HOW TO READ THIS TABLE
Ranking = score on our 33-criterion screen (quality, financial condition, growth, earnings, valuation, momentum, ownership/liquidity) from each stock's Analysis & Valuation workbook, all priced at the September 4, 2026 close. Score measures how completely a stock passes the screen — the PROFILE matters as much as the number: MU RECLAIMS THE SERIES HIGH at 25/33 (+2) on an +8.98% week / +15.33% month rally that flipped momentum from 1/3 to 3/3; next earnings CONFIRMED Sep 30, 2026 (did not report early). TSM rises +2 to 24/33 on a broad chip-sector bounce (momentum 1/3 to 3/3, all periods positive), while UBER slips -1 to 24/33 as a -3.88% week cost its week-momentum pass — no longer the sole or tied series leader for the first time in several cycles; the top is now a tight cluster (MU 25, NVDA/TSM/UBER 24). The week's biggest story is DELL's Sep 1 blowout beat-and-raise — Q2 FY27 GAAP EPS $6.34 vs $1.70 a year ago (+272.9% YoY) on ~$47B revenue (+58% YoY), FY27 guidance raised again, and a +23% three-session rally to a new all-time high $524.14 — yet the score held flat at 19/33 because the earnings criteria were already passing pre-print; our $450 target, set before the print, is now BELOW both the price and the $564.46 analyst average, flagged here explicitly rather than silently revised. SNOW (Sep 2 AMC) also delivered a genuinely strong quarter (TTM revenue $5.435B, +32% YoY, a third straight accelerating quarter) but improved only +1 to 8/33 since the IF-guards correctly keep P/E and PEG failing with no GAAP profit. HOOD fell -2 to 14/33 DESPITE a +17.12% week (a cluster of bullish analyst actions) as the rally broke three valuation tests — 'good tape, expensive stock.' PLTR enters the top 10 at #10 (18/33, +1) as NFLX drops to #11 (18/33, -1). 12-mo PT = our own price target. Bold rows = top 10, detailed below.

iiReport — STOCK RANKING & PRICE TARGETS
MU RECLAIMS THE SERIES HIGH at 25/33 (+2): a +8.98% week and +15.33% month rally flipped momentum from 1/3 to 3/3 as the DRAM/HBM cycle re-rated again. Quality remains a full sweep (Financial 4/4, Mgmt 3/3, Growth 3/3, Earnings 2/2); the trailing cheapness still rests on peak memory-cycle EPS, the standing caveat (C43 deliberately not credited). Hold the SMA-50 ($938); reclaim the 52-week high ($1,255). Our 12-month $1,145 (+13%). Next earnings CONFIRMED Sep 30, 2026.
NVDA holds #2 at 24/33 (flat) on a quiet week following the Aug 26 blowout: revenue $96.2B (+106% YoY), Data Center $89.0B (+117% YoY), and GAAP EPS ($2.46) EXCEEDING non-GAAP for the first time, a genuine earnings-quality upgrade. Financial 4/4 + Mgmt 3/3 + Growth 3/3 + Earnings 2/2 remain a full sweep. Hold the SMA-50 (~$211); reclaim the 52-week high ($236.54). Our 12-month $315 (+37%).
TSM rises to 24/33 (+2) as a broad chip-sector bounce flipped momentum from 1/3 to 3/3 — week, month, quarter and 52-week returns are all now positive. Financial 4/4 + Mgmt 3/3 + Growth 3/3 + Earnings 2/2 remain fully intact, still one of only two true four-pillar sweeps in the series. Hold the SMA-50 ($420); reclaim the 52-week high ($479). Our 12-month $470 (+10%). Next earnings mid-Oct.
UBER slips to 24/33 (-1) and is no longer the sole or tied series leader for the first time in several cycles — a -3.88% week flipped the week-momentum test to a fail. Still the series' best Valuation profile (12/15) and its standing status as the only reliable margin-of-safety pass (C43); nothing about the underlying business changed. Hold the SMA-50 ($74); reclaim the SMA-200 ($77.59). Our 12-month $100 (+32%).
GOOGL holds 22/33 (flat) on a quiet week. Growth 3/3 and Mgmt 3/3 remain intact (Cloud strength, dividend growth); the Jul-22 one-time-gain P/E artifact continues to partially unwind. Hold the SMA-200 ($331.38); reclaim the SMA-50 ($348.57) toward the 52-week high ($408.61). Our 12-month $430 (+27%).
AMZN rises to 22/33 (+1) as a firmer week nudged momentum back in its favor. The Jul-30 Anthropic-gain caveat on the trailing P/E still stands, and FCF stays deeply negative on the ~$220B FY26 capex guide. Hold the SMA-50 ($253.95); reclaim $287.20 toward new highs. Our 12-month $315 (+22%).
VST slips to 21/33 (-1): a rally in the shares broke two valuation tests (P/E-vs-industry, P/S-vs-industry) even as quarter-momentum flipped to a pass — a mixed week. Financial 1/4 (D/E ~355%) remains the standing structural caveat. No feed-lag issue this cycle. Hold $132.66; reclaim the SMA-50 ($149.64). Our 12-month $190 (+27%).
AMAT holds 20/33 (flat) as the market continues digesting the Aug 13 beat-and-raise (GAAP EPS $3.17, +43% YoY). Quality remains flawless (Mgmt 3/3, Growth 3/3, Earnings 2/2); Valuation stays the binding constraint. Hold the SMA-200 ($407.06); reclaim the SMA-50 ($533.72). Our 12-month $495 (+9%).
DELL holds 19/33 (flat) but the story is much bigger than the score: Q2 FY27 (Sep 1) GAAP EPS $6.34 vs $1.70 a year ago (+272.9% YoY) on ~$47B revenue (+58% YoY), FY27 guidance raised again, and a +23% three-session rally to a new all-time high $524.14. Our $450 target predates this beat-and-raise and now sits BELOW both the price and the $564.46 analyst average — flagged explicitly rather than chased or silently revised. Hold the SMA-50 ($439.45); reclaim the new high ($524.14). Under re-underwrite review; next earnings ~late Nov.
PLTR enters the top 10 at 18/33 (+1) as a -4.49% week pushed the price down enough to flip the forward-PEG and P/B-vs-industry tests to a pass — a case of the screen's margin-of-safety tests improving on price weakness, not on new fundamentals. The GARP paradox persists: trailing P/E still fails on any conventional basis, forward-PEG passes on the post-Aug-3 estimate surge. Hold the SMA-200 ($151.37); reclaim $190 (My PT). Our 12-month $190 (+9%); next earnings ~early Nov.
