About the Stock Screener
Screen the entire S&P 500 universe by P/E, P/B, ROE, FCF Yield, dividend yield, debt-to-equity, and more. Apply value investing presets like Graham Classic, Buffett Quality, or Deep Value — or build fully custom filters.
The screener is a filter, not a recommendation engine. It narrows 500 stocks to a manageable list that fits your criteria. Every result deserves further research before making investment decisions.
How a Value Investor Uses a Screener
A stock screener won't pick winners. Instead, it shows shares fitting your rules - judgment comes from you. What matters is how you interpret what appears. The tool gives results, yet meaning arrives through thought. Filtering isn't deciding. You shape the outcome long before clicking search.
A person who follows value investing could start their search like this:
Step 1 — Start with quality filters
Over 15 percent return on equity means the business makes solid profits from investor funds.
Debt lower than equity.
A healthy stream of actual money flows out of operations - this means cold hard cash lands in the bank, separate from paper gains on a balance sheet.
This one step usually cuts the S&P 500 list from five hundred names to about a hundred twenty.
Step 2 — Add valuation filters
Less than twenty times earnings - doesn't scream expensive when you look at profits.
Fair value when growth enters the picture. Less than one point five times earnings fits here.
Over four percent FCF yield means the cash coming in feels substantial compared to what you pay. Price looks light when measured against actual cash delivery.
Maybe 25 to 40 stocks remain at this point. Profitable ones make it, plus those that aren't too expensive. Cash flow matters just as much. Businesses here actually bring money in.
Step 3 — Sort and compare
Third up - line them up by FCF Yield, highest first. That way you spot which ones hand back more cash for each buck invested. Those at the peak? Flag them. Not a signal to buy right off, just names that deserve sixty minutes of your time to dig deeper.
Common Presets This Screener Offers
ExampleDeep Value: A stock might catch attention by trading cheap relative to earnings. When cash flow stays strong, that picture gets clearer. Debt weighs less here, almost an afterthought. Think of it like buying more for less, quietly. The approach leans on patience, not flash. Numbers speak louder than trends. A steady path often hides in plain sight.
Quality Growth: What stands out? Strong returns on equity, expanding sales, profits that stay black. These businesses build value over time, quietly gaining strength through consistent performance.
Dividend Aristocrats: 25+ years of consecutive dividend increases.
Start with the screen, never treat it as the endpoint. When a stock shows up after filtering, dig further - study its finances, assess competitive advantages, try a discounted cash flow model. Without filters, facing 500 companies might overwhelm. Yet picking twenty-five poorly? That risk stays untouched.
