Top Dow stocks

Screening Filters

1. is_index_component: ['DJI']
   • Purpose: Limits the stock universe to companies that are current constituents of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA).
   • Rationale:
     • Your question specifically asks for “top-performing stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.”
     • Before ranking by performance (e.g., over 1 month, YTD, 1 year, etc.), we first need to restrict the list to only those stocks that are actually in the DJIA.
     • The is_index_component: ['DJI'] filter ensures we’re not mixing in companies from the S&P 500, Nasdaq, or other markets—only the 30 Dow components are included.

Why Results Match:

• The filter aligns the stock universe exactly with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which is the benchmark you specified.
• Once this DJIA-only subset is defined, we can then sort those stocks by a chosen performance metric (e.g., total return over a given period) to identify the “top-performing” names within that index, rather than across the entire market.
