▸ What do the gate failures mean? (click to expand)

Each stock must pass a set of quality gates before the algo marks it "Actionable." A gate failure means the stock broke one of the rules. The notation is always metric value ≥ or ≤ threshold.

What you seePlain EnglishWhy it matters
D/E 67.4x ≥ 2.0 Debt-to-Equity ratio is 67.4×, failing the <2× limit.
D/E measures how much debt a company has for every $1 of shareholder equity. A reading of 67.4× means the company technically has $67.40 of debt per $1 of equity.
Note: a very high D/E can be a GAAP accounting artifact — companies that aggressively buy back their own stock can show negative or near-zero equity on paper, making D/E look extreme even when real debt is manageable. Always cross-check with Net Debt / EBITDA.
High debt = more interest expense, less flexibility in a downturn. Threshold of 2× catches genuinely over-leveraged companies.
FCF yield < 5% Free Cash Flow Yield is below 5%. FCF yield = annual free cash flow ÷ market cap. It tells you how much real cash the business generates for every dollar of its price. Below 5% means you're paying a lot for each dollar of cash — the stock is expensive or the business isn't generating enough cash yet.
P/E > sector median Price-to-Earnings ratio is above the median for its sector peers. P/E = stock price ÷ earnings per share. Paying more than peers for similar earnings. Doesn't automatically disqualify — growth stocks can deserve a premium — but it flags valuation risk.
Drawdown < 20% Stock hasn't fallen enough from its 52-week high. The screener looks for beaten-down stocks (>20% off peak) because that's where mispricing tends to occur. Stocks near their highs offer less margin of safety. We want stocks the market has already punished.
MoS < 25% Margin of Safety is below 25%. MoS = (DCF intrinsic value − current price) ÷ intrinsic value. It's the discount you're getting to the algo's estimate of true value. A 25% cushion protects you if the DCF assumptions turn out slightly wrong. Below 25% means you're paying close to (or above) estimated fair value.
ROIC < WACC Return on Invested Capital is below the Weighted Average Cost of Capital. ROIC = how much profit the business generates on the money invested in it. WACC = the minimum return investors require. If ROIC < WACC, the business is destroying value — earning less than it costs to fund itself. A business must earn more on capital than it costs to raise that capital, or it shrinks shareholder value over time.

A gate failure doesn't always mean "never buy." UHS (this week's pick) fails the D/E gate due to buyback accounting — its real leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA 1.9×) is fine. Read the full report for context on any gate failure before deciding.
