How QMA computes its scores — without publishing exact proprietary weights, but enough to understand what a score means and what it does not.
The 5 super-pillars
- Value — fair value + earnings quality.
- Momentum — technical strength, relative strength, trend.
- Smart Money — insider activity, institutional/13F, off-exchange, options (public/reported data).
- Sentiment — news sentiment + earnings-call tone.
- Catalyst — upcoming events and catalysts.
Scale & grades
Each pillar and sub-score is on a 0–100 scale; overall grades run A++ to F. Scores are relative to the universe, not absolute truth.
Missing data
When a pillar has no data, it returns "—" (not a fake neutral 50) and weights are redistributed only across available components. We do not fabricate.
Updates & regime
Scores refresh daily (liquid stocks multiple times per session). Weights adapt to the market regime (e.g. bear/volatile). The model version is shown with results.
Limitations
- A score is an analytical view, not a prediction and not a recommendation.
- Data may be delayed/erroneous; backtests are historical simulations.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results.
