CANSLIM

William O'Neil's seven tests, applied to companies' own NSE filings and to prices. Computed 25 Aug 2026, 15:38 IST.

M — Market direction

Market in correction

The index is below both its fifty and two-hundred day averages.

O'Neil's instruction in a correction is to sit it out. The list below is companies passing on their own characteristics — a watchlist for when the market turns, not a buy list for today.

NIFTY 50: 24,175.65
50-day average: 24,208.19
200-day average: 24,652.01
Distribution days: 0 in five weeks

What can be judged today

3 of the six letters describing a company cannot be evaluated for most of the 2,275 companies scored. Those letters are not failing — they have no data behind them, and a company needs at least four of its six measured before it can qualify.

C — judged: 7/2,275
A — judged: 0/2,275
N — judged: 2,133/2,275
S — judged: 2,129/2,275
L — judged: 2,006/2,275
I — judged: 0/2,275

C needs five filed quarters. The filing archive is still being backfilled.
A needs eight filed quarters, sixteen for the full three-year comparison. Nothing but the backfill fixes this.
I needs the ownership sweep. Run php artisan market:ownership --sync.

Demand only the letters you want

The seven are not equally answerable from this archive. A company with two years of filed quarters cannot be judged on "A" at all, and demanding all seven would drop it from a screen it might well belong on. Tick the letters that matter for the question you are actually asking.

C Current quarterly earnings up 25% or more A Annual earnings growing, with returns to match N At or near a new 52 week high S Volume confirming the move L A market leader by relative strength I Institutions own it M The market itself is in an uptrend

No company qualifies yet, and it is not because the market has none — it is that C, A and I have no data behind them for most companies. The panel above says what to run. In the meantime you can still screen on the letters that are measured — try N and S and L.

A ? is not a near miss — it means the data to judge that letter is not here. Earnings letters come from the companies' own XBRL filings with NSE, and the archive is still being backfilled, so a company with fewer than eight filed quarters cannot be scored on annual growth at all. Thresholds are O'Neil's own, drawn from US markets between the 1950s and 1990s; they are conventions, not laws, and this is a screen rather than a recommendation.
