Screen Stocks To investigate stocks for potential investment according to a predetermined set of criteria. For example, an investor may screen stocks according to the lowest price, the most market capitalization, the most favorable price-earnings ratio, or any number of other variables. One may also combine criteria while screening stocks. The process is designed to help one make the best investment decisions, and is often accomplished with the help of a computer.
Screen. A screen is a set of criteria against which you measure stocks or other investments to find those that meet your criteria. For example, you might screen for stocks that meet a certain environmentally or socially responsible standard, or for those with current price-to-earnings ratios (P/E) less than the current market average. A socially responsible mutual fund describes the screens it uses to select investments in its prospectus. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
