Earnings & Surprises
Big Earnings Surprise
Source: fundamental data & SEC filings (annual and quarterly reports, 10-K/10-Q) · showing the 25 strongest hits
Reported earnings per share came in at least 20% above the analyst estimate in each of the last 4 completed quarters — consistently large earnings surprises. Companies that beat expectations this clearly and this consistently are systematically underestimated by analysts; the estimates are lagging the business. Source: fundamental data.
Global filters: 10- and 30-day ADR must be ≥ 1% (too little movement gets cut); names with a red Stress RS (rating ≤ 30 — weak on stress days) are excluded.

Terms in This Scanner Explained
(16)
- ADR (Average Daily Range)
- The average daily swing of a stock in percent - measured over 10 or 30 trading days (columns "ADR 10D/30D"). An ADR of 5% means: on a normal day the gap between the intraday low and high runs about 5%. Traders look for movement - that is why stocks with an ADR under 1% are filtered out globally. Not to be confused with ADR meaning "American Depositary Receipt" (a US certificate for foreign shares) - here ADR always means the daily swing.
- AI Classification
- Our company-by-company assessment of the AI boom based on SEC filings (the last four quarterly 10-Q reports and two annual 10-K reports): "Sells AI" (AI is a revenue source), "Threatened" (AI is a concrete business risk), "Uses AI" (operational use), or "Neutral" (no material AI exposure). Every classification requires at least two direct quote citations - otherwise the column shows "-". Not a quality judgment or a buy recommendation; the full file is on the stock page, methodology at /stocks/ai-rating-methodology.
- Analysis (Full Company Analysis)
- If the Analysis column shows "Read," there is an in-depth Minnow Street company analysis for this stock: business model, scanner findings, quarterly results, evidence from SEC filings, plus opportunities and risks. One click opens it directly.
- Avg/Yr 3Y (Average Annual Return)
- The stock's average annual return over the past 3 years. Shows at a glance whether a stock delivers over the long run or just had a short hot streak.
- Earnings Date
- The date of the next quarterly earnings report. Price gaps in either direction are common around this date - that is why we color it red when it is 7 days away or less, and yellow when it is 14 days away or less: elevated risk for fresh positions.
- EPS (Earnings per Share)
- Quarterly earnings divided by the number of shares outstanding. The most important growth metric: if EPS rises strongly over several quarters, the company is earning more money per share.
- Free Cash Flow (FCF)
- Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures - the money left over for everything else (debt paydown, acquisitions, or buybacks). Consistently positive free cash flow is one of the most honest signs of a healthy business model.
- Funda Rating (Fundamental Rating A+ to F)
- Our proprietary fundamental rating from -100 to +100 with a school-grade rank from A+ to F. Every stock is scored against all others by percentile: growth in earnings and revenue, earnings surprises, analyst estimates, and quality criteria such as margins, cash flow, and balance-sheet strength. A/A+ are the fundamentally strongest stocks in the universe.
- Market Capitalization (Mkt Cap)
- The market value of the company: share price x total shares outstanding, shown here in billions of dollars. Micro caps (< $0.3B) are small and volatile, mega caps (> $200B) are heavyweights. Our scanner universe is deliberately capped at $50B - we look for stocks with room to run.
- Net Margin
- How much of revenue is left as profit? Net income divided by revenue, in percent. A 20% margin means: out of every dollar of revenue, 20 cents is left as profit. Rising margins are a strong quality signal.
- Operating Cash Flow (OCF)
- The cash that actually flows into the company from day-to-day operations - without accounting effects such as depreciation. A company can report book profits while still burning cash; operating cash flow reveals that.
- Piotroski F-Score
- A balance-sheet health check developed by Joseph Piotroski: 9 yes/no criteria covering earnings, cash flow, leverage, and efficiency produce a score from 0 to 9. Scores of 7 or higher are considered financially very solid, scores under 3 a warning sign.
- Sector & Industry
- Two levels of industry classification: sector is broad (e.g., Technology), industry is narrow (e.g., Semiconductors). Many strategies watch industry strength, because strong stocks are almost always found in strong industries.
- Stage (Weinstein Stages 1-4)
- Stan Weinstein divides every price chart into four stages: Stage 1 = basing (sideways after a downtrend), Stage 2 = uptrend (the only buying stage), Stage 3 = topping, Stage 4 = downtrend (avoid, or short candidate). Measured against the 30-week line (150-day moving average) and its slope.
- Stress RS (Strength on Stress Days)
- A stress day is a day on which both the overall market and the stock's own sector fell at least 0.5%. Stress RS counts on how many of these days the stock still closed green (shown as "g/n" = green days out of n stress days) and turns that into a rating from 1 to 99. High values point to buyers stepping in even on weak days - often a sign of institutional accumulation.
- Surprise (Earnings/Sales Surprise)
- The gap between reported numbers and the analyst estimate. Positive earnings or sales surprises force analysts to raise their models - which often triggers weeks of follow-on buying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reported earnings per share came in at least 20% above the analyst estimate in each of the last 4 completed quarters — consistently large earnings surprises. Companies that beat expectations this clearly and this consistently are systematically underestimated by analysts; the estimates are lagging the business. Source: fundamental data.
All scanners are recalculated daily across the entire stock universe — most recently on 21. July 2026. The data basis is fundamental data and SEC filings (10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports).
Currently, 81 stocks pass this scanner's criteria (as of 21. July 2026). The 25 strongest hits are shown.
Global filters: 10- and 30-day ADR must be ≥ 1% (too little movement gets cut); names with a red Stress RS (rating ≤ 30 — weak on stress days) are excluded.
