Skill Positioning
This skill is used to filter strong candidate stocks from a large pool based on a growth stock selection framework, targeting stocks with "fundamental growth, market expectation reinforcement, leading price performance, and favorable supply-demand dynamics." The output does not mechanically apply labels to classic methodologies; instead, it integrates growth quality, earnings acceleration, relative strength, and market capital preference into a practical screening framework.
Feature Overview
The core function of this skill is to batch screen fundamentally strong symbiosis between growth and price action using a growth stock methodology.
It emphasizes combining growth, expectations, strength, supply-demand, and market themes to help users form a growth stock candidate pool that aligns with the "stronger stocks keep getting stronger" logic.
Use Cases
- Growth stock investors need to quickly identify the strongest growth stock candidates from a pool of stocks.
- After earnings season or during periods of strengthening fundamentals, the growth candidate pool needs to be updated in batches.
- Users want to simultaneously consider fundamental growth and market strength, rather than just a single dimension.
- Teams need to conduct structured screening within industries to determine "who is the strongest and why."
Working Principles
- Growth stock screening must consider both operational acceleration and market confirmation; it cannot rely solely on earnings growth rates.
- Relative price strength is both an outcome and a screening condition, but it cannot be used in isolation from fundamentals.
- Supply-demand structure and float characteristics must be considered; avoid looking only at static financial metrics.
- The methodology should serve practical screening; avoid writing it as a glossary of terms.
- Do not explicitly mention internal calling processes in the main text.
Execution Process
Step 1: Define Screening Scope and Growth Definition
First clarify whether this scan leans towards:
- Screening leaders in high-growth industries
- Horizontal multi-industry scanning for strong growth stocks
- Earnings growth stocks showing clear acceleration over recent quarters
- Thematic-driven cyclical growth stocks
Also confirm whether the user values earnings growth, revenue growth, or a combined profile of "growth + relative strength".
Step 2: First Screen for Operational Growth and Direction of Change
The first layer for growth stocks is whether operating metrics are improving. Key judgments:
- Are revenue, profits, margins, or core business indicators showing acceleration?
- Is growth driven by genuine demand expansion or a one-time fluctuation?
- Is current growth still improving, or has it already peaked?
- Does the company have the foundation to sustain high growth over the next several quarters?
Step 3: Combine Market Expectations with Earnings Validation
Whether a growth stock is worth tracking depends not only on financial reports but also on whether the market is willing to revise expectations upward. Key judgments:
- Have recent earnings reports or operational updates consistently strengthened market expectations?
- Do management guidance and industry feedback support further upward revisions?
- Did the market previously underestimate the growth intensity?
- If expectations are already high, is there still enough room for further upward revisions?
Step 4: Check Relative Strength and Leading Price Action
Growth stock selection must consider market confirmation. Focus on:
- Is the price performance significantly stronger than the broader market, the sector, and peer stocks?
- Is the strength steadily progressing, or is it a one-time surge after violent volatility?
- Does the stock have the attribute of attracting capital within its sector?
- Over the past period, have pullbacks been short and shallow, and uptrends more slope-filled?
Step 5: Evaluate Supply-Demand Structure and Trading Characteristics
Many growth stocks fail to strengthen not because of flawed logic, but because the supply-demand structure is unsupportive. Observe:
- Does the float, turnover, and chart structure support the continuation of the trend?
- Is there excessive crowding or clear profit-taking pressure?
- Is the market's preference for this growth style increasing?
- Does the current situation resemble an "institutional slow bull" more, or a "thematic fast up and down"?
Step 6: Identify True Priority Differences
Rank candidate stocks comprehensively by "growth acceleration + expectation upgrade capability + relative strength + supply-demand structure" to differentiate:
- Core growth strong stocks
- Logically good but waiting for confirmation: second-tier candidates
- Stocks with seemingly beautiful financial growth but not yet confirmed by the market: watchlist candidates
Step 7: Supplement with Risk and Failure Modes
Growth stock screening must proactively consider failure modes, such as:
- Unsustainable high growth
- Valuation overstretch too quickly
- Market style rotation towards defense
- Deteriorated supply-demand structure causing strength to break
Step 8: Integrate into Final Growth Stock Report
The final output should let the user know "who best fits the growth stock profile, why, whom to continue tracking, and whom to avoid." The main text should only present conclusions, rationale, and a follow-up observation framework.

Quality Requirements
- Must balance operational growth and market confirmation on both lines.
- Cannot equate high growth rates directly with strong growth stocks.
- Must explain whether supply-demand structure and style environment support continuation.
- Must distinguish between core candidates and observation objects with only growth narratives.
- Output should directly serve growth stock candidate pool management.
