Vincent Grunte's Approach to AI-Driven Stock Scoring
We rank stocks with a transparent 0–100 score and then leverage AI to write a plain‑English explanation for the top opportunities.
With weekly data updates (Saturdays, 02:00 UTC), we emphasize fundamental strength and long-term value to highlight meaningful opportunities.

How It Works
When you buy a stock, you're buying a piece of a real company. Our goal is to help you find good companies at reasonable prices.
We Gather the Data
Every weekend we collect financial data for 5,600+ US stocks: revenue, profits, debt levels, growth rates, and more. This is the raw information that tells us how a company is actually doing.
We Score Every Stock
Each stock gets a score from 0 to 100 based on 6 factors: Quality, Health, Value, Growth, Sentiment, and Momentum. Higher scores mean stronger fundamentals and better value.
AI Explains the Best
For the top 100 stocks, AI (Claude) writes a plain-English explanation and highlights key risks. It also adds a market snapshot (trend, momentum, 52-week range) using real market data. It does not use analyst expectations.
Combined Score
We blend the algorithmic analysis (70%) with the AI's judgment (30%) to get a final Combined Score that balances data-driven precision with nuanced insight.
Clear Recommendations
Every stock gets a simple recommendation: BUY (strong opportunity), WATCH (decent but uncertain), or RISK (significant concerns).
Weekly Updates
All data refreshes every Saturday at 2 AM UTC. You're always looking at recent analysis, not stale data.
Key metrics (quick guide)
You do not need to be a finance expert. These are the most useful signals we look at:
- Free cash flow (FCF): cash left after running and investing in the business. Positive and stable FCF is often a good sign.
- FCF margin: FCF as a share of revenue. Higher means the company turns sales into real cash.
- FCF yield: FCF relative to market value. Higher can indicate better value, if cash generation is durable.
- Debt-to-equity: leverage. Lower is usually safer.
- Current ratio: short-term liquidity. Above 1.0 often means the company can cover near-term obligations.
The 6-Factor Methodology
We analyze every stock across 6 key dimensions. Here's what each factor measures in plain English.
Quality
25%
Is the company profitable?
A high-quality company is like a well-run restaurant - it keeps costs low and earns
good profit on every sale. We look at profit margins, return on equity (ROE), and
how efficiently the company operates.
Health
20%
Can the company pay its bills?
A healthy company is like someone with a good emergency fund - they can handle tough
times without going bankrupt. We check debt levels, cash reserves, and whether the
company generates real cash.
Value
20%
Is the price reasonable?
Even a great company can be a bad investment at the wrong price. We compare the
stock price to earnings, book value, and sales to find stocks that might be
undervalued.
Growth
15%
Is the business expanding?
Growth companies are expanding their pie - more customers, more sales, more profit.
We track whether revenue and earnings are increasing year over year.
Sentiment
10%
What does the market think?
We track news sentiment to capture the market mood around a stock. We do not use
analyst expectations or earnings surprises.
Momentum
10%
Is the stock trending up?
Stocks that are rising often keep rising for a while. We look at recent price trends
and technical indicators, but weight this lower because fundamentals matter more
long-term.
Simple Recommendations
Every stock gets a clear, simple recommendation based on its score.
BUY
Score 70+
The company has strong fundamentals, a reasonable price, and positive signals. This
is a quality opportunity worth considering.
WATCH
Score 50-69
Decent company but not compelling right now. Keep an eye on it - things could
improve or get worse.
RISK
Score below 50
Significant concerns exist - weak fundamentals, high debt, or other red flags.
Approach with extreme caution.
