How to Use This List

A high DipBuster Score does not mean buy immediately — it means the stock has fallen meaningfully from its high and is showing early signs of stabilising on volume. Before acting on any signal: read the company's most recent annual report, check the RNS filings (for UK stocks), and confirm the business itself is sound. The Score reads price action only; it does not judge the underlying company.

A STRONG DIP signal (68+) has the deepest, best-confirmed dip. DIP SIGNAL (50–67) is a worthwhile dip with most of the confirmation in place. WATCH (35–49) has some dip characteristics but incomplete recovery or volume. Below 35 is not a dip — the stock is near its highs or still falling hard.

Methodology

Each stock is scored across four price-action components: Dip Depth (40pts) — distance below the 52-week high; Recovery & Momentum (30pts) — the current move plus where price sits in the day's range; Volume Confirmation (20pts) — turnover versus the 3-month average; Range Stability (10pts) — how tight the intraday range is. Scores update as new price data arrives. Read the full methodology on the How It Works page.
