Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $10,000,000,000 (Large-cap stocks)

   • Purpose: Focus on larger, more established companies when looking for “strong buy” ideas.
   • Rationale:
     • Large-cap firms tend to have more stable business models, better access to capital, and more analyst coverage.
     • For a “strong buy” recommendation, investors often prefer companies with proven scale rather than very small or speculative names.
     • This helps avoid thinly traded, high-risk micro- or small-caps that might be more volatile or harder to analyze.

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $1,000,000 (Liquidity filter)

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks are sufficiently liquid and tradable.
   • Rationale:
     • High trading volume means you can typically enter and exit positions closer to the quoted price without moving the market too much.
     • For a stock someone might act on as a “strong buy,” liquidity reduces transaction costs and slippage.
     • It also indicates that there is broad market participation and pricing is less likely to be distorted by a few trades.

3. Annual EPS YoY Growth ≥ 10% (Earnings growth filter)

   • Purpose: Target companies with solid, positive earnings momentum.
   • Rationale:
     • Analysts are more likely to rate a stock “strong buy” when its underlying business is growing earnings at a healthy pace.
     • A minimum 10% year‑over‑year EPS growth sets a baseline for fundamental strength rather than flat or shrinking earnings.
     • This helps align “strong buy” ideas with companies that are actually improving their profitability, not just cheap on paper.

4. Analyst Consensus = Strong Buy

   • Purpose: Directly match your request for “strong buy” recommendations based on professional analyst opinions.
   • Rationale:
     • This filter only includes companies where the majority of covering analysts rate the stock at the highest conviction level (e.g., “Strong Buy,” “Overweight,” or equivalent).
     • It translates your qualitative request (“recommend any stock as a strong buy”) into a quantitative, screenable condition based on consensus ratings.
     • While analyst views are not guarantees, this ensures the list reflects current positive professional sentiment.

5. Target Price Upside Potential = Above Current Price (MoreAbovePrice)

   • Purpose: Make sure analysts’ target prices imply upside from today’s market price.
   • Rationale:
     • A “strong buy” call is usually coupled with price targets that are meaningfully higher than the current share price.
     • This filter includes only those stocks where the average or consensus target price signals further appreciation potential.
     • It helps avoid situations where a stock is rated highly but has already run up to or beyond the analysts’ targets.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The analyst consensus = Strong Buy filter is the core translation of your request into data: it selects only stocks that professionals currently consider strong buys.
• The target price upside filter ensures you’re not just getting highly rated names, but ones where analysts still see further upside.
• The market cap and liquidity filters make the recommendations more practical and investable, focusing on established, actively traded companies rather than illiquid or speculative plays.
• The earnings growth filter ties the “strong buy” idea to real business performance, favoring companies with improving profitability that can justify a bullish view.
