How it works
The watch
The full U.S. universe, scored against the nine, every trading day.
The alignment
Eight of nine is interesting. Seven is noise. Only nine is a Navaratnas.
The release
When the alignment happens, the name lands in your inbox the same morning.
Nine independent signals.
One verdict.
Each one stands on its own. None is enough. Most days, none align. Some days, a few do.
When all nine align, that is a Navaratnas.
The numbers, with the methodology behind them.
A walk-forward backtest with point-in-time fundamentals. Every score recomputed using only data the market had on that day. No survivorship bias, no peeking.
Top alignment tier
What this run did and didn't prove
- Walk-forward, point-in-time fundamentals from 20 years of SEC-quality data.
- Universe of 7 mega-cap names, narrower than the production screener will run.
- Two-year window covered a single regime, a strong bull market.
- Two of the nine signals required additional data infrastructure that was added after this iteration; the run reflects a 7-signal subset.
- Methodology has not yet been stress-tested through a major drawdown era.
- Production calibration re-runs every six months on accumulated live data; the composition of the nine may evolve.
A weekly digest that knows what to do next.
The email arrives Monday morning. New releases at the top. Active positions you already hold flagged HOLD or EXIT against the playbook. The same template, every week.
Buy. Hold. Exit.
The methodology is published in every release so subscribers can apply it identically. No personalized advice. No exceptions. The discipline is the product.
Some weeks there is nothing. That is the point. Conviction is a function of restraint.
Pay for the system, not the picks.
The lowest paid tier sees every release at the same time as the highest tier. What you pay for at the higher tiers is access to the apparatus: the watchlist, the screener, the lens.

Questions.
What is a Navaratnas?
A stock that has all nine of our analytical signals aligned on the same trading day. Most days, none align. When all nine do, the name is released.
What are the nine signals?
Nine slots, continuously calibrated. The screen scores stocks against the strongest predictive signals at any moment, recalibrated each quarter on live data. The composition is proprietary and intentionally dynamic. What's in the nine today may differ from what was in it last quarter. The discipline of nine-of-nine alignment is the constant; the science evolves.
How often is a stock released?
Rarely. Eight of nine is interesting. Seven is noise. Only nine is a Navaratnas. Some weeks have one. Many weeks have none. That restraint is the discipline.
How long do you hold one?
Sixty days minimum, one hundred and twenty days target. Exit triggers are the score falling below seven of nine, a fifteen percent stop loss from entry, or one hundred and twenty days elapsed.
What is the historical performance?
In a 2024-2026 walk-forward backtest, the top alignment tier produced a 71-78% win rate at the 60- and 120-day windows, with three to five percentage points of alpha over the universe mean. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Is this investment advice?
No. Navaratnas operates as a publisher under the Investment Advisers Act publisher exemption (Lowe v. SEC, 1985). It does not provide personalized advice or manage subscriber accounts. Consult a licensed advisor before acting on any position.
Do you trade ahead of releases?
No. The team does not initiate or close positions in published names within forty-eight (48) hours before or after a release, and any held positions are disclosed in the email itself. The conflict policy is part of every issue.
What if a stock drops after release?
The −15% hard stop is part of the published playbook and is flagged in the next weekly digest. The system has a 71-78% historical win rate, which means roughly one in four picks will lose money even when followed correctly. Position sizing assumes that.
The Sector Engine, nine signals on market liquidity mobility.
Naval2 is our sibling system. It runs the same 9-of-9 alignment discipline as the page you're reading, but on a different unit of analysis. Where Navaratnas asks "is this single stock worth owning," the Sector Engine asks "where is liquidity moving across the eleven sectors, and why."
Read about the Sector Engine →- Rotation Rank: where flow concentrates
- Mobility Pair: the FROM to TO event
- Velocity: how fast the flow shifts
- Wave: sector reversal (trade-grade)
- Breadth Depth: participation
- Persistence: has it held?
- Volume Conviction: real money behind it
- Cross-Asset: bonds/gold/dollar agree?
- Macro Fit: backdrop supports it?
We built Navaratnas because long-only quality investing still works, but only with the discipline to wait for full alignment of the signals that matter.
The screener runs every trading day across the U.S. equity universe. The infrastructure came first: a multi-source data pipeline with point-in-time correctness, then a walk-forward backtest against twenty years of quarterly history. We did the work that proves the methodology before we asked anyone to subscribe.
The composition of the nine is dynamic. Each quarter we recalibrate against the live forward-tracking ledger; the strongest predictors stay, weaker ones rotate out. You're subscribing to the discipline of nine-of-nine alignment applied to whichever nine signals are most predictive right now — not to a static formula. We will tell you when the methodology stops working as well as it did, and we will publish the rebalanced nine after every recalibration.
The conflict policy is written into every email: the team does not trade ahead of releases, and any held positions are disclosed in the issue.

Disclosures.
Read this carefully. Subscribing to or acting on Navaratnas content means you have read and agree to these terms.
Educational only
The content published on this website and in subscriber emails is for informational and educational purposes. Nothing constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, nor an offer or solicitation to do so.
Publisher status
Navaratnas operates as a financial publisher under the publisher exemption of Section 202(a)(11)(D) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Lowe v. SEC (1985). It publishes general analytical content available equally to all subscribers. It is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner and does not provide personalized advice or manage subscriber accounts.
No fiduciary relationship
No subscription, communication, or transaction creates an adviser-client, fiduciary, or principal-agent relationship between Navaratnas and any subscriber.
Performance & backtest
Any performance figures cited, including backtest results, hypothetical returns, win rates, and alpha measurements, are based on historical data and do not represent actual trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Backtest figures do not reflect transaction costs, taxes, slippage, or behavioral execution variance, and are subject to limitations including small universe size, single-regime data, look-ahead bias risk, and methodology revision. Live results may differ materially.
Risk of loss
Investing in securities involves substantial risk, including loss of principal. The methodology has been tested in a single bull-market regime (May 2024 to May 2026) and has not been validated through major drawdowns. Approximately one in four picks at the historical top alignment tier lost money. Do not invest funds you cannot afford to lose.

Any statements about future market behavior, expected performance, or methodology efficacy are forward-looking and speculative. Actual results may differ from expectations.
