Stock Screener

A stock screener is a tool that filters a universe of stocks down to those meeting specific criteria - like a minimum ROIC, maximum P/E, or positive earnings revisions. Traditional screeners run a snapshot at a single point in time; more advanced setups chain screens together and re-run them automatically as new data arrives.
