Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a tech stock high quality versus speculative?

Quality tech stocks demonstrate proven business models: positive free cash flow, sustainable unit economics, growing revenue with maintained or expanding margins, and reasonable valuations relative to growth. Speculative tech stocks often show impressive revenue growth but burn cash, have unclear paths to profitability, depend on continued funding, or trade at extreme valuations. This screen requires minimum Stock Scores to filter for quality, evaluating profitability, financial health, and valuation alongside growth. The result excludes money-losing moonshots while surfacing profitable technology and semiconductor companies with solid fundamentals.

How should I evaluate semiconductor stocks differently from software stocks?

Semiconductors and software have fundamentally different economics. Semiconductors are capital-intensive with cyclical demand: chip fabrication plants cost billions and capacity/demand mismatches drive boom-bust cycles. Evaluate semis on: cycle positioning, capacity utilization, inventory levels, and book-to-bill ratios. Software (especially SaaS) has recurring revenue, high gross margins (70-85%), and minimal capital needs. Evaluate on: net revenue retention, customer acquisition cost, and rule of 40 (growth rate + profit margin). This screen ranks both by Stock Score, but understanding these differences helps interpret results.

What metrics matter most for evaluating AI stocks?

The AI boom has created many 'AI stocks' with vastly different fundamentals. For true AI companies, key metrics include: revenue growth specifically from AI products (not legacy business), gross margins on AI services (cloud inference is expensive), customer concentration (one big customer vs. diversified base), and R&D efficiency. For AI beneficiaries like chipmakers (NVIDIA, AMD), watch data center revenue trends, gaming/crypto exposure, and competitive positioning. Many companies have slapped 'AI' on existing products. Stock Scores cut through hype by evaluating actual fundamentals: profitability, growth sustainability, and financial health.

How often is this data updated?

Stock Unlock updates all stock data daily, including prices, dividend yields, financial ratios, and Stock Scores. Our screener covers 100,000+ stocks across 70+ global exchanges, ensuring you see current fundamentals rather than stale data from weeks ago.

What are Stock Scores and how are they calculated?

Stock Scores are our proprietary 1-5 ratings across seven dimensions: Valuation, Growth, Profitability, Financial Health, Dividends, Management, and Analyst sentiment. Unlike one-size-fits-all systems that treat banks, tech stocks, and REITs the same way, our algorithms are calibrated per industry using metrics specific to each business type. Scores update in real-time as prices change and when new financial data arrives. Green (4-5) indicates strength, yellow (3) is neutral, red (1-2) signals caution. They're not trading signals; they help you quickly assess fundamental health across 100,000+ stocks. Learn more about Stock Scores →

What makes Stock Unlock different from other screeners?

Most screeners like Yahoo Finance or Finviz cover only US stocks with basic filters. Stock Unlock is a complete research platform: 85+ screening criteria across 100,000+ stocks on 70+ global exchanges, proprietary Stock Scores calibrated per industry, portfolio tracking with brokerage sync, dividend analysis with 35 years of history, and tools for valuation, comparison, and deep fundamental research. Free accounts get several searches per week, with unlimited access for power users. For international investors or anyone wanting deeper analysis than basic screeners provide, Stock Unlock surfaces opportunities that US-only tools miss entirely.
