Stock Screener

A stock screener is a tool that filters stocks based on criteria like market cap, P/E ratio, dividend yield, sector and price performance. Screeners help investors find candidates that match their strategy.

How beginners use them

• Start with a simple filter (e.g., market cap > $2B, P/E under 25).
• Sort results by fundamentals or recent performance.
• Use screeners to build a watchlist, then do deeper research on shortlisted names.
