Screening Filters
analyst_consensus = Strong Buy
- Purpose: Directly capture stocks that Wall Street analysts collectively rate as a “Strong Buy.”
- Rationale:
- The user explicitly asked for “stocks … rated as strong buy,” so this is the core filter.
- It typically means a high proportion of Buy vs Hold/Sell ratings (e.g., mostly Buys, few or no Sells), so it aligns precisely with the intent of finding analyst-favored names.
target_price_upside_potential = MoreAbovePrice
- Purpose: Ensure that the analyst consensus price targets are meaningfully above the current market price.
- Rationale:
- A “Strong Buy” rating without upside in the target price is less useful.
- This filter focuses on stocks where analysts not only like the business but also see further upside from today’s price, which is usually what users care about when asking for “strong buy” ideas.
market_cap_category = ['large', 'mega']
- Purpose: Limit results to large and mega-cap companies.
- Rationale:
- Large/mega caps (like TSLA, NVDA, GOOGL, AAPL — which you’ve asked about before) are widely covered by analysts, making consensus ratings more robust and less noisy.
- These companies typically have more stable business models and better disclosure, which improves the reliability of analyst opinions.
monthly_average_dollar_volume >= 1,000,000
- Purpose: Require a minimum level of trading liquidity.
- Rationale:
- Ensures the stocks are actually tradable with reasonable spreads and capacity, important for both retail and active traders.
- Filters out illiquid names where analyst ratings may exist but are harder to act on in size or with tight execution.
is_index_component = ['GSPC'] (S&P 500 membership)
- Purpose: Restrict the universe to S&P 500 constituents.
- Rationale:
- S&P 500 names are generally high‑quality, established companies that are heavily followed by institutional investors and analysts.
- This further increases the reliability of the “Strong Buy” signal and keeps results in the same large-cap universe as the stocks you’ve been asking about.
Why Results Match Your Request
- The analyst_consensus = Strong Buy filter directly answers your question about “stocks … rated as strong buy.”
- The other filters (S&P 500 membership, large/mega cap, liquidity, and upside vs current price) refine that universe to liquid, widely-followed, higher-quality stocks where analysts both like the name and see meaningful upside, making the results more actionable and relevant for an investor looking for strong-buy ideas rather than obscure or thinly traded names.
