Yeah, COWZ is essentially doing this at the fund level. The difference here is seeing individual company grades and balance sheet breakdowns behind each one rather than just holding the big basket.
I noticed that the “Net Cash” figures look fishy, it seems like you’re not taking into account Marketable Securities (MS) in the calculation. These are essentially cash. See GOOG and others. (GOOG ended 2025 with almost $100B in MS, for a total of ~$132B Cash & MS)
If “Net Cash” refers to Net Cash Flow, they gained a Net $7B YoY.
Just want to understand how you are calculating these.
Cool design BTW.

Curious what the purpose of this is. Is it just to satisfy personal curiosity? Or is there an implicit claim about stocks that earn an A being a better trade? Do stocks with more free cash flow perform better historically? Do people on this site trade individual stocks?
Mostly to see through company earning manipulation.Not making a direct claim that the A grades will outperform, that'll need backtesting that I haven't done yet but will attempt to do. Its more of a fundamental health screener than a trading signal.
AMZN getting a straight F: https://aureus-swart.vercel.app/stock/AMZN
AWS alone would probably be an A but you can't separate them in the cash flow statement. Take away the retail aspect and it would be a different story.
Nice design! What's the data source?
Thanks! The data is being pulled directly from Yahoo Finance. GitHub Actions runs the grading algorithm automatically weekly during earnings season, and monthly otherwise.
