Nokia stocks

Screening Filters

1. market_cap_category: large

• Purpose: Focus on large-cap companies.
• Rationale: Nokia is a mature, globally recognized telecom equipment company, so a large-cap filter fits the kind of established business the user is likely asking about rather than small speculative names.

2. beta: LowRisk

• Purpose: Select lower-volatility stocks.
• Rationale: For a company like Nokia, investors often care about stability and defensiveness more than high volatility. This filter helps isolate stocks that are more suitable for a fundamental, lower-risk analysis.

3. moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA200

• Purpose: Require the stock to be trading above its 200-day moving average.
• Rationale: This is a common long-term trend filter. It helps identify stocks with positive technical momentum, which can be useful when analyzing whether a stock is in a healthier uptrend.

4. sector: Telecommunications Services

• Purpose: Narrow the universe to telecom-related companies.
• Rationale: Nokia operates in the communications infrastructure and telecom space. Even though its exact classification can vary by database, this sector filter is intended to keep results aligned with the user’s Nokia-related interest.

5. industry: Telecommunications Services

• Purpose: Narrow further to the closest matching industry group.
• Rationale: This makes the screen more precise by focusing on companies with similar business exposure to Nokia’s broader telecom/communications profile.

6. region: US

• Purpose: Limit the screen to U.S.-listed stocks.
• Rationale: This helps ensure the results are readily accessible to many investors and comparable in terms of reporting standards and market structure. If the user is looking for Nokia-like stocks in the U.S. market, this is a practical constraint.

7. operating_margin: min 0

• Purpose: Keep only companies with positive operating profitability.
• Rationale: This is important for analyzing a telecom name like Nokia, where investors generally want to see that the core business is at least generating operating profit.

8. net_margin: min 0

• Purpose: Require positive bottom-line profitability.
• Rationale: Positive net margin indicates the company is actually earning money after all expenses, which is a strong filter for avoiding weaker turnaround cases.

9. free_cash_flow_ttm: min 0

• Purpose: Select companies generating positive free cash flow over the trailing twelve months.
• Rationale: Free cash flow is crucial for capital-intensive telecom businesses. This filter helps identify companies that can fund operations, investment, and shareholder returns without relying heavily on outside capital.

10. pe_ttm: min 0, max 25

• Purpose: Keep valuation within a reasonable range.
• Rationale: Nokia-style stocks are usually analyzed as value/quality plays rather than high-growth names. A P/E cap helps avoid overvalued companies and keeps the screen grounded in reasonable earnings multiples.

11. ev_ebitda: min 0, max 15

• Purpose: Use an enterprise-value-based valuation screen.
• Rationale: EV/EBITDA is especially useful for telecom and infrastructure businesses because it adjusts for debt and capital structure. A moderate cap like 15 helps find attractively valued, operationally sound stocks.

Why Results Match:

• The full filter set is designed to find large, established, lower-risk telecom-related companies with positive profitability, positive cash generation, and reasonable valuation.
• That combination fits a user asking to analyze Nokia, because Nokia is generally evaluated as a mature telecom/infrastructure stock where financial stability, cash flow, valuation, and trend matter more than aggressive growth.
• Individually, each filter removes a different kind of mismatch:
  • size and sector filters keep the search aligned with Nokia’s business profile,
  • profitability and cash flow filters ensure the company is fundamentally healthy,
  • valuation filters avoid overpriced names,
  • beta and moving-average filters add a stability/trend overlay for a cleaner stock analysis universe.

If you want, I can also explain whether these filters are a good match for Nokia specifically or whether they are more appropriate for finding Nokia-like peer stocks.
