The Diligent Hand Weekly Rankings #2: 7-8-25 and Trade Idea
This is the weekly rankings #2 for the Diligent Hand Company Deep Dives Series.
July 8, 2025, Rankings & A "Royal Flush" Opportunity Still Available
We believe that in an era of narrative-driven, "System 1" thinking, a rigorous, evidence-based process is the only reliable path to superior returns. For the past several months, we have been running four major companies, from cyclical titans to healthcare giants, through our proprietary 18-stage analytical framework, "The Diligent Hand Gauntlet."
The Gauntlet is not a simple stock screen. It’s a deep, forensic audit of a company's financial resilience, the character of its leadership, the durability of its moat, and the sanity of its valuation. It’s designed to find the rarest of all investment setups: a world-class business that the market profoundly misunderstands.
Today, we’re sharing the results for week #2.
Our analysis has uncovered a spectrum of quality and value, from a fairly-priced stalwart to what our framework identifies as a true "Royal Flush", a generational investment opportunity where every single one of our most critical metrics is aligned.
Later this week, I’ll share the second weekly company deep dive for paid subscribers. Please check last week’s free sample.
The full, detailed rankings with our proprietary scores for each company are available for our premium subscribers below.
