What is a stock screener?

December 1, 2022

A stock screener is a tool that allows traders and investors to search for stocks based on specific criteria. Stock screeners are typically used to identify stocks that meet certain criteria, such as a minimum price, market capitalization, or price-to-earnings ratio. This can be useful for investors who are looking for stocks that meet specific criteria, such as value stocks or growth stocks. Stock screeners are available on a variety of platforms, including brokerage websites and financial news and research websites. They can be a valuable tool for traders and investors looking to identify potential investment opportunities.
