Screens narrow chaos into manageable candidates
Price drops alone don’t signal opportunity
Analyst conviction helps filter false bargains
AI accelerates pattern-finding, not decision-making
Screening is triage, not stock picking
The Reframe
Most people think stock screening is about finding “cheap” stocks.
That’s not what actually works.
Price declines are common.
Recoveries are selective.
What matters isn’t how far a stock has fallen.
It’s whether informed participants still believe the business is intact.
Screens don’t tell you what to buy.
They tell you where to look next.
Used correctly, AI turns screening from guesswork into structured triage.
The Insight
A useful screen combines three signals, not one.
First, drawdown.
A meaningful selloff creates attention and potential mispricing.
Second, external conviction.
Analyst ratings and price targets aren’t gospel, but they reveal whether institutions think the selloff went too far.
Third, survivability.
Market cap, liquidity, and earnings power reduce the odds you’re just catching a falling knife.
The mistake most people make is stopping after step one.
AI helps by:
Scanning thousands of symbols instantly
Applying consistent filters without emotion
Ranking results so humans can focus attention
The judgment still belongs to you.
How to Use It
This is a screening workflow, not an investing strategy.
Educational Use Only.
Not investment advice.
No recommendation to buy or sell any security.

You’re hunting overreactions.

Universe: U.S.-listed stocks with market cap above $5B.
Output: Table with Symbol, Company Name, % Decline, Market Cap.
Step 2: Layer in analyst conviction
This filters out companies Wall Street has abandoned.
Role: You are an equity research assistant.
Context: I have a list of stocks with large price declines.
Task: Filter for stocks with majority Buy or Overweight analyst ratings.
Include: Consensus price target and implied upside percentage.
Output: Ranked table by highest implied upside.
Input List: [PASTE SYMBOLS]
Step 3: Sanity-check the fundamentals
You’re not valuing the business.
You’re eliminating obvious landmines.
Role: You are a fundamentals screening assistant.
Context: These stocks passed price and analyst filters.
Task: Add basic health metrics to assess survivability.
Include: Revenue trend, TTM EPS, debt concerns, dividend status.
Output: Simple checklist-style summary per stock.
Input List: [PASTE SYMBOLS]

Recap & Close
Screens don’t find winners. They reduce noise.
Price drops matter only when conviction remains.
AI speeds the filtering, not the thinking.
The takeaway:
Good screening is about elimination, not prediction.
One action:
Build one screen this week and stop after the shortlist. Research comes later.
