How We Picked This List
This ranking is data-driven, not opinion-driven. Each stock was scored using:
- Primary ranking: composite factor score — a weighted blend of quality, value, momentum, and low volatility
- Universe: Curated list of 14 semiconductor stocks — vetted for relevance and liquidity
- Quant score: Our factor composite (0–100) is shown alongside the primary ranking — use it as a sanity check on quality
All metrics pull from live market data and refresh weekly. We deliberately keep editorial influence to a minimum here — the list is what the numbers say.
