FCF-rich stocks below intrinsic value. Regime-gated.
Value Meal activates when credit stress, rate conditions, and market sentiment align in a specific regime pattern. When dormant, the scanner is still running — it's simply not finding stocks that meet the simultaneous FCF yield, price trend, and macro gate requirements.
Last activation: 2020. During that period, signals fired with an average return of +8.5% per signal at 90 days. The dormant state is the system working correctly — not a bug.
Regime gate status (updated daily):
Value Meal targets stocks with exceptional free cash flow yield — the ratio of operating cash flow to enterprise value. A stock with FCF yield above 6% is generating more cash than it costs to own, and when that stock is also above its 200-day moving average and the macro environment shows stress, the setup historically reverts to fair value over 90 days.
Value Meal is dormant more often than it's active. That's intentional. The regime gate prevents the sleeve from firing in calm, momentum-driven markets where fundamental value is systematically ignored. The last activation was 2020 — the strategy is patient by design.
