Show me stocks benefiting from Iran war

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $1B ('market_cap': {'min': '1000000000'})

   • Purpose: Focus on larger, more established U.S. companies.
   • Rationale:
     • Conflicts like a war involving Iran tend to impact major defense contractors and large energy companies more than tiny microcaps.
     • Larger caps usually have better liquidity, more analyst coverage, and clearer links to geopolitical events, making them more plausible candidates for “benefiting” (i.e., seeing increased demand, contracts, or pricing power).

2. Price Above 20-Day Moving Average ('moving_average_relationship': ['PriceAboveMA20'])

   • Purpose: Capture stocks currently in a short-term uptrend.
   • Rationale:
     • If the market believes a company could benefit from the Iran situation, that expectation is often reflected in recent price strength.
     • Trading above the 20-day moving average is a basic technical sign that buying pressure is stronger than selling over the last month or so.

3. 1-Week Price Change ≥ +1% ('week_price_change_pct': {'min': '1'})

   • Purpose: Ensure some very recent positive momentum.
   • Rationale:
     • A war-related shock or escalation is often reflected in short-term price reactions.
     • Requiring at least modest gains over the last week helps identify names the market is currently bidding up, potentially in response to recent developments around Iran.

4. 1-Month Price Change ≥ +3% ('month_price_change_pct': {'min': '3'})

   • Purpose: Filter for stocks with sustained recent strength, not just a 1–2 day spike.
   • Rationale:
     • If tensions or events surrounding Iran have been building, beneficiaries often show a positive trend over several weeks.
     • A minimum 3% gain over a month suggests persistent buying interest consistent with perceived tailwinds (e.g., higher defense spending, higher oil prices).

5. Themes: Aerospace & Defense, Oil Sector ('themes': ['Aerospace & Defense', 'Oil sector'])

   • Purpose: Focus on sectors most directly and historically impacted by Middle East conflicts.
   • Rationale:
     • Aerospace & Defense: Wars and heightened geopolitical risk often lead to expectations of increased defense budgets, arms orders, and military support contracts. Defense contractors, weapons manufacturers, and related service providers are natural “beneficiary” candidates.
     • Oil sector: Iran is a major player in the oil-rich Middle East, and any conflict in or around it can tighten supply expectations or increase risk premia, often driving oil prices higher. U.S. oil producers, refiners, and service companies can benefit from higher prices or increased demand for secure supply.

6. Region: United States ('region': ['United States'])

   • Purpose: Restrict results to U.S.-listed companies, matching your request.
   • Rationale:
     • You explicitly asked for “US stocks,” so the screener excludes non-U.S. names, even if they might also be affected by the Iran situation.
     • This keeps the list aligned with U.S. markets and regulatory context.

Why Results Match

• The sector filters (Aerospace & Defense, Oil) target industries most likely to see increased demand, pricing power, or contract flows from an Iran-related conflict.
• The U.S. region filter directly aligns with your “US stocks” requirement.
• The market cap threshold focuses on sizeable, liquid companies that realistically move in response to geopolitical events and are investable for most traders.
• The price above 20-day MA plus 1-week and 1-month positive performance filters prioritize stocks that the market is currently rewarding—i.e., those already showing signs of benefiting (or being perceived as beneficiaries) from the Iran war dynamics, rather than names that theoretically could benefit but show no price confirmation.
