What Should You Know About This Gold Screen?
What are the highest quality gold stocks in 2026?
CirclFi identifies the highest quality gold stocks 2026 using 13 institutional-grade valuation models including Bayesian DCF (10,000 Monte Carlo simulations), EPV (Greenwald framework), and EROIC Spread (McKinsey). Rankings update daily from SEC EDGAR filings. The current top-ranked stock is FSM (Fortuna Mining Corp.).
How does CirclFi rank Gold stocks?
Stocks are ranked by QOC Score derived from CirclFi's proprietary models. Each model independently processes SEC EDGAR financial data (700+ XBRL tags), FRED macroeconomic indicators, and GDELT news sentiment to produce confidence-weighted fair value estimates. The ranking methodology combines multiple valuation approaches — intrinsic, relative, scenario, and ensemble — for maximum robustness.
How often is the highest quality gold stocks 2026 list updated?
This list is recalculated daily after US market close. Every stock is re-valued through all 13 models using the latest SEC EDGAR filings, market prices, and FRED macroeconomic data. Rankings can change daily as new financial data becomes available or market prices shift relative to fair value estimates.
What is the Quality of Company (QOC) score?
The QOC score is a 0-10 composite rating derived from 32 fundamental signals across four pillars: profitability (ROE, ROIC, margins), growth (revenue CAGR, earnings acceleration), stability (earnings volatility, debt coverage), and capital efficiency (asset turnover, free cash flow yield). Higher scores indicate stronger fundamentals. Scores above 7 represent top-tier companies.
How does this list compare to other stock screeners?
Unlike simple screeners that filter by P/E or dividend yield, CirclFi runs 13 independent institutional-grade valuation models on every stock — including Bayesian DCF with Monte Carlo simulation, Greenwald EPV, and McKinsey economic profit frameworks. Each company is scored on 32 fundamental signals drawn from 700+ SEC EDGAR XBRL tags, then re-valued after every US market close. Most retail screeners use one or two metrics; this screen ranks 59 Gold companies on the median of all 13.
