It reads no news-sentiment or analyst data, and it is not a probability of future returns. 20,000+ US companies analyzed ## About the Emerging Growth Stocks list This list shows 24 stocks listed in the US, drawn from 48 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 between $500M and $20B, share price above $3, daily volume above 200,000 shares. FMP returns up to 50 matches; the first 30 US common-stock listings among them are scored. The list is ordered by a growth-and-value composite: latest annual revenue growth in percent (positive, capped at 50) plus 30 × positive FCF yield plus 15 for a market cap under $5B (5 otherwise) plus 20 × (2 − PEG) when PEG is between 0 and 2; PEG is FMP's trailing PEG ratio, or trailing P/E divided by the latest annual EPS growth rate when FMP has none. It keeps at most 24 stocks. 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. - [Full methodology →](https://www.stockexpertai.com/methodology) ## Names rising to the top of the screen The strongest names stay in view, with the valuation context behind the ranking. *Names rising to the top of the screen — ranked by a growth-and-value composite (formula under "How the list is built"); MoonshotScore is not the sort key.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. > “MoonshotScore rates a US-listed stock 0 to 100 using five sector-relative pillars. Higher means stronger numbers across business quality, safety, valuation, growth and momentum. Eligible common stocks and ADRs only; funds, ETFs, warrants, units, SPACs, preferreds, and notes carry none. It is built for education and deeper due diligence, not financial advice.” — Stock Expert AI published methodology ([how MoonshotScore works](https://www.stockexpertai.com/methodology)) ## Questions worth resolving before acting on the screen ### How many stocks are on the Emerging Growth Stocks list? 24 US-listed stocks as of 2026-10-26, out of 48 US common-stock listings the FMP screen returned. ### Which stock ranks first on the Emerging Growth Stocks list?
