CARETRUST REIT INC (NYSE:CTRE) Identified by High Growth Momentum and Minervini Trend Screen

CARETRUST REIT INC (NYSE:CTRE) has been identified through a screening process that combines Mark Minervini’s Trend Template with a High Growth Momentum (HGM) rating, a method created to find equities showing both solid technical momentum and strong fundamental growth traits. The strategy focuses on stocks in confirmed uptrends, verified by moving average alignment, relative strength, and nearness to new highs, while also requiring accelerated earnings, sales growth, and improving margins to meet the needs of growth-focused investors. This two-part method works to find companies with the possibility for continued high performance.

From a technical view, CTRE meets all main parts of Minervini’s Trend Template, which is important for confirming the stock is in a Stage 2 advance, a phase marked by steady upward momentum. The current price of $34.44 trades well above its rising 50-day ($31.43), 150-day ($28.97), and 200-day ($28.91) simple moving averages. The 50-day MA also sits above both the 150-day and 200-day MAs, confirming positive momentum across timeframes. Also, the stock is trading within 4% of its 52-week high of $34.92 and stands more than 38% above its 52-week low, showing strong recovery and momentum. With a relative strength ranking of 79.21, CTRE is doing better than nearly 80% of the broader market, a sign of leadership that Minervini highlights for possible high performance.

On the fundamental side, CTRE shows the high-growth features the screen looks for, with large improvements in earnings and sales. Earnings per share growth on a trailing twelve-month basis rose by 108%, while recent quarterly EPS growth hit 400% compared to the same quarter last year. Revenue growth is also strong, with a 50.8% increase over the past year and a 103% rise in the most recent quarter. Such increases often draw institutional interest and can act as a reason for more price gains, a central idea of Minervini’s SEPA method, which centers on specific entry points in companies displaying fundamental improvement.

Profitability measures also back the growth story, with the latest quarterly profit margin reported at 60.78%, up from 43.09% three quarters before. This rise points to not only top-line growth but also better operational efficiency and pricing ability. Although recent analyst revisions for next year’s estimates have decreased a little, the raw growth numbers and margin growth fit with the screen’s goal of finding companies with fundamental momentum.

The technical report summary for CTRE gives a rating of 8 out of 10, showing solid technical health with positive short and long-term trends. It notes the stock is trading close to new highs with good liquidity, though the setup rating is moderate because of recent price swings, suggesting investors look for a period of stability before entry. Support levels are clear between $24.90 and $30.33, giving a defined structure for risk management. For a complete analysis, review the full technical report here.
