Figures come from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP). If FMP has no figure for a ticker, a price or fundamental may come from a Yahoo Finance fallback, or a price from an Alpaca fallback. SEC EDGAR is used only for filing links and company identity details (legal name, address), never for figures.

MoonshotScore V2 rates eligible US-listed companies from 0 to 100 against their sector peers on five pillars: Business Quality (weight 26), Financial Safety (weight 20), Valuation (weight 18), Growth Durability (weight 16) and Momentum (weight 12). It reads no news-sentiment or analyst data, and it is not a probability of future returns.

## About the Penny Stocks list

This list shows 24 stocks listed in the US, drawn from 43 US common-stock listings the FMP screen returned as of 2026-10-26. Each row links to the stock's own page.

Methodology

## How the list is built

Stocks come from the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) stock screener: listed in the US, actively trading, not an ETF or fund, market cap above $100M, share price between $1 and $5, daily volume above 500,000 shares. FMP returns up to 50 matches; the first 30 US common-stock listings among them are scored. The list is ordered by a composite of 40 × positive FCF yield plus the positive day change. It keeps at most 24 stocks. FMP's screener returned no day change for these stocks, so the day-change term added nothing when this list was built. Screen figures (order, market cap, P/E) as of 2026-10-26 (FMP), the day the list was built; MoonshotScore as of 2026-10-26. The table's price, day change and market-cap columns show the latest FMP quote when one is available, dated in the table caption. The MoonshotScore column shows each stock's stored MoonshotScore with its date; it is not the sort key.

## Largest one-day gains when the list was built

The screen stays focused on the strongest one-day advances while preserving enough context to judge whether momentum is supported by scale and fundamentals.
