List of utility stocks above the 20 ema

Screening Filters

1. moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA20

   • Purpose: Finds stocks trading above their 20-day moving average, which is often used as a short-term trend filter.
   • Rationale: The user asked for stocks “above the 20 EMA.” This filter is the closest match available and is designed to capture stocks with price strength relative to a short-term moving average. While “20 EMA” specifically refers to the 20-day exponential moving average, PriceAboveMA20 is an effective proxy for identifying stocks trading above a short-term average trend line.

2. sector: Utilities

   • Purpose: Restricts the results to utility companies only.
   • Rationale: This directly matches the user’s request for utility stocks, ensuring the screener excludes companies from other sectors.

3. region: US

   • Purpose: Limits the search to stocks listed in the United States.
   • Rationale: This matches the user’s request for US utility stocks, so the results focus only on U.S.-based securities.

Why Results Match:

• The combination of sector = Utilities and region = US directly targets U.S. utility stocks.
• PriceAboveMA20 screens for stocks trading above a short-term moving average, which aligns with the user’s request for stocks above the 20 EMA.
• One note: the filter does not explicitly use the 20 EMA calculation; instead, it uses price above the 20-day moving average as a practical equivalent for trend screening. This still addresses the intent of the query effectively.
