I’m looking for us stocks yes

Note on “getting rich”

No stock screen can guarantee you’ll “get rich.” What we can do is tilt the odds toward stronger, more established businesses that historically offer a better risk‑reward profile than randomly picking names. These filters are designed with that in mind.

Screening Filters

1. is_index_component: ['GSPC', 'NDX']

   • Purpose: Limit results to companies in the S&P 500 (GSPC) and Nasdaq‑100 (NDX).
   • Rationale:
     • These are large, liquid, widely‑followed U.S. companies.
     • Being in these indices generally requires size, reporting quality, and a track record of business viability.
     • For someone “looking for US stocks to invest in” and implicitly aiming to build wealth, starting with blue‑chip and leading growth names is safer than screening the entire market, which includes many highly speculative micro‑caps.

2. list_exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE']

   • Purpose: Restrict to stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges: NYSE (XNYS), Nasdaq (XNAS), and NYSE American (XASE).
   • Rationale:
     • Ensures you get U.S.-listed stocks, directly matching your request.
     • Major exchanges have stricter listing standards (financial disclosure, minimum size, etc.), which reduces the risk of very low‑quality or lightly regulated names.

3. return_on_equity ≥ 12%

   • Purpose: Find companies that generate at least a 12% return on shareholders’ equity.
   • Rationale:
     • ROE measures how efficiently a company turns invested capital into profit.
     • A minimum of 12% focuses on businesses with solid profitability and capital efficiency, traits often associated with compounding wealth over time.
     • This aligns with the goal of finding US stocks with potential to build wealth, rather than just any stock.

4. revenue_5yr_cagr ≥ 8%

   • Purpose: Require at least 8% compound annual growth in revenue over the past 5 years.
   • Rationale:
     • Sustained top‑line growth shows the company is expanding its business (more customers, higher sales, or both).
     • A 5‑year window avoids being misled by a one‑off good year; it favors companies with consistent growth, which is important if you want long‑term wealth creation potential.

5. eps_5yr_cagr ≥ 8%

   • Purpose: Require at least 8% compound annual growth in earnings per share (EPS) over 5 years.
   • Rationale:
     • EPS growth reflects that profits per share are rising, not just revenues.
     • Combining revenue and EPS growth helps ensure you’re not only buying “growing sales” but “growing profits,” which tends to be more directly tied to long‑term share price appreciation.

6. pe_ttm between 10 and 35

   • Purpose: Filter out stocks that are extremely cheap (P/E < 10) or extremely expensive (P/E > 35) on a trailing 12‑month basis.
   • Rationale:
     • Very low P/Es can signal distressed or no‑growth businesses; very high P/Es may imply excessive optimism and higher downside risk.
     • The 10–35 band targets companies that are reasonably valued relative to their earnings, given they also meet quality and growth criteria.
     • This balances growth potential with valuation discipline—important for wealth building over time.

Why Results Match What You Asked For

• US Stocks Only: The exchange filter (XNYS, XNAS, XASE) and index memberships ensure all results are U.S.-listed, matching your request to look for “US stocks to invest in.”
• Higher Quality, Established Names: Restricting to S&P 500 and Nasdaq‑100 components narrows the universe to large, established, more liquid companies.
• Focus on Wealth‑Building Traits:
  • Profitability (ROE ≥ 12%)
  • Sustainable growth (revenue and EPS 5‑year CAGR ≥ 8%)
  • Reasonable valuations (P/E 10–35)
    Together, these favor companies that have historically combined quality, growth, and sane pricing—key ingredients if your goal is to invest with a realistic chance of building significant wealth over time, without purely speculative bets.
