List high market cap first

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap Category: ['mega', 'large', 'mid']

   • Purpose: Limit results to higher‑capitalization tech stocks so that larger names can be shown first.
   • Rationale:
     • The user asked: “List the high market cap stocks first from the previously selected tech stocks.”
     • In most screeners, “high market cap” corresponds to mid, large, and mega caps. By excluding small and micro caps, we ensure the list is dominated by better‑known, more liquid companies.
     • Once this filter is applied, the results can be ordered so that mega > large > mid are shown at the top, which aligns with “high market cap stocks first.”

2. Year Price Change %: {'max': '-40'}

   • Purpose: Keep the performance condition from the previous step—stocks that have dropped by at least 40%.
   • Rationale:
     • Your earlier request was: “3 years more than 40 porcent decline”.
     • Our screener does not have a direct “3‑year performance” field; it only has 1‑year price change (year_price_change_pct).
     • We therefore use 1‑year price change ≤ -40% as a proxy for “more than 40% decline,” preserving the spirit of what you want (severely beaten‑down names), even though it is not exactly a 3‑year metric.
     • This means the results are tech stocks that have fallen at least 40% over the last year, not necessarily over the last three years.

3. Sector: ['Technology', 'Software & IT Services', 'Technology Equipment']

   • Purpose: Restrict the universe to technology‑related stocks, as you specified “tech stocks.”
   • Rationale:
     • “Technology” can be broken into several industry groups. Here we include broad Technology, plus sub‑sectors such as Software & IT Services and Technology Equipment.
     • This ensures we are working only with the “previously selected tech stocks” universe you’ve been refining in prior queries.

4. Listing Exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE']

   • Purpose: Include only tech stocks listed on the major U.S. exchanges: NYSE (XNYS), Nasdaq (XNAS), and NYSE American/AMEX (XASE).
   • Rationale:
     • These are the primary U.S. exchanges where most large, liquid tech stocks are traded.
     • It filters out OTC and less‑regulated venues, improving data quality and liquidity—especially important when you’re interested in high‑market‑cap names.

Do These Filters Match Your Request?

• “High market cap stocks first”

  • Yes, conceptually. We:
    • Restrict the universe to mid, large, and mega caps, which are the higher‑market‑cap tiers.
    • Within that set, results can be sorted by market cap so that the largest stocks appear first, which matches your intent.

• “Previously selected tech stocks” with “3 years more than 40% decline”

  • Partial match with a limitation:
    • We do not support a 3‑year performance indicator in this screener.
    • Instead, we use 1‑year price change ≤ -40% as a practical approximation to capture severely declined tech stocks.
    • This still surfaces beaten‑down tech names, but the time frame is 1 year, not 3 years.

Why the Results Are Still Useful

• You get a list of U.S.-listed tech stocks,
• With large to mid market caps (so the bigger names appear first),
• That have experienced a sharp ≥40% decline (over the last year),
• Which closely aligns with your goal of seeing high‑market‑cap tech names that have been hit hard, even though the exact “3‑year” metric is not available.
