A value above 1 means the stock is trading above its historical average; the higher the value, the stronger its relative price momentum within the Russell 2000. Stocks at the top of this list are the US index members currently showing the strongest momentum.
Every trading day our scanner reads price data for all Russell 2000 members, calculates the RSL value for each, and ranks them from strongest to weakest. The table above shows the current top three.

The relative-strength approach developed by Robert Levy rests on a simple observation: stocks that have outperformed tend to continue outperforming over the medium term. Rather than predicting the future, the RSL ranking is a methodical, rules-based measurement of which Russell 2000 stocks currently lead on price momentum.
