Which stocks have strong buy rating?

Screening Filters

1. market_cap: { "min": 50,000,000,000 }

   • Purpose: Limit results to large-cap companies (market cap ≥ $50B).
   • Rationale:
     • The user asked broadly about US stocks with a strong buy rating. There are many such stocks across all sizes; this filter narrows the universe to established, highly capitalized companies.
     • Large caps tend to have more analyst coverage, so “Strong Buy” ratings are based on more robust and widely followed research, making the signal more meaningful.

2. list_exchange: ["XNYS", "XNAS", "XASE"]

   • Purpose: Restrict to stocks listed on major US exchanges:
     • XNYS = NYSE
     • XNAS = NASDAQ
     • XASE = NYSE American (formerly AMEX)
   • Rationale:
     • The user explicitly asked for stocks “in the US market.”
     • These codes capture the primary US equity exchanges, ensuring results are genuinely US-listed stocks, not foreign or over-the-counter securities.

3. is_index_component: ["GSPC", "DJI", "NDX"]

   • Purpose: Include only companies that are components of:
     • GSPC = S&P 500
     • DJI = Dow Jones Industrial Average
     • NDX = NASDAQ-100
   • Rationale:
     • These indices represent the most prominent, liquid, and widely followed US companies.
     • Combining this with the large-cap filter focuses on high-quality, blue-chip or near–blue-chip names where analyst ratings tend to be more reliable and regularly updated.
     • This matches the spirit of “which stocks” in a practical, investable sense, avoiding tiny or obscure companies.

4. analyst_consensus: ["Strong Buy"]

   • Purpose: Select only stocks with a current consensus analyst rating of “Strong Buy.”
   • Rationale:
     • This filter directly addresses the core of the user’s question about “strong buy” ratings.
     • It ensures the final list contains only those stocks where the aggregated view of covering analysts is very positive.

Why Results Match the User’s Request

• The US market constraint is handled by the list_exchange filter, ensuring only US-listed stocks are included.
• The “strong buy” requirement is satisfied explicitly by the analyst_consensus = Strong Buy filter.
• The large-cap and index membership filters (market_cap and is_index_component) go beyond the literal question to refine the universe to well-known, liquid, heavily analyzed US stocks, making the resulting list more practical and higher quality for most investors.
