U.S. stock markets have witnessed renewed momentum in the first half of 2024 after an impressive 2023. The bull run continued in the past 18 months, barring some minor fluctuations. This year&#39;s rally has taken a section of financial experts by surprise as they warned of a downside due to higher stock valuations and the Fed&#39;s decision to keep interest rates higher for longer than expected.
Year to date, the three major stock indexes &mdash; the Dow, the S&amp;P 500 500 and the Nasdaq Composite &mdash; have rallied 4.2%, 16.8% and 23.2%, respectively. The mid-cap benchmark &mdash; the S&amp;P 400 Index &mdash; has also advanced 5.3% year to date.
Within the mid-cap space, a handful of stocks (market capital &gt; $8 billion&lt; $10 billion) have the potential to become large caps in 2024. Investment in these stocks with the most favorable Zacks Rank should lead to handsome returns this year.
<h3>Why Should You Invest in Mid-Cap Stocks?</h3>
Investment in mid-cap stocks is often recognized as a good portfolio diversification strategy. These stocks combine the attractive attributes of both small and large-cap stocks. Top-ranked, mid-cap stocks have a high potential to enhance their profitability, productivity, and market share. These may also become large-caps over time.
If economic growth slows down due to any unforeseen internal or external disturbance, mid-cap stocks will be less susceptible to losses than their large-cap counterparts owing to less international exposure.
On the other hand, if the economy continues to thrive, these stocks will gain more than small caps due to established management teams, a broad distribution network, brand recognition and ready access to capital markets.
<h3>Our Top Picks</h3>
We have narrowed our search to five mid-caps that have strong potential for the rest of 2024. These stocks have seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the last 60 days. Finally, each of our picks sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
The chart below shows the price performance of our five picks in the past month.

5 Must-Buy Mid-Cap Stocks With Strong Near-Term Potential

The aerospace defense equipment industry has maintained its northbound journey amid supply-chain woes. Nevertheless, improving defense budget funding from the U.S. administration and impressive year-over-year projections for global air passenger numbers are likely to boost this space in the second half of 2024.
The aerospace defense equipment industry comprises companies that primarily design and manufacture heavy-built products like commercial as well as military jets and helicopters, tankers and other combat vehicles, missiles, combatant ships as well as auxiliary ships, submarines, bombs, guns, space transportation vehicles, military satellites and a few more.
The industry stood its ground on the back of steady government support. Importantly, in March 2024, the fiscal 2025 defense budget request was submitted by President Joe Biden. This included a funding proposal of $849.8 billion for the U.S. Department of Defense, which reflected a 1% increase from the fiscal 2024 enacted funding amount.
Steadily improving global air traffic data in recent times has been boosting the near-term growth prospects of the industry. As stated in the latest report published by the IATA in June, total travelers are expected to reach 4.96 billion in 2024 &mdash; a record high. Total revenues are expected to reach $996 billion in 2024 &mdash; a record high, reflecting an improvement of 9.7% year over year.
The Zacks-defined Aerospace &ndash; Defense Equipment Industry is currently in the top 14% of the Zacks Industry Rank. In the past year, the industry has provided 28.1% returns, while its year-to-date return is 15.2%. Since it is ranked in the top half of Zacks Ranked Industries, we expect the consulting services industry to outperform the market over the next three to six months.
