Screening Filters

1. Market Capitalization (market_cap: min $20 billion):

   • Purpose: To focus on large-cap companies with a market capitalization of at least $20 billion.
   • Rationale: Large-cap companies are generally more stable, well-established, and less volatile compared to smaller companies. This makes them a suitable choice for investors seeking relatively lower-risk investments, especially for those who may not have a specific investment strategy in mind.

2. Price-to-Earnings Ratio (pe_ttm: max 15):

   • Purpose: To identify stocks that are potentially undervalued based on their earnings.
   • Rationale: A P/E ratio of 15 or below is often considered a benchmark for value investing. By setting this filter, the screener narrows down the list to companies that may be trading at a reasonable or discounted valuation relative to their earnings, which can appeal to investors looking for good value opportunities.

3. Dividend Yield (dividend_yield_ttm: min 3%):

   • Purpose: To find companies that provide a steady income stream through dividends.
   • Rationale: A minimum dividend yield of 3% ensures that the selected stocks offer a relatively attractive return in the form of dividends. This is particularly appealing for income-focused investors or those looking for a combination of growth and income.

Why Results Match:

• The filters collectively aim to identify large, stable companies that are undervalued and provide a reliable income stream through dividends. This aligns well with a general investment approach, especially for someone who may not have a specific strategy but wants to invest in relatively safer, income-generating, and potentially undervalued stocks.
• By combining these criteria, the screener ensures that the user is presented with stocks that balance stability, value, and income potential, which are key considerations for many investors.
