Stock screener: filter the universe to a reading list

The screener is the front door to the universe. Every company we cover is in the table, and the job of the page is to get you from all of them to the handful worth an afternoon.

Filters narrow, sorting orders

These are two different things and the page keeps them apart on purpose.

A filter removes companies from the table. Sector, market cap, score threshold, country, style. Stack as many as you like, and the count under the heading tells you what survived.

Sorting only rearranges what is left. You can stack sorts too, so score descending with market cap as a tiebreak orders the table the way you actually think about it.

Style: value and growth

Each company carries a style tag. It is a classification of the company's financial shape rather than a judgment, and it matters because the valuation work behind the score treats a high multiple differently depending on whether growth justifies it.

A growth tag is not a warning and a value tag is not a bargain. It tells you which lens the valuation section is looking through.

What the score column ranks

The default sort is Returnolio score, descending. Worth being precise about what that ordering means.

The score ranks companies against each other on quality, real earning power and price. It does not account for anything specific to you, and it does not predict a return. Sorting by it gives you a reading list, not a shopping list.

Where the universe comes from

Companies enter the universe on our coverage rules and leave it when they are acquired, delisted or renamed. The count moves over time, and a company dropping out of the table does not mean it dropped in quality. See coverage for what is in scope.
