Screening Filters
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.
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.
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.
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.
