Welcome to TheJunior International Hall of Famers.
With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.
This scan is composed of the next 100 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 100 and are thus covered by the International Hall of Famers universe.
Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original International Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.
Let’s dive right in and check out what these future big boys are up to.
This is our Junior International Hall of Famers list:
Dividend Aristocrats are easily some of the most desirable investments on Wall Street. These are the names that have increased dividends for at least 25 years, providing steadily increasing income to long-term-minded shareholders.
As you can imagine, the companies making up this prestigious list are some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Johnson & Johnson are just a few of the household names making the cut.
Here at All Star Charts, we like to stay ahead of the curve. That's why we're turning our attention to the future aristocrats. In an effort to seek out the next generation of the cream-of-the-crop dividend plays, we're curating a list of stocks that have raised their payouts every year for five to nine years.
We call them the Young Aristocrats, and the idea is that these are "stocks that pay you to make money." Imagine if years of consistent dividend growth and high momentum and relative strength had a baby, leaving you with the best of the emerging dividend giants that are outperforming the averages.
In this scan, we look to identify the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega cap status (over $200B).
Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.
But the scan doesn't just end there.
We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.
The game of golf is growing faster than any other sport around the globe.
Interest in golf surged during the pandemic and its popularity has continued to gain momentum in the years since.
There are now over 65 million on-course golfers around the world, up 44% from 2016.
And golf is different from other sports. There is a deep consumer economy growing around it. There is always something new to pay for, from clubs to balls, to the latest apparel.
It is a money pit of a hobby. Trust me on this one.
It is a consumerism story. It’s a demographics story. It is an emerging Asia story.
All the good stuff in one.
And my favorite vehicle to play it is a monopoly story.
Here’s Acushnet Holdings $GOLF breaking out to new all-time highs.
Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.
We've also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut.
These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.
It's got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.
The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.
We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.
Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.
Let's dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.
I was actually a customer of All Star Charts Premium research before ever meeting or working with JC.
When I was just finding my way into technical analysis, guys like Brian Shannon, Frank Cappelleri, and JC really resonated with me.
Their charts, their analysis, the way they viewed and discussed markets… They were speaking my language.
I wanted to do what these guys were doing. End of story.
Without them as my early mentors, I never would have had the faith and courage to make the big career change I did.
Over time, JC and I got to know each other over email. We found out we went to the same college and both liked food, sports, and charts… a lot.
We met at a CMT symposium later that year.
I started doing some project work for him while I was still consulting for the Big 4. I begged him to hire me for a while. He finally did, and the rest is history.
I joke with him sometimes that I’m the best investment he ever made.

Growth is the largest area of the market, and betting on these stocks has become one of the primary strategies for US investors.
As such, the question of “which growth stocks” always lingers.
And these companies come in all different shapes and sizes.
For example, we all know about the mature, high-quality growth names like Nvidia, Meta, and Netflix…. Think Magnificent 7. The best stocks.
And then there are some real offensive, high-beta growth names. I’m talking about companies that are still pre-revenue, or just turning the corner in terms of profitability.
I like to boil it down to two broad baskets…
There is large-cap/quality growth.
And there is speculative growth.
So far, the current bull market has been dominated by the largest growth companies in the world. They have been the clear leaders. It hasn’t been close.
Our Hall of Famers list is composed of the 150 largest US-based stocks.
These stocks range from the mega-cap growth behemoths like Apple and Microsoft – with market caps in excess of $2T – to some of the new-age large-cap disruptors such as Moderna, Square, and Snap.
It has all the big names and more.
It doesn’t include ADRs or any stock not domiciled in the US. But don’t worry; we developed a separate universe for that. Click here to check it out.
The Hall of Famers is simple.
We take our list of 150 names and then apply our technical filters so the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.
Let’s dive right in and check out what these big boys are up to.
If you’ve been following along, you already know. We want our offense on the field. We’re going long.
For baseball folks, we’re putting the pinch hitter in. We’re looking to go yard.
Welcome to the growth chronicles.
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be doing a series of posts on the most risk-on areas of the market.
The list of industry groups that are in uptrends continues to grow, fueled in large part by the speculative growth theme.
I’m going to cover the ones I’m most interested in and talk about the specific stocks I’m buying.
This week, it’s all about space and exploration.
While the market awaits the much-anticipated SpaceX IPO, I think many investors will be surprised at just how many options we already have to play this theme.
There is even an index for it. Here’s the ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF:
We love our bottoms-up scans here at All Star Charts. We tend to get really creative when making new universes as we want to be sure they will deliver us the best opportunities the market has to offer.
However, when it comes to this one, it couldn't be any simpler!

There is no need to overcomplicate things. Market cap is a quality filter at the end of the day. It only grows if price is rising. That's good enough for us.
