Signals are generated automatically from DART filings (quarterly results, ownership reports, major-event reports and filing titles) and news counts. Prices and trading flows are not included. Not investment advice.
What this list means
Operating profit up more than 50% from the same quarter a year earlier. Growth rates look extreme when the base is tiny, so only companies with a meaningful operating profit a year earlier are compared.
Lists are generated automatically from filings and are not investment advice.
