Diamonds in the Rough

Cross-referencing fundamental value against technical exhaustion to isolate beaten-down XLF constituents that screen cheap and oversold. The bottom-right quadrant — high earnings yield, low RSI — is the prime hunting ground, especially where money flow (MFI) shows quiet accumulation despite the falling price.

25 in diamond zone75 scored

Educational screen, not investment advice. “Diamond” classification is a mechanical valuation-vs-RSI split around the cohort median earnings yield and an RSI of 50.

Alpha Quadrant — Valuation × Technical Exhaustion

X = earnings yield (cheaper right) · Y = RSI 14 (more oversold lower) · bubble = market cap · color = money flow.

◆ Diamond in the RoughCheap + oversold. Deep value in a technically exhausted state — the prime target.

Fairly Valued WinnerCheap + extended. Strong action backed by earnings, but late for new entries.

Value TrapExpensive + beaten down. Falling yet still richly valued — structurally suspect.

Momentum DarlingExpensive + extended. Crowded leaders with mean-reversion risk.
