Growth
Thomas' Favorites
Source: fundamental data & SEC filings (annual and quarterly reports, 10-K/10-Q)
Thomas' personal favorite combination: (1) big growth — quarterly earnings per share (EPS) ≥ 25% AND quarterly revenue ≥ 20% year-over-year; (2) a healthy balance sheet — Piotroski F-Score ≥ 6 AND Altman Z ≥ 3 (safe, distress-remote zone); (3) a genuine positive surprise in the most recent quarter on BOTH earnings and revenue versus the analyst estimate (fundamental data); (4) still-small market cap ≤ $10 billion, so plenty of room to run; (5) institutional ownership still < 70%, leaving room for large funds to keep adding (demand reserve). Financials and REITs are excluded because 'revenue' isn't defined consistently for them. Stocks distorted by reverse splits are automatically filtered out via the global splitFlag.
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
(20)
- 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.
- Altman Z-Score
- A bankruptcy early-warning system developed by Edward Altman: several balance-sheet ratios are combined into one score. Values above 3 are considered a safe zone, values below about 1.1 a distress zone with elevated bankruptcy risk.
- 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.
- Institutions (Funds & Large Holders)
- Funds, pension plans, and asset managers - they move the big money and must disclose their US holdings quarterly. When the number of funds adding to a position rises, that is called institutional accumulation: the fuel behind major trends.
- 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.
- Reverse Split
- A share consolidation, e.g., 10 old shares become 1 new share - the price appears to jump tenfold without the company becoming worth more. Struggling companies use this to avoid looking like a penny stock; we automatically filter out such distorted stocks.
- 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.
- YoY (Year-over-Year)
- Year over Year: the quarter is compared with the same quarter of the prior year, not the previous quarter. This removes seasonal effects (holiday shopping, etc.) and is the standard for growth rates.
