Stocks under 200 ma for 52 weeks

Screening Filters

1. Market Capitalization ≤ $200,000,000 (market_cap: {max: 200000000})

   • Purpose: To focus on smaller companies whose total equity value is under $200 million, as requested.
   • Rationale:
     • Market capitalization is the standard way to classify company size (micro-cap, small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap, etc.).
     • By setting a maximum market cap of $200M, the screener excludes larger, more established firms and targets the micro/small-cap segment that matches your “under $200 million” requirement.
     • This ensures that every stock in the results meets your size constraint.

2. 1-Year Price Performance ≥ +20% (year_price_change_pct: {min: 20})

   • Purpose: To capture stocks that have “been performing well over the past 52 weeks.”
   • Rationale:
     • “Performing well” is translated into a minimum positive return over the last 52 weeks.
     • The filter requires at least +20% price appreciation over the past year, which is significantly above typical broad-market averages and thus a reasonable threshold for “strong performance.”
     • This avoids including stocks that are flat or only marginally up, focusing on names that have clearly outperformed over the last 12 months.

Why Results Match:

• The market_cap ≤ $200M filter directly satisfies your requirement to find stocks with a market capitalization under $200 million.
• The year_price_change_pct ≥ 20% filter approximates “have been performing well over the past 52 weeks” by requiring a meaningful positive 1-year return, using the standard 52-week (1-year) price change measure.

These filters together narrow the universe to smaller companies (under $200M) that have shown strong price performance over the last 52 weeks, which is exactly what your query describes.
