Vincent Grunte's Approach to AI-Driven Stock Scoring
We rank stocks with a transparent 0–100 score and then ask AI to write a plain‑English explanation for the top opportunities.
Top 10 opportunities (right now)
These are ranked using the best available score. For the top 100 we store the AI-enhanced result when available. Click any ticker to see the full breakdown and the AI explanation.
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.
Understanding the Scores
The Score is Like a Grade
Every stock gets a score from 0 to 100, like a test grade. It combines many signals into one number so you can compare stocks quickly.
| 80–100 | Excellent - strong fundamentals, attractive price |
| 60–79 | Good - solid company worth considering |
| 40–59 | Average - nothing special, proceed with caution |
| Below 40 | Weak - significant concerns or risks |
Three Scores You'll See
| Opportunity Score | Our algorithm's rating based on fundamentals. Available for all stocks. |
| AI Score Top 100 | AI's independent opinion after reviewing the same reported fundamentals plus a market snapshot (trend, RSI/MACD, 52-week range). No analyst expectations. |
| Combined Score | Final score: 70% algorithm + 30% AI. Best of both worlds. |
Data Confidence
How complete is the data?
Not all stocks have complete financial information. The confidence indicator shows
how much data we had to work with.
| High (80%+) | Very reliable score |
| Medium (50-80%) | Use as a guide |
| Low (<50%) | Less reliable |
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.
