Frequently Asked Questions
How often is this page updated?
This page is regenerated with every Scout scan — up to six times per trading day (Mon–Fri). The data reflects the most recent scan as shown in the timestamp above.
Is this financial advice?
No. SmallCapData provides general information only and does not constitute personal financial advice. The conviction score is a quantitative screening metric, not a buy or sell recommendation. Always do your own research and consider seeking independent financial advice.
How is the conviction score calculated?
Each stock is scored from 0 to 100 across six dimensions: technical analysis, fundamental quality, upcoming catalysts, market sentiment, momentum quality, and risk assessment. The dimensions are weighted and blended into a single conviction score. A higher score means more screening criteria were met.
