What Is a Stock Screener?
There are over 8,000 publicly traded stocks in the US alone. No investor can research all of them. A stock screener lets you set specific criteria — like valuation, growth, or dividends — and instantly see every stock that matches. Instead of guessing, you start with a focused list of candidates.
