About StoQuant: quant stock research built on transparency and proof

We are a team of engineers, quants, and investors building the research platform we wished existed — open methodology, calibrated machine learning, and an out-of-sample track record you can inspect.

Why we started StoQuant

Most stock research tools fall into two camps: pretty dashboards that tell you a stock is undervalued, or black-box AI that tells you to buy without showing the work. Neither camp gives investors the two things that actually build conviction — a transparent model and a published track record. StoQuant was built to close that gap. We combine Benjamin Graham value principles with modern machine learning, conformal prediction, and Bayesian portfolio construction. The result is a daily Q-Score for 14,000+ US-listed stocks, a hidden-gem screener grounded in intrinsic value, and a Black-Litterman optimizer that knows whether the current regime favors value, momentum, or quality. Our north star is simple: every signal should be explainable, every model should be validated out-of-sample, and every investor should be able to see the evidence before making a decision.

What transparency means to us

Transparency is not a marketing word at StoQuant; it is an architectural choice. Our data is stored append-only, so historical signal values are never overwritten. Our model changelog is public, so you can see when a model changed and why. Our proof page shows the actual forward-return distribution of Q-Score quintiles, not a cherry-picked backtest. We also publish /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt so AI crawlers and answer engines can ingest our methodology in plain text. If a model underperforms, you will see it on /proof before we do.

Research and citations

StoQuant is built on peer-reviewed and widely cited work: Benjamin Graham and David Dodd's Security Analysis (1934) for intrinsic-value discipline; Fischer Black and Robert Litterman's Global Portfolio Optimization (1991) for Bayesian allocation; Vladimir Vovk's Venn-Abers predictors (2015) for calibrated probabilities; Joseph Piotroski's F-score (2000) for earnings-quality measurement; and Messod Beneish's M-score (1999) for forensic accounting detection. We link to the original papers and explain how each is adapted in our pipeline.

Get in touch

StoQuant is an independent, self-funded team. We ship daily, read every piece of feedback, and publish our roadmap transparently. You can reach us through the site chat, on X at @stoquant, or via the MCP community channel.

FAQ

Who builds StoQuant?

StoQuant is built by a small team of engineers, quants, and investors with backgrounds in systematic trading, machine learning, and platform engineering. Team bios and roles are listed above.

Is StoQuant independent?

Yes. StoQuant is self-funded and independent. We do not receive payment for stock coverage, ratings, or placement in the hidden-gem screener.

How does StoQuant make money?

We offer a free tier with Q-Score, hidden gems, and public research pages. Pro and Power subscriptions add advanced analytics, unlimited screens, API access, and the MCP server.

Where can I verify the track record?

Visit /proof for walk-forward out-of-sample metrics and /model for the daily model changelog. Both are public.

Can I integrate StoQuant with Claude or other AI agents?

Yes. The stoquant-mcp package on npm exposes roughly 30 read-only tools to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client. See /mcp for install instructions.
