Next Steps
- The price is just leaving its low. Watch for a lasting move above the 50- and 200-day averages to see the trend settle.
- Profit is outgrowing sales. Check whether margin expansion is lasting (pricing power) or temporary (cost cuts, one-offs).
- Earnings in 2 days. The result can move the price sharply; account for that risk.
- Write down the concrete reason for growth: a new product, a contract, management or an industry shift. If you cannot say it in one sentence, waiting may be the better choice.
What You Should Check
- Is there a concrete reason for growth, and can you say it in one sentence?
- Where does the valuation sit against sector peers?
- Does the chart confirm the trend, or are you fighting a falling price?
- Is the position size within the loss you could bear if you are wrong?
The score averages the measurable rules with category weights: growth 30, price strength 20, profitability 15, health 15, ownership 10, catalysts 10. A pass counts in full, a caution half; rules we cannot measure stay out. A stock that hits an elimination rule is capped at 45. Growth above 300% counts as a base effect and is marked as a caution.
