09 July 2026 Screener

Zero actionable ideas (7/10+ with sufficient repetition). This was the first fully complete run under the Starter-plan FMP access (no rate-limit wall this time — all 513 tickers in the S&P 500 + Nasdaq-100 + non-US watchlist, minus the exclude list, screened cleanly).

Highest-conviction name this run: CMG (Chipotle), 7/10, but only 1st appearance → Watchlist, not actionable. Clean balance sheet, FCF ~$1.45B, buybacks accelerated to $2.4B (from $1.0B) even as the stock fell, and Q1 2026 snapped a 4-quarter comp/traffic decline streak. Counter-case: full-year guidance is still “flat” — one good quarter isn’t a confirmed trend yet.

ADBE escalated to Elevated (2nd appearance, fresh evidence both times) — the first escalation in this log’s history. AI-first ARR tripled YoY and a director made a genuine $1.9M open-market buy, offset by a fresh CFO resignation. Still not actionable, but worth watching for a 3rd appearance.

Six more names cleared quantitative and qualitative gates at sub-7 conviction and were logged to Watchlist: NFLX (6/10), CPRT (6/10), BR (6/10), CEG (5/10), CHTR (5/10), INTU (4/10) — each with a specific, named reason it fell short (unconfirmed catalyst, rich valuation despite the drawdown, fragile FCF, or a moat under direct quantified attack).

Rejected with fresh evidence: ORCL, ACN, FISV (repeat rejections — customer concentration, value-trap, respectively), NKE and CRWV (new rejections — collapsing FCF and debt-funded customer concentration).

Macro backdrop worsened, not improved: Iran ceasefire declared “over,” oil testing $80, Fed genuinely split on hikes vs. cuts against ~4% CPI, and a broad software/consulting/streaming selloff on AI-disruption fears (Taiwan’s central bank even flagged “AI bubble risk”). About 20 names that cleared the 40%-off-high bar (CSGP at -70%, BSX at -59%, among others) weren’t deep-dived this run due to time constraints and are flagged as priorities for next time.
