  2. Financial Ratio Screening: The company's debt-to-market-cap ratio must be below 30%. Interest-bearing income and impure income must each remain below 5% of total revenue.
  3. Ongoing Monitoring: NVIDIA is reviewed at minimum once per quarter. The most recent review was completed on March 24, 2026. If the company's operations, acquisitions, or financial structure change significantly, an immediate review is conducted.
