With markets getting nervous around crude oil, inflation, and global uncertainty again, I’ve been trying to look for companies that can still stay fundamentally strong even in tougher macro conditions.
One interesting screener setup right now could be:
Screener Conditions
-
Revenue Growth YoY > 15%
-
Operating Profit Margin > 15%
-
Debt to Equity < 0.5
-
Interest Coverage Ratio > 5
-
ROCE > 18%
-
Promoter Holding > 50%
-
FII Holding increasing QoQ
-
200 DMA above 50 DMA (long-term trend still strong)
Why this screener?
The idea is to filter for companies that:
-
are still growing strongly
-
have manageable debt
-
can survive higher interest rates / inflation pressure
-
are attracting institutional confidence
-
still maintain strong long-term structure technically
In uncertain markets, weak balance sheets usually get punished first. Strong cash-generating businesses with lower leverage tend to hold up much better when volatility rises.
This kind of screener probably won’t catch the “highest momentum” names immediately, but it may help identify stocks where institutions could continue accumulating despite the macro fear.
I’m especially curious to see which sectors start dominating this screen now:
-
private banks?
-
defence?
-
energy?
-
consumption?
-
export-focused businesses?
Feels like we may be entering a phase where fundamentals start mattering a lot more again.
