Using the stock screener

The screener at equibles.com/stocks/screener filters the whole covered universe on valuation, growth, profitability, ownership, insider and short-interest metrics. Filtering, choosing columns and exporting a CSV work on every plan, signed in or not.

Find a company

Type a ticker or a company name in the search box above the results. It matches ticker prefixes and name substrings, so AAPL returns Apple and also lists other instruments whose ticker starts with those letters, such as the AAPB leveraged ETF. Type more of the name to narrow it.

Choose a market

The market selector beside the search box narrows the screen to one listing country, such as the United Kingdom, France or China. It starts on all markets. A non-US row opens that listing's own stock page, and its price and market cap are shown in dollars at the official exchange rate so every market sorts on one scale; the price column also shows the close in the currency the stock trades in. Non-US rows carry price and market cap only, so a bound on any other metric leaves them out.

Analyze a list you already hold

Click Paste a list beside the search box and paste your tickers. Commas, spaces or one per line all work, so a column copied straight out of a spreadsheet is fine. The screen then covers only those companies, with every filter and column still applied, which is the quickest way to compare holdings on margins, growth or valuation side by side.

A symbol we do not cover is named under the table rather than dropped silently. Class-share spellings such as BRK.B find the right company, and a secondary listing such as GOOG resolves to its issuer's row.

The Portfolios page links straight here with your holdings filled in, under Analyze in screener.

Filter by any metric

The rule builder under Manual mode reaches the full vocabulary. A condition names a metric, a comparison and a value; is between takes a lower and an upper bound on the same metric and counts as one condition. Browse all metrics lists everything the builder knows, grouped into Size & valuation, Historical valuation, Financials, Per share, Growth & profitability, Quality, Capital returns, Price action, Ownership & sentiment, and Growth & CAGR.

One thing is worth knowing before you read a result: a bound excludes companies with no data on that axis. Asking for a free-cash-flow margin above 10% removes every company that reports no free cash flow, not just the ones below the bar.

Active filters appear as chips above the table. Remove one by clicking its ×, or clear the lot with Clear all.

Load a ready-made screen

Load a screen offers eight quick screens with their live match counts, and, once you are signed in, the screens you have saved. Loading one fills the rule builder with its conditions, so it is a starting point you can edit rather than a fixed list.

Pick the columns you need

Columns opens the picker. Tick the metrics you want, drag to reorder them, and your choice is remembered on this browser and carried in the page URL. The ticker and company name are always shown.

Download a CSV

CSV exports exactly what you are looking at: the same rows, the same columns, in the same order. It takes the filters and columns from the URL, so this link works on its own:

https://equibles.com/stocks/screener/csv?q=AAPL&cols=opmargin,fcfmargin,epsgrowth

The equivalent screen in the browser is the same query string on the page itself:

https://equibles.com/stocks/screener?q=AAPL&cols=opmargin,fcfmargin,epsgrowth

Because the whole screen lives in the URL, you can bookmark one or share it with someone else.

Bulk data export

Bulk data export is a CSV download of a screener result for your own analysis. It includes the selected fundamentals, such as operating margin, free-cash-flow margin and EPS growth, not only share price and volume. Ordinary CSV export works on every plan, Free included; exporting a screen built with advanced or ALVIS-authored rules needs Pro.

Open the stock screener, choose the companies and filters, select the fields under Columns, then click CSV. The download contains the whole filtered result, not just the current page. Open the file in Excel or import it as CSV into your own software. Missing source data stays blank rather than becoming zero.

This is a current cross-company snapshot, not a historical database. For supported historical series, such as revenue breakdowns and company KPIs, use the fundamentals REST endpoints for each company, within your plan's request limits. These endpoints do not provide full historical financial-statement exports.

Bulk dataset downloads

On Pro, Bulk downloads in your dashboard offers whole datasets as gzip-compressed CSV files covering all the history we hold: short interest, daily short volume and fails-to-deliver (one file per year), plus at-the-market offering programs, going-concern assessments and share buyback programs (one file each). Each dataset lists its columns and notes on the page. Price, quote and option data are not offered as bulk files.

Build a rule

The rule builder is open on every plan. Pick a metric, a comparison and a value, and run the screen. Choosing is between sets a lower and an upper bound on one metric, which counts as one condition. A condition can also be a company classification, such as a sector or an index membership.

Outside Pro, including the free plan, the screener limits you to one condition at a time, so each screen has a single filter. You can save it and export it exactly like any other screen.

Pro adds:

  • More conditions than one, combined with ALL or ANY.
  • Metric-to-metric arithmetic, for example a price/earnings ratio below EV/EBITDA times 1.2.
  • The advanced expression editor, which writes the same rules as free text.
  • Institution-activity rules, and CSV exports of the larger screens ALVIS generates.

Ask ALVIS instead

AI mode asks ALVIS, the AI analyst, to take a screen described in plain English and turn it into rules you can then edit by hand. Each ask spends one credit from the same allowance ALVIS chat uses; the box shows what you have left. Signing in gives you a larger allowance than browsing anonymously.

If you run out, manual mode still does the whole job: bounds, columns and CSV cost nothing.

Programmatic access

The same screen is available to code and to AI agents:
