Fundamentals vs Trend Check (Mega Caps)

I screened for large/liquid US names with Buy/Strong Buy analyst consensus and reasonable valuation (P/E ≤ \~35), then sanity-checked fundamentals (growth + margins + balance sheet) and trend (RSI, MACD, and where price sits vs 20/50/200-day moving averages).
