This month’s First Cut lists the stocks that passed the greatest number of screens tracked by AAII at the AAII Stock Screens area of the Investor Hub. The Stocks Passing Multiple Screens tab of the My Screens page allows users to specify the minimum number of screens a company must pass to be listed.
As of September 18, 2026, 251 stocks passed at least two of the 55 screens tracked by AAII. The list narrows considerably as the threshold rises: 78 stocks passed three or more screens, 25 passed four or more screens and just 15 passed five or more screens. These 15 stocks make up this month’s First Cut and are ranked by the number of screens passed.
While a group of stocks identified by multiple screens should not automatically be considered a diversified portfolio, the list can provide a useful First Cut for identifying potential investment candidates.
The A+ Investor Grades in the table provide an indication of the fundamental characteristics of the passing stocks. Nvidia Corp.
(NVDA), for example, passed seven screens, many of which focus on strong and sustainable growth that can support a higher price-earnings (P/E) ratio. Nvidia has a Value Grade of F, but it earns grades of B for growth, momentum and earnings estimate revisions as well as a grade of A for quality. In contrast, Abercrombie & Fitch Co.
(ANF) passes six screens, four of which focus on more traditional value factors, as revealed by the stock’s Value Grade of A.
Ideally, the screens a stock passes will be diverse enough to identify distinct, yet desirable, investment characteristics. Further information on each screening strategy can be found at the All Screens page of the Investor Hub’s AAII Stock Screens area.
