Fundamental Screener

3,057 US filers ranked on three documented accounting anomalies — accruals, asset growth and net share issuance — computed directly from SEC XBRL filings for fiscal 2024 against 2023. No data vendor is involved, and no figure here is estimated.

Read this before using it

The frames API returns each company's most recently reported value for a period, so restatements overwrite the figure originally filed. These series are therefore not point-in-time and must not be used to backtest — a backtest would use numbers that were not knowable on the test date.

Green is the end of each range the cited research associates with higher subsequent returns; red the other end. That is a historical association from the papers cited below, not a prediction, and not a recommendation. A dash means the company did not report the tags that signal needs.

The three signals

Each is a published cross-sectional association between an accounting quantity and subsequent stock returns, replicated independently after publication. Each is computable from filings alone, which is why these three and not others.

Asset growth

Assets_t / Assets_{t-1} − 1

Historically, LOW asset growth was associated with higher subsequent returns.

Cooper, Gulen & Schill (2008), Journal of Finance 63(4)

Reported for 3,057 of 3,057 companies.

Accruals

(Net income − Operating cash flow) / average total assets

Historically, LOW accruals were associated with higher subsequent returns.

Sloan (1996), The Accounting Review 71(3)

Reported for 3,057 of 3,057 companies.

Net share issuance

Shares issued_t / Shares issued_{t-1} − 1

Historically, share repurchasers outperformed issuers.

Pontiff & Woodgate (2008), Journal of Finance 63(2)

Reported for 2,372 of 3,057 companies.

These are the extremes of the whole screened universe, not of the table above. An extreme value is more often an accounting event — an acquisition, a spin-off, a reverse merger — than a signal, and none of these lists is a recommendation.

How the numbers were built

The SEC's XBRL frames API returns one reported fact for every filer in a period in a single request — roughly 6,000 companies' total assets in one call. That is what makes a market-wide screen possible without a data vendor, and because SEC filings are US government works in the public domain, the results can be published here without the licence restrictions that every free price API imposes.

Each company's annual flow window (from the NetIncomeLoss frame) defines its own fiscal year. The balance sheets used are the ones whose period ends fall closest to that window's start and end, within 21 days. This is why a September-year-end filer is measured on September balance sheets rather than December ones, and why the accrual denominator covers the same twelve months as its numerator.

Companies were checked against their filings before publication. Apple's fiscal 2024 total assets resolve to $364.98bn against $352.58bn a year earlier, a 3.5% asset growth, and accruals of −6.8% from $93.7bn of net income against $118.3bn of operating cash flow — each matching the 10-K. Microsoft resolves to its June year end, NVIDIA and Walmart to their January ones.

Coverage, and what was excluded

6,047 filers reported an annual income statement for the period. 3,057 survived to the screen. Every exclusion is counted rather than silently dropped:

below min assets1,661
no ticker495
no fye balance sheet413
no prior balance sheet262
no flows122
nonpositive assets21
flow windows differ16

Limitations

Not point in time

The frames API returns each company's most recently reported value for a period, so restatements overwrite the figure originally filed. These series are therefore not point-in-time and must not be used to backtest — a backtest would use numbers that were not knowable on the test date.

Fiscal alignment

Companies are measured on their own fiscal years, not on a common date. A September-year-end filer's figures cover October to September; a December filer's cover the calendar year. Every ratio is therefore internally consistent, but two companies in the same ranking may be describing twelve-month windows that overlap only partly.

No industry adjustment

Financials and REITs carry balance sheets that are not comparable to operating companies on these ratios. No industry classification is applied, because SIC codes are not in the frames response; the ranks are raw cross-sectional ranks.

Anomalies are historical

Every signal here is a published historical association, measured on past decades of data by its authors. None is a prediction, and several documented anomalies have weakened or vanished since publication.
