SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Applies Joel Greenblatt's Magic Formula (ROC rank + earnings yield rank, combined, top decile) to Parallax data to surface high-quality investment opportunities in a scalable way.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Universe mode returns a top-decile basket of US equities ranked by combined ROC and earnings yield.
  • Ticker-check mode reports whether a single stock is in the top decile of its peer universe by Greenblatt-based ranking.
  • Safety and governance includes clear disclaimers, JIT-loading of Parallax conventions and profile schemas, and cross-check validations to guard against mismatches.
  • Workflow orchestration leverages Parallax MCP tools to compute ROC, earnings yield, ranking, and to surface peer snapshots for pedagogy.

Quick Start

Run /parallax-AI-greenblatt to evaluate the universe or /parallax-AI-greenblatt AAPL to check a ticker.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find stocks using Greenblatt's Magic Formula ranking?

Greenblatt's Magic Formula ranking identifies top-decile stocks by computing and combining return on capital (ROC) and earnings yield ranks. This process screens the US equity universe to surface high-quality investment opportunities in a scalable basket.

Can I check if a single stock meets Greenblatt earnings yield and ROC criteria?

You can check a single stock against Greenblatt criteria using ticker-check mode. This mode assesses whether a specific ticker ranks in the top decile of its sector-scoped peer universe by evaluating combined ROC and earnings yield performance.

How does ROC ranking work for screening the US equity universe?

ROC ranking for universe screening works by applying sector-scoped queries to assemble equity candidates, computing return on capital and earnings yield, capping results to the top 30, and selecting the top decile for a standardized ranked output.

Does the Magic Formula stock ranking require specific data dependencies?

Magic Formula stock ranking relies on Parallax data to execute universe queries and compute ROC and earnings yield. It JIT-loads Parallax conventions and profile schemas to ensure cross-check validations guard against data mismatches.

What are the limitations of using Greenblatt ranking for stock screening?

Greenblatt ranking limitations include relying strictly on ROC and earnings yield metrics for top-decile selection, requiring Parallax data availability, and necessitating user awareness of safety disclaimers as it does not constitute definitive investment advice.
