U.S. Stock Screener
Welcome to the SmartSpot Pro Stock Screener — your tool for finding and comparing U.S. stocks based on fundamental financial metrics.
Our full stock screening tool is currently in development. In the meantime, explore our educational guides to understand the key metrics used in stock screening.
What Is a Stock Screener?
A stock screener is a tool that allows investors to filter stocks based on specific financial criteria. Instead of manually researching thousands of companies, a screener helps you narrow down the universe of stocks to those that match your investment criteria.
Key Metrics Used in Stock Screening
📊 P/E Ratio (Price-to-Earnings)
Measures how much investors pay per dollar of earnings. A lower P/E may indicate an undervalued stock, while a higher P/E suggests growth expectations. Best used when comparing companies within the same industry.
📊 P/B Ratio (Price-to-Book)
Compares a company’s market value to its book value. A P/B below 1.0 may indicate the stock is trading below its asset value — potentially interesting for value investors.
📊 ROE (Return on Equity)
Measures how efficiently a company uses shareholder equity to generate profit. A higher ROE generally indicates better management efficiency.
📊 Dividend Yield
The annual dividend payment expressed as a percentage of the stock price. Useful for income-focused investors looking for regular cash flow.
📊 Market Capitalization
The total market value of a company’s outstanding shares. Stocks are typically classified as large-cap (>$10B), mid-cap ($2B–$10B), or small-cap (<$2B).
Popular Stock Screening Strategies
- Value Screening: Low P/E + Low P/B ratios

- Income Screening: High dividend yield + stable earnings
- Growth Screening: Revenue growth + earnings growth rate
- Large Cap Stability: High market cap + consistent profitability
Coming Soon
We are building an interactive stock screening tool that will allow you to filter U.S. stocks by P/E, P/B, ROE, dividend yield, market cap, and more. Stay tuned for updates!
