Filter the latest scan's published facts — sector, size, yield, valuation — or rank them with a preset: cheapest, fastest growing, most profitable. Every view shows what is in the filings and prices; none ranks opportunity. The model behind the statuses showed no predictive power, and nothing here is a recommendation.
Scan of 2026-08-31 · 2,409 names scored · prices as of that date
Highest trailing profitability and earnings quality versus sector peers, latest scan: sector percentiles on gross profitability, margins, cash conversion, returns on capital and the Piotroski F-score, averaged. A fact about the trailing record, not a claim that profitability persists or pays.
Tested the unforgiving way: a composite ranking built from these same point-in-time filings (2017-01-31 to 2026-05-29) showed no measurable predictive power (mean IC 0.0168, t = 1.21), and its top quintile did not beat holding everything even before costs. Ranks like these describe today's record; they do not predict tomorrow's return.

Never the absolute multiple alone. A P/E of 9 is a fact; whether it is low depends on what you hold it against.
The five-year window is the empirically privileged one. Cheap against its sector and cheap against its own history are different claims, and a stock can be one without being the other — which is the whole reason both columns are shown rather than blended into a single score.

"Quality composite" is a 0–100 position among valid sector peers — the mean of the component metrics' sector percentiles. "—" means the scan published no figure, deliberately. "n/a — masked" means the metric is misleading in that name's sector (a REIT's GAAP P/E, a bank's FCF yield) — hover for the reason, which comes from the same sector-validity rules the composite itself respects. An FY tag marks a trailing-year figure built from an annual filing; hover for what that means.
