Select 5 stocks with strong buy rating

Screening Filters

1. Market Capitalization (market_cap: min $10 billion):

   • Purpose: To focus on large-cap companies with a market capitalization of at least $10 billion.
   • Rationale: Large-cap companies are generally more stable, well-established, and widely followed by analysts. These companies are less volatile compared to smaller firms, making them more likely to have reliable analyst ratings and consistent performance. This aligns with the user's request for stocks with strong buy ratings, as larger companies are more likely to meet this criterion.

2. Price-to-Earnings Ratio (pe_ttm: max 20):

   • Purpose: To filter for stocks that are relatively undervalued or reasonably priced based on their earnings.
   • Rationale: A P/E ratio of 20 or below is often considered a benchmark for identifying stocks that are not excessively overvalued. By applying this filter, the screener ensures that the selected stocks are not only highly rated by analysts but also offer good value for their earnings, which increases their attractiveness to investors.

3. Analyst Consensus (analyst_consensus: Strong Buy):

   • Purpose: To select stocks that have received a "Strong Buy" rating from analysts.
   • Rationale: This filter directly addresses the user's request by narrowing down the list to stocks that analysts have a high level of confidence in. A "Strong Buy" rating typically indicates that analysts expect significant upside potential for the stock.

Why Results Match:

• The filters collectively ensure that the selected stocks are large, stable companies with strong fundamentals (market cap filter), are reasonably priced (P/E filter), and have been highly rated by analysts (Strong Buy filter).
• By combining these criteria, the screener identifies stocks that are not only highly recommended by analysts but also have characteristics that make them attractive investment opportunities. This approach increases the likelihood of finding high-quality stocks that align with the user's request.
