What we looked at
Each group starts from a broad screen, then the candidates are ordered by a combined fundamentals-and-trend read. We show the two names at the top and the two at the bottom of that order — so you see both ends of the same filter, not a pick list. Click any card for the full case study.

These names showed up because of where they landed in the day’s screen — top or bottom — not because of any opinion on where the price goes next. We are describing what happened, not forecasting what will.
