What AI related stocks did well last week?

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $1,000,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on larger, more established AI-related companies.
   • Rationale:
     • The user is asking about AI-related stocks that “performed well,” which usually implies names that are more widely followed and less speculative.
     • A minimum market cap of $1B screens out tiny or illiquid micro-caps whose price moves may be random or easily manipulated, and instead highlights companies where strong weekly performance is more meaningful.

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $1,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks are reasonably liquid and actively traded.
   • Rationale:
     • “Performed well” is more relevant when the stock trades enough volume that price moves reflect real investor interest.
     • A minimum of $1M in average monthly dollar volume filters out illiquid names where large percentage moves could occur on very little trading.

3. 1-Week Price Change ≥ +5%

   • Purpose: Capture stocks that have actually performed well over the last week.
   • Rationale:
     • The user is specifically asking about performance “during the last week.”
     • Using a 1-week price change filter, with a minimum gain of 5%, directly translates “performed well” into a measurable criterion—strong positive returns over that recent time frame.

4. Themes: “AI Beneficiary”, “Robotics”

   • Purpose: Limit results to companies meaningfully connected to AI and related automation technologies.
   • Rationale:
     • The user wants AI-related stocks.
     • The “AI Beneficiary” theme targets companies whose business models, products, or revenues are directly tied to AI technologies or that gain from broader AI adoption.
     • “Robotics” is closely linked to applied AI (e.g., industrial automation, autonomous systems), so including it broadens the AI-related universe while staying relevant to the theme.

5. Region: United States

   • Purpose: Restrict the universe to U.S.-based listings.
   • Rationale:
     • The user asks about stocks in the US stock market, so this filter excludes foreign markets and focuses on companies trading primarily in the U.S. environment and regulatory framework.

6. Exchanges: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)

   • Purpose: Focus on the main U.S. stock exchanges.
   • Rationale:
     • The primary liquid U.S. equity markets are NYSE, NASDAQ, and NYSE American.
     • Limiting to these exchanges ensures the results match what most investors consider the “US stock market” and avoids obscure over-the-counter or secondary venues.

Why Results Match:

• The AI themes filters ensure the stocks are directly or closely tied to AI/robotics, matching the “AI-related” requirement.
• The U.S. region and major exchange filters constrain the universe to what most investors recognize as the U.S. stock market.
• The 1-week price change ≥ 5% filter aligns with “performed well during the last week” by requiring a meaningful positive move in that exact time frame.
• The market cap and liquidity filters keep the focus on reasonably established, actively traded names, so the performance is more credible and investable rather than driven by illiquid, speculative moves.
