Which stocks are strong buys

Screening Filters

1. Market Capitalization (market_cap: min $10,000,000,000):

   • Purpose: To focus on large-cap companies with a market capitalization of at least $10 billion.
   • Rationale: Large-cap companies are generally more stable, well-established, and widely followed by analysts. This ensures that the stocks identified are from reputable companies with significant market presence, aligning with the user's interest in strong buy recommendations.

2. Price-to-Earnings Ratio (pe_ttm: max 20):

   • Purpose: To filter for stocks with a relatively low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, specifically under 20.
   • Rationale: A lower P/E ratio can indicate that a stock is undervalued relative to its earnings, making it more attractive to investors. This aligns with the user's interest in identifying strong buy opportunities, as undervalued stocks with strong fundamentals are often considered favorable investments.

3. Analyst Consensus (analyst_consensus: Strong Buy):

   • Purpose: To include only stocks that have received a "Strong Buy" rating from analysts.
   • Rationale: A "Strong Buy" rating reflects a high level of confidence from analysts in the stock's potential for growth or positive performance. This directly addresses the user's query by narrowing the results to stocks that analysts collectively recommend as strong buys.

Why Results Match:

• The filters collectively ensure that the stocks identified are large, stable companies (via the market cap filter) that are attractively priced (via the P/E ratio filter) and have strong analyst support (via the analyst consensus filter).
• By combining these criteria, the screener focuses on stocks that are not only fundamentally sound but also have a high probability of performing well, aligning with the user's request for "strong buy" stocks.
