What Is a Stock Screener?
A screener is a filtering tool that narrows a large universe of securities or events down to the ones that match your criteria. Instead of manually reviewing thousands of companies, you set parameters and instantly get a focused list to work from.
MarketBeat offers screeners across several different categories:
- Stock Screener — Filter stocks by price, volume, market cap, P/E ratio, analyst consensus, short interest, and more.
- Dividend Screener — Find dividend-paying stocks by yield, payout ratio, ex-dividend date, and dividend growth history.
- Earnings Announcements Screener — Screen for upcoming or recent earnings reports by expected EPS, surprise history, and revenue growth.
- ETF Screener — Filter ETFs by expense ratio, assets under management, dividend yield, and fund category.
- Analyst Ratings Screener — Find stocks by analyst consensus, price target upside, number of ratings, and brokerage firm.
- Insider Transactions Screener — Track insider buying and selling by transaction type, dollar amount, and executive role.
Each screener uses live data and can be sorted, combined, and exported to fit your workflow.
