the already accelerating Industrials & Aerospace sector.
MMM (3M)
3M (MMM) also transitioned from 'Neutral' to 'Strong Bullish' on July 15, with its Altra Score jumping from 45.1 to 83.7. The stock's daily (55.5), weekly (54.9), and monthly (54.49) RSIs are all consistently in positive territory, suggesting balanced momentum across different timeframes. Like LUV, 3M is trading above its key EMAs and is currently considered 'top-down aligned', indicating a harmonious momentum profile. A bullish weekly EMA crossover on June 22, 2026, also supports the recent shift, marking a more recent confirmation of upward trend strength compared to LUV. The collective bullish shift in these three stocks within the US Industrials & Aerospace sector points to underlying strength and accelerating momentum in this segment of the market.
