Piotroski F-Score Stocks in India

Screen as of 19 September 2026 · 30 stocks currently qualify

This page lists the Indian stocks that currently qualify under the Piotroski F-Score screen — a systematic, rules-based stock screen based on the work of Joseph Piotroski (Academic paper, 2000). These are the stocks the screen identifies; the page is informational only and is not a recommendation.

What is the Piotroski F-Score screen?

Score every stock on 9 binary signals across profitability, leverage, and efficiency. Score 8-9 = financially strong. Especially powerful in India as a fraud and distress filter before applying any other strategy.

How this screen works

Each stock earns one point for each of nine pass/fail tests of financial health, grouped into profitability (positive return on assets, positive operating cash flow, improving return on assets, and cash earnings exceeding reported profit), leverage and liquidity (falling debt ratio, improving current ratio, no new share issuance), and operating efficiency (expanding gross margin, improving asset turnover). To qualify, a stock must clear the minimum market-cap floor and score at least 5 of 9. The 0–100 score is a relative ranking of the F-Scores among qualifying stocks, not an absolute rating.
