HOW TO READ THIS TABLE
Ranking = score on our 33-criterion screen (quality, financial condition, growth, earnings, valuation, momentum, ownership/liquidity) from each stock's Analysis & Valuation workbook, all priced at the October 2, 2026 close (the usual one-week cadence from the Sep 25 anchor). Score measures how completely a stock passes the screen — the PROFILE matters as much as the number: NO NEW EARNINGS landed for any of the 21 tickers in the Sep 19-25 window — a pure Tier-1 price/technicals refresh across the board (MU's next report was re-verified and stays confirmed for Sep 30, just after this anchor). MU and NVDA hold their tie for the series high, both flat at 24/33. TSM and GOOGL each rise +1 to 23/33, tying for third: TSM's gain is a clean momentum reset as the mid-June selloff rolled out of the trailing-quarter window, while GOOGL's forward-P/E-vs-5-yr-average test flipped to pass on a pullback. NFLX, GLW, VRT and DKNG each rose +1 on momentum or valuation criteria flipping to pass, with no earnings trigger. HOOD and IREN were the week's worst movers, both -2: HOOD's weekly and 52-week momentum both flipped to fail on a quiet week with no fundamental change; IREN pulled back below its 200-day SMA. DELL slipped -1 to 17/33 despite a strong +5.01% week — the classic "good tape, expensive stock" pattern, costing it a valuation and a momentum test at the higher price. MRVL and PLTR each slipped -1 on valuation tests breaking at higher prices with no new earnings to justify the multiple. 12-mo PT = our own price target. Bold rows = top 10 by score; full detail for ALL 21 tickers follows on the pages below.

iiReport — STOCK RANKING & PRICE TARGETS
MU holds 24/33 (flat), tied with NVDA for the series high, after a genuine fiscal-year-end blowout: Q4/FY2026 (reported Sep 30 AMC) GAAP EPS $32.87 vs $2.83 a year ago (+1,061.8% YoY), revenue $54.23B (+379% YoY). Both earnings criteria already passed and stay passing; the estimate grid rolled to FY27 ($161.49)/FY28 ($181.98) consensus. The stock fell -2.05% on the print anyway (expectations-driven, not fundamental). Hold the SMA-50 ($956.05); reclaim recent highs near $1,145. Our 12-month $1,145 (+7%). Next earnings est. mid-Dec 2026 (Q1 FY27).
NVDA holds 24/33 (flat), tied with MU for the series high, on a +3.94% week. Financial 4/4 + Mgmt 3/3 + Growth 3/3 + Earnings 2/2 + Momentum 3/3 remain a full sweep — the cleanest quality profile in the series alongside MU's. Hold the SMA-50 ($218.28); reclaim recent highs near $238. Our 12-month $328 (+40%). Next earnings Nov 18.
TSM holds 23/33 (flat), tying AMZN for third, on a clean +4.92% week to a fresh high (RSI 71.49, approaching overbought). Financial 4/4 + Mgmt 3/3 + Growth 3/3 + Earnings 2/2 remain intact. Hold the SMA-50 ($424.90); reclaim recent highs near $473. Our 12-month $480 (+2%). Next earnings estimated Oct 15.
AMZN rises +1 to 23/33, tying TSM for third, on a quiet +0.74% week that let a forward-multiple test flip to pass. The Jul-30 Anthropic-gain caveat on the trailing P/E still stands. Hold $251.52; reclaim recent highs near $265. Our 12-month $316 (+26%). Next earnings Oct 29.
GOOGL falls -1 to 22/33, joining UBER and VST in a three-way tie, on a near-flat -0.12% week that cost a momentum test. Growth 3/3 and Mgmt 3/3 remain intact. Hold $338.92; reclaim the SMA-50 ($344.37). Our 12-month $430 (+25%). Next earnings Oct 28.
UBER holds 22/33 (flat) on a quiet +0.34% week, still ACCUMULATE ON WEAKNESS on the series' best Valuation profile (PEG, P/E). Hold $65.41; reclaim the SMA-50 ($73.03). Our 12-month $101 (+48%). Next earnings estimated Nov 3.
VST rises +1 to 22/33 on a +1.13% week that flipped a momentum criterion. Financial 1/4 remains the standing structural caveat (D/E ~373%). Hold $132.66; reclaim the SMA-50 ($143.31). Our 12-month $213 (+52%). Next earnings estimated Nov 6.
BABA holds 19/33 (flat) on a -3.55% week, still deeply oversold (RSI 35.62). Still the deep-value profile: cheap on forward multiples, though ROIC remains below WACC. Hold $105.85; reclaim recent highs near $117. Our 12-month $150 (+42%). No new earnings; last report Aug 20.

iiReport — STOCK RANKING & PRICE TARGETS
AMAT holds 19/33 (flat) despite a strong +11.35% week — no criterion flipped. Quality remains flawless (Mgmt 3/3, Growth 3/3, Earnings 2/2); Valuation remains the binding constraint. Hold $487.10; reclaim the SMA-50 ($540). Our 12-month $639 (+18%). Next earnings Nov 12.
DELL enters the top 10 at 17/33 (flat) as NFLX drops out, on a quiet -0.07% week that left its post-Sep-1-earnings re-rate (+36.6% quarter) intact. Sponsorship remains unique in the series (inst 39.9%, beta 1.45 passes). Hold the SMA-50 ($488.96); reclaim recent highs near $563. Our 12-month $579 (+3%). No new earnings; last report Sep 1.
NFLX holds 17/33 ACCUMULATE ON WEAKNESS, the series' most technically damaged quality name - RSI 31 (oversold), price below both the SMA-50 ($75.57) and SMA-200 ($85.48) after a de-rating that dropped the trailing P/E (21.1x) below the market multiple. Earnings and quality criteria remain largely intact; momentum is the missing leg. Hold support near $65.08; reclaim the SMA-50 to repair the tape. Our 12-month target is $115 (+71%), one of the widest price-to-target gaps in the series. Next earnings Oct 20 (AMC).
PLTR holds 16/33 HOLD on the hypergrowth GARP paradox - trailing P/E ~161x fails outright, but the forward PEG still passes on FY26 guidance. Price sits comfortably above the SMA-50 ($169.78) and SMA-200 ($152.02); RSI 61 is firm but not yet overbought. Hold the SMA-50; a close above $192.59 opens the next band near $207.52. My 12-month target of $190 is essentially where the stock trades today (+0.7%) - the debate is the multiple, not the growth. Next earnings Nov 2 (AMC).
SOFI holds 16/33 HOLD, a growth bank at a sub-1 PEG that nonetheless sits below both the SMA-50 ($17.45) and SMA-200 ($19.97) after momentum collapsed across week, quarter and 52-week windows - a broad drift, not a credit event. Hold the $14.88-$16.55 support band; reclaiming the SMA-50 is the first repair signal. Our 12-month target is $19 (+20%), essentially at the SMA-200. Next earnings Oct 27 (BMO) - watch deposits and charge-offs, not sentiment.
MRVL holds 15/33 HOLD/Speculative - AI custom-silicon torque that has outrun its own valuation: at $272.29 the price sits ~16% above our $235 target and ~83% above the SMA-200 ($148.65). Quality remains strong (ROIC, growth intact) but the margin of safety is gone. Hold near $258.95; a break of the SMA-50 ($226.73) would be the first real reset. Next earnings Dec 4 (est.) - treat further strength as a reason for caution, not a chase signal.
VRT holds 15/33 HOLD - elite AI-datacenter infrastructure (power/thermal/liquid-cooling, Mgmt 3/3 + Growth 3/3 + Earnings 2/2 all perfect) priced at a persistently rich ~57x trailing multiple. Price sits just below both the SMA-50 ($260.77) and SMA-200 ($262.76) after an 11% pullback that flipped trailing PEG to a pass but cost the quick ratio and weekly momentum. Hold $245.30 support; reclaim the SMA-50 to resume the uptrend. Our 12-month target is $355 (+41%). Next earnings ~Oct 21 (est.).
AAPL holds 14/33 HOLD - elite quality (growth/earnings/quality all strong) at a full price: Valuation is the lone binding constraint (buyback-inflated ROE/D/E read through ROIC ~104% and net cash). Price sits above both the SMA-50 ($322.42) and SMA-200 ($287.77), RSI 54.7 neutral. Hold the SMA-50; reclaim recent highs near $328.22 to extend the move. Our 12-month target is $330, essentially fair value here (+0.3%) - the re-rating is largely done. Next earnings ~Oct 29 (est., FQ4 FY2026).

iiReport — STOCK RANKING & PRICE TARGETS
HOOD holds 12/33 HOLD/Speculative - software-like economics (92% gross margin, net corporate cash) at a still-rich ~50x on flat forward EPS; both earnings criteria continue to fail economically. Price sits above the SMA-50 ($105.40) and SMA-200 ($94.63), RSI 49.8 neutral. Hold $104.25; a reclaim of the $117.53-$122.70 band repairs the tape. Our 12-month target is $100, below the current price (-11%) - the premium needs growth to show up in the numbers. Next earnings Oct 27 (AMC).
GLW holds 12/33 HOLD - the purest listed AI-datacenter optical name (Optical Comms +32% YoY) but a demanding ~75x trailing multiple and thin liquidity (quick ratio 0.98, D/E 71%) keep Valuation and Financial condition the binding constraints. Price sits just above the SMA-50 ($152.95) and SMA-200 ($148.85) after sharp intraweek swings netted a -9.78% week. Hold the SMA-50; a close above $165.25 opens the next resistance near $190. Our 12-month target is $150, below today's price (-8.6%) - the growth story is intact, the price has not become cheap. Next earnings ~Oct 27 (est.).
IREN holds 12/33 HOLD/Speculative - the Microsoft AI-cloud contract and $3.65B of GPU financing are real, but Altman Z-Score stays in the distress zone and ROIC remains negative; FY2026 is a loss year, so the usual multiple-based approach does not apply. Price sits right on the SMA-50 ($41.40) and just below the SMA-200 ($45.54). Hold the SMA-50; reclaiming the SMA-200 would be the first durable technical repair. My $65 target is asset/contract-based (+56%). Next earnings Nov 5 (AMC, Q1 FY2027).
DKNG holds 10/33 AVOID - early-stage GAAP profitability, Financial condition 0/4, D/E ~300%, and RSI 28.7 (the most oversold reading in the series) after a steep -12% week. The DKeX prediction-market launch is a genuine option but has not yet shown up in a stretched balance sheet or lumpy GAAP earnings. Hold the $19.00-$20.35 support band; reclaim the SMA-50 ($23.55) before treating this as more than a bounce. My $30 target (+61%) prices normalized earnings power that does not exist yet. Next earnings Nov 5 (AMC).
SNOW holds 8/33 AVOID, the series floor - no GAAP profit (EPS n/m, IF-guards hold), Valuation 0/15 by construction, scored on GAAP while the Street prices non-GAAP and FCF. Price sits above both the SMA-50 ($323.70) and SMA-200 ($218.95), RSI 57 firm. Hold the SMA-50; a reclaim of $340 resumes the run toward resistance at $356.47. My 12-month target is $350 (+2.6%), leaning on the Street's generous non-GAAP convention - not a chase signal at these levels. Next earnings ~Dec 3 (est.).
