Eliminate the Noise

Six forensic filters run before a single score is calculated. Penny stocks, delistings, accounting manipulation (Beneish M-Score), bankruptcy risk (Altman Z-Score), illiquid names, and data-insufficient tickers are removed on sight.

Score What Remains

Every survivor is ranked on five orthogonal factors: Quality, Value, Momentum, Sentiment, and Growth. Each factor is a percentile rank within the stock's GICS sector — not an arbitrary weighting. The composite score combines all five into a single number you can audit down to the formula.

Surface the Survivors

Only the highest-scoring positions survive to your screen. No opinions, no narratives — just the stocks that passed every filter and ranked highest across all five factors within their sector.

Common Questions

A deterministic scoring engine that evaluates every US-listed equity using forensic elimination filters and multi-factor analysis. It has no analysts, no opinions, and no override button. Same inputs, same outputs, every time.

No. Margin Invest is an analytical tool, not a financial advisor. We don’t make recommendations — we show you what the math says and let you decide. All scores are informational and educational. You are responsible for your own investment decisions.

Zacks shows you a rank. We show you the formula. Every score links to its calculation, every threshold is published, and every elimination is explained. You can verify any number with a spreadsheet and the same data sources. Transparency is the product.

Six forensic screens including: Beneish M-Score (earnings manipulation detection), Altman Z-Score (bankruptcy probability), penny stock exclusion, delisting detection, minimum liquidity thresholds, and data sufficiency requirements. 70%+ of US equities fail at least one filter.

We compare stocks to their sector peers, not to the entire market. A bank with 15% ROIC is excellent — among banks. A tech company with 15% ROIC is below average — among tech. Sector-neutral scoring prevents false comparisons.

We publish every score in real time with timestamps. You can track what the system scored highly and compare it to actual outcomes over time. We’re building the track record live, in public, starting at launch.

Yes. Cancel in your account settings. Takes effect immediately. No penalties, no calls with a “retention specialist.”
