Stock Screener

Stock Screener

A tool investors can use to filter stocks given certain criteria of their choice.

Notes:

By using a stock screening tool an investor is able to follow a strict set of criteria that he or she requires prior to investing in a company. For example, an investor could screen stocks by entering the following criteria: 'listed on the NYSE', 'in the telecommunications industry', 'has a P/E ratio between 15-25', and 'has an annual EPS growth of at least 15% for the past three years'. The screener would then produce a list of stocks that displayed all of these attributes. In this example stocks are screened by using only four criteria however, you can screen stocks by as many criteria as the particular screener you are using will allow.

The stock screener has replaced days worth of research with a few clicks of a mouse.
