Convenience store chain Casey’s (CASY), formerly Casey’s General Stores, rose to a record high close Wednesday. So did HVAC provider and AI play Comfort Systems USA (FIX). Casey’s and Comfort Systems both also landed in the Stock Spotlight Friday. Financial services firm Virtu Fin’l (VIRT), which reported a 62% surge in profits last quarter, qualified for the IBD 50.

The screens are based on The IBD Methodology, which looks for stocks displaying the common traits typically shared by the best-performing stocks in the early stages of their big price moves.

TechnipFMC In Sweet Spot Amid Clamor For Oil/Gas Gear

The major markets fell into an intermediate correction Friday but TechnipFMC saw a record high close. Its stock is rising fast as oil and natural gas companies scramble for equipment to keep up with demand. U.K.-based TechnipFMC closed at 25.03 April 11 last year. It closed at 71.19 Friday, a nearly 200% rise in less than 12 months.

But never buy a stock just because it’s on an IBD list. Be sure to do your own research and run all your stock ideas through a buying checklist. And you can use IBD’s simple three-step routine to quickly track general market trends, find stocks to watch, and pinpoint the best time to buy and sell.
