Stocks gain $5.00 in 2026

Screening Filters

1. year_price_change_pct ≥ 0.01 (≥ +1% price change this year)
   • Purpose: To include only stocks that have risen in price (at least 1%) during the current year (2026).
   • Rationale:
     • Your question asks for stocks that have “gained $5.00 in 2026,” which means you’re looking for stocks that have gone up in price during 2026 by a certain absolute dollar amount.
     • Our screener does not support filtering by an absolute dollar gain (e.g., “+ $5.00”). Instead, it supports percentage-based performance filters.
     • By setting a minimum positive year-to-date (YTD) percentage change, we at least ensure that all returned stocks have gained value in 2026, which is directionally aligned with your request.

Why These Filters Don’t Perfectly Match Your Request

• You asked for: “stocks that have gained $5.00 in 2026.”
  That’s an absolute price move condition:

  Current Price – Price at start of 2026 ≥ $5.00

• The applied filter uses:

  year_price_change_pct ≥ 0.01 → at least +1% gain this year.

• To directly match “+ $5” we would need:

  • A filter on absolute price change in dollars (e.g., year_price_change_abs >= 5), or
  • A combination of starting price and percentage change (e.g., if a stock started at $100, then +5% = +$5), which our screener does not currently support as a direct condition.

Because the system only offers percentage change, we cannot precisely screen for “+ $5.00” gains.

Why the Current Filter Is Still Useful

Even though we can’t target the exact +$5 gain:

• All stocks in the results will have gained value in 2026, which aligns with your goal of finding “gainers” this year.
• For higher-priced stocks, a modest percentage move can easily exceed $5. For example:
  • A $200 stock only needs a +2.5% move to gain $5.
• If you focus on stocks above certain price levels (not explicitly filtered here, but you could apply a minimum price in a next step), then a given percentage increase corresponds to a meaningful dollar move.

If you’d like, you can refine this further by:

• Adding a minimum current price (e.g., price ≥ $50 or $100), so that a given percentage move implies a larger absolute dollar change, getting you closer to the “+ $5 in 2026” idea.
