Strong buy stocks

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $10,000,000,000 & Market Cap Category: Large / Mega

   • Purpose: Focus on bigger, more established companies.
   • Rationale:
     • Large- and mega-cap stocks are generally more stable, widely followed by analysts, and less prone to extreme volatility than small caps.
     • When looking for “strong buy” ideas, investors often prefer companies with proven business models and solid balance sheets, which are more common in the $10B+ range.
     • This aligns with a typical institutional-style “strong buy” search rather than speculative small caps.

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $2,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensure stocks are sufficiently liquid and easy to trade.
   • Rationale:
     • Dollar volume (price × volume) of at least $2M per month helps avoid illiquid names that can have wide bid–ask spreads and be hard to enter/exit.
     • Strong buy calls are more actionable if you can actually trade the stock efficiently, which is especially important for US market investors who expect quick execution.

3. Analyst Consensus: Strong Buy

   • Purpose: Directly capture stocks that analysts collectively rate as “Strong Buy.”
   • Rationale:
     • This is the core of your request. It filters to companies where the average of covering analysts’ ratings falls into the highest conviction category (e.g., majority of ratings at the top level of their scale).
     • It excludes “Buy,” “Hold,” or lower, so you only see names with the strongest positive consensus.

4. Target Price Upside Potential: MoreAbovePrice

   • Purpose: Include only stocks where analysts’ consensus target price is above the current share price (i.e., expected upside).
   • Rationale:
     • A “Strong Buy” in name only is less meaningful if price targets show little or no upside.
     • This filter helps ensure that the analyst community not only likes the stock qualitatively but also sees material price appreciation potential from current levels.

Why Results Match:

• The “Strong Buy” consensus filter directly answers your request for strong buy stocks.
• The upside potential filter refines this to strong buys that are not already fully priced in.
• The large/mega cap and liquidity filters adapt your request to the US market context, focusing on established, actively traded companies where analyst ratings and targets are more reliable and actionable for most investors.
