What Is MoonshotScore?
Summary
MoonshotScore V2 is the only current scoring model. MoonshotScore V2 covers eligible common stocks and ADRs on NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX. OTC listings are outside the scheduled universe; funds, ETFs, warrants, units, SPACs, preferreds, and notes carry no MoonshotScore. Companies are compared using business quality, financial safety, valuation, growth durability, and momentum. Sector-relative inputs are combined, adjusted for financial fragility and ranked across the scored universe; limited data coverage and company size draw scores toward the midpoint. The headline is not an average of the five displayed pillar scores or a probability of future returns. Bands are Exceptional (80-100), Strong (65-79), Fair (45-64), Weak (below 45). The V2 five-pillar model is recalculated from the most recent completed US trading session, so scores move on US trading days. The score's computation date shows its last successful calculation; a newer price does not mean the score has refreshed. A failed update leaves the previous dated score in place. Legacy V1 nine-signal calculations are retained as historical records only. They are not used as a fallback when a current V2 score is unavailable.

How It Works
Financial statements, price data, and analyst ratings are gathered from multiple sources.
MoonshotScore V2 covers eligible common stocks and ADRs on NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX. OTC listings are outside the scheduled universe; funds, ETFs, warrants, units, SPACs, preferreds, and notes carry no MoonshotScore. Eligible companies with usable inputs are assessed across business quality, financial safety, valuation, growth durability, and momentum. Without a usable V2 result, no current MoonshotScore is shown.
Sector-relative inputs are combined, adjusted for financial fragility and ranked across the scored universe. Data coverage and company size draw the result toward 50. The headline is not an average of the displayed pillar scores. Interpretation bands: Exceptional (80-100), Strong (65-79), Fair (45-64), Weak (below 45). Pages also display a letter grade from A+ down to F.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a high MoonshotScore mean?
A high MoonshotScore means the model ranks the security strongly versus its peers — interpretation bands run Exceptional (80-100), Strong (65-79), Fair (45-64), Weak (below 45). It is an analytical rating and does not constitute a buy recommendation.
How often is MoonshotScore updated?
The V2 five-pillar model is recalculated from the most recent completed US trading session, so scores move on US trading days. The score's computation date shows its last successful calculation; a newer price does not mean the score has refreshed. A failed update leaves the previous dated score in place.
Can I screen stocks by MoonshotScore?
Yes. Stock Expert AI's stock screener allows you to filter stocks by MoonshotScore range, sector, market cap, and other criteria.
Is MoonshotScore a buy recommendation?
No. MoonshotScore is an AI-generated rating for educational and research purposes. It should not be interpreted as financial advice or a buy/sell signal.
What data feeds into MoonshotScore?
V2 uses financial statements, valuation data and price history to assess business quality, financial safety, valuation, growth durability, and momentum. Input availability affects the result. Legacy V1 nine-signal calculations are retained as historical records only. They are not used as a fallback when a current V2 score is unavailable.
How accurate is MoonshotScore?
MoonshotScore V2 summarizes available company and market data. It is not a probability of future returns, and a more detailed model does not establish better investment performance. Use the score alongside its date, inputs and your own research.
How does MoonshotScore compare to analyst ratings?
Traditional analyst ratings (buy, hold, sell) reflect individual analyst opinions. MoonshotScore is a quantitative score that aggregates multiple data dimensions simultaneously. Both can be useful for different aspects of investment research.
Does MoonshotScore work for all stock types?
MoonshotScore V2 covers eligible common stocks and ADRs on NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX. OTC listings are outside the scheduled universe; funds, ETFs, warrants, units, SPACs, preferreds, and notes carry no MoonshotScore. Eligibility does not guarantee a result: usable inputs are required. Archived V1 values are not substituted for unavailable V2 scores.
Evidence & Sources
- 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.
