Show me stocks with strong buy sentiment

Screening Filters

1. list_exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE']

   • Purpose: Restrict results to major U.S. stock exchanges.
   • Rationale:
     • XNYS = NYSE, XNAS = NASDAQ, XASE = NYSE American.
     • The user asked for “US stocks,” and these are the primary U.S. listing venues.
     • This ensures we’re not including OTC, pink sheets, or foreign exchanges that might not fit the user’s intent.

2. analyst_consensus: ['Strong Buy']

   • Purpose: Capture stocks with the most bullish analyst ratings.
   • Rationale:
     • “Strong Buy” is the highest conviction rating in most analyst rating systems.
     • This filter directly translates the user’s “strong buy sentiment” into a quantifiable criterion, focusing on stocks where the majority of covering analysts have the most positive stance.

3. target_price_upside_potential: ['MoreAbovePrice']

   • Purpose: Ensure analysts’ target prices are meaningfully above the current stock price.
   • Rationale:
     • “Strong buy sentiment” typically implies analysts not only like the stock qualitatively but also see upside in price.
     • This filter keeps only stocks where the consensus target implies further appreciation, aligning sentiment with expected return, not just rating labels.

4. quarter_eps_yoy_growth: {'min': '10'}

   • Purpose: Require at least 10% year-over-year EPS growth in the latest quarter.
   • Rationale:
     • Positive and solid earnings growth often underpins bullish analyst sentiment.
     • By insisting on ≥10% EPS growth, the screen emphasizes companies where optimism is supported by improving fundamentals, not just hype.

5. market_cap: {'min': '10000000000'} (≥ $10B)

   • Purpose: Focus on larger, established companies (large caps).
   • Rationale:
     • Larger caps tend to have broader analyst coverage, making consensus ratings and target prices more reliable.
     • For a “strong buy sentiment” screen, this helps avoid tiny or speculative names where one or two analysts can skew the signal.

6. monthly_average_dollar_volume: {'min': '1000000'} (≥ $1M/month)

   • Purpose: Ensure minimum liquidity.
   • Rationale:
     • Stocks with low trading volume can be hard to enter or exit without moving the price.
     • Adding a liquidity threshold helps make the results more investable and aligned with what most users expect when asking for “stocks with strong buy sentiment.”
