Context
No screen can reliably identify the “best” aviation stock for short‑term growth, and short‑term moves can’t be guaranteed. What these filters do is narrow the universe to aviation‑related stocks that currently show favorable technical momentum and reasonable risk characteristics, giving you a higher‑probability candidate list.
Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ $2,000,000,000
- Purpose: Focus on mid‑ to large‑cap aviation companies.
- Rationale:
- Larger firms (≥ $2B market cap) tend to have better liquidity (tighter spreads, easier to enter/exit), which matters a lot for short‑term trading.
- They’re generally more established and less prone to extreme, random swings than tiny speculative names, while still offering room for growth.
RSI Category: “Moderate”
- Purpose: Avoid stocks that are extremely overbought or oversold.
- Rationale:
- A “moderate” RSI suggests the stock has some momentum but isn’t at an extreme where a short‑term reversal is more likely.
- For short‑term growth, you usually want a trend that is intact but not so stretched that it’s at immediate risk of a pullback.
PriceAboveMA20 (Price above 20‑day moving average)
- Purpose: Capture stocks in a short‑term uptrend.
- Rationale:
- The 20‑day moving average is a common short‑term trend gauge.
- When price is above the 20‑day MA, the stock is generally in an upward trend over roughly the last month, which aligns directly with a short‑term growth objective.
1‑Month Price Change: +5% to +40%
- Purpose: Target stocks with recent positive, but not parabolic, performance.
- Rationale:
- A gain of at least 5% over the last month shows the stock has real upward momentum, rather than being flat or weak.
- Capping the move at 40% tries to exclude names that have already made extreme short‑term jumps, where the risk of a sharp correction is elevated.
- This range balances “enough momentum to matter” with “not so overheated that it may crash.”
Industry: “Aerospace & Defense”, “Passenger Transportation Services”
- Purpose: Restrict to aviation‑related sectors.
- Rationale:
- “Passenger Transportation Services” includes airlines and similar operators that are core to commercial aviation.
- “Aerospace & Defense” covers aircraft manufacturers, defense contractors with aviation exposure, and related suppliers.
- Together, these industries concentrate the search on companies directly tied to aviation rather than the broader market.
Themes: “Airlines”, “Aerospace & Defense”
- Purpose: Reinforce the aviation focus using thematic tagging.
- Rationale:
- Theme filters ensure the companies are recognized as part of the aviation ecosystem (airlines and aerospace/defense).
- This double‑checks industry classification and keeps results aligned with your request for “aviation stock,” not just any transportation or industrial name.
One‑Week Predicted Return: 0% to 100%
- Purpose: Select stocks with a non‑negative model‑based outlook for the next week.
- Rationale:
- Requiring a predicted return ≥ 0% filters out stocks where the model expects short‑term downside.
- The upper limit of 100% is effectively just a wide cap; the key is that the model sees at least neutral‑to‑positive prospects in the immediate term, which fits your short‑term growth angle.
Why Results Match Your Request
Overall, these filters don’t promise the single “best” aviation stock, but they systematically home in on aviation names that are: (1) truly in the sector you care about, (2) showing constructive short‑term momentum, and (3) large and liquid enough to trade efficiently for short‑term growth strategies.
