Financial metrics alone

Screening Filters

1. EPS (Earnings Per Share) TTM ≥ 25:

   • Purpose: To identify companies with strong profitability on a per-share basis over the trailing twelve months (TTM).
   • Rationale: A high EPS indicates that the company is generating significant earnings relative to its outstanding shares, which is a key metric for assessing financial health and profitability.

2. Revenue TTM ≥ 25:

   • Purpose: To filter for companies with substantial revenue generation over the trailing twelve months.
   • Rationale: Strong revenue growth is a sign of a company’s ability to generate sales and expand its market presence, which is critical for long-term sustainability and growth.

3. Return on Equity (ROE) ≥ 15%:

   • Purpose: To focus on companies that efficiently generate profits from shareholders' equity.
   • Rationale: A high ROE indicates that the company is effectively using its equity base to generate returns, which is a hallmark of strong financial performance and operational efficiency.

4. Price ≥ 15:

   • Purpose: To exclude low-priced stocks, which are often more volatile and may not meet the user’s preference for higher-quality investments.
   • Rationale: Setting a minimum price filter ensures that the results focus on stocks that are more established and less speculative, aligning with the user’s focus on financial metrics.

Why Results Match:

• The user requested a focus on financial metrics alone, and the selected filters directly address key financial performance indicators: profitability (EPS), revenue generation, operational efficiency (ROE), and stock price quality.
• By setting minimum thresholds for these metrics, the screener ensures that only companies with strong financial fundamentals are included, which aligns with the user’s intent to prioritize financial health and performance over other factors like technical patterns or hedge fund activity.
