We used Finder’s proprietary algorithm to rate stocks listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq based on price, performance, profit, revenue and dividends. Our fundamental analysis filters stocks by taking into account historical prices, dividends, revenue growth, (low) price volatility and profit margins.
This might indicate a quality stock, but we do not guarantee the performance or returns of any investment. To avoid smaller, more speculative stocks, we only include companies with a market cap of more than USD $1 billion. In order to better compare historical data, we filtered out stocks that have been listed for less than five years.
This methodology no doubt filters out some good stocks, so our decision to include or exclude a stock from our list doesn’t indicate whether it’s a good or bad investment. For more information about our algorithm, check out our stock ranking page.
