Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $20,000,000,000 (Large-cap only)

   • Purpose: Focus on larger, more established U.S. companies.
   • Rationale: Since you asked for “one stock to invest in” (without specifying high risk or speculative plays), the screener limits results to large-cap companies (≥ $20B). These firms tend to be more stable, have stronger balance sheets, and are usually more resilient in downturns than small caps or microcaps.

2. Exchange in ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE'] (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX)

   • Purpose: Restrict to major U.S. stock exchanges.
   • Rationale: Your request is specifically for a U.S. stock. NYSE (XNYS), NASDAQ (XNAS), and AMEX (XASE) are the primary U.S. exchanges, known for higher listing standards, better liquidity, and more regulation and disclosure—important for a typical long-term investor.

3. is_index_component: ['GSPC'] (S&P 500 members only)

   • Purpose: Limit the universe to S&P 500 companies.
   • Rationale: The S&P 500 consists of 500 of the largest, most established U.S. companies that meet strict profitability, size, and liquidity requirements. This narrows your choices to high-quality, blue‑chip names rather than riskier or thinly traded stocks, which aligns well with a general “I want one stock to invest in” type request.

4. Return on Equity (ROE) ≥ 15%

   • Purpose: Ensure the company is using shareholders’ capital efficiently and profitably.
   • Rationale: ROE measures how effectively a company turns equity into profit. A threshold of 15% is relatively high and is commonly used to identify quality businesses with strong profitability and competitive advantages. This helps you avoid weak or mediocre companies within the S&P 500.

5. Annual Revenue YoY Growth ≥ 5%

   • Purpose: Filter for companies that are still growing their top line.
   • Rationale: Even among large, established firms, growth can vary widely. Requiring at least 5% year‑over‑year revenue growth screens out stagnating or shrinking businesses, and favors companies with ongoing demand for their products/services—supportive of long‑term investment returns.

6. P/E (TTM) between 10 and 30

   • Purpose: Avoid both very expensive and unusually cheap (potentially distressed) stocks.
   • Rationale:
     • A minimum P/E of 10 helps exclude extremely low‑valuation names that could signal underlying problems or market pessimism.
     • A maximum P/E of 30 prevents chasing highly speculative or overhyped companies trading at very rich valuations.
       This range targets companies that are reasonably valued relative to their earnings, which is a sensible starting point for a general investor.

Why Results Match What You Asked For

• The exchange and S&P 500 filters ensure you get a U.S.-listed, large, reputable company, suitable for a typical investor rather than a speculative trade.
• The market cap, ROE, and revenue growth filters tilt the search toward established, profitable, growing businesses, increasing the likelihood of a solid long‑term investment candidate.
• The P/E range keeps the list focused on reasonably valued stocks, not extremes that could be overhyped or deeply troubled.

Together, these filters build a focused list of strong, large U.S. companies from which a single, sensible investment candidate can be chosen.
