I'm very happy to announce that today we are introducing a new stock screener to Google Finance. If you haven't used one before, a screener is an advanced search tool that lets you find companies which match a set of criteria. For example, you could search for large companies with a PE ratio less than 20 which pay at least a 5% dividend. Or you could screen for small tech companies with strong 5 year growth. It's entirely up to your investment strategy.
There are a number of new and cool features I'd like to mention. Anytime you make adjustments like setting a value, removing a criteria, or limiting the search to a single exchange, the list of results updates automatically. The search is completely live -- no buttons to press. We also have blue and white histograms so you can see the distribution of all companies for a particular value--for example there are far more companies with a market cap below one billion dollars than above. You can either grab the sliders or type exact values to the set the minimum and maximum for each criteria.
Once you have run a screen that you like, you can bookmark the page or email the link to a friend. Since not all of the criteria may be familiar terms, we've included definitions in the Add Criteria wizard, as well as a help icon next to each line.
As always, please let us know how you like it. We're hard at work on new features and want to incorporate your suggestions. Happy screening!

hi daniel, tried it and it looks great, will be even better with these enhancements:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dthcr25_138c2pjpw&hl=en
I would like to see added:
PEG ratios
EPS Growth Rates
Debt/Equity Ratio
This would be great.

Finally ive found a way to make a suggestion.
1. If your not based in the USA like me as I am in Australia the main google finance page is of no use at all. For instance if I type in www.google.com.au/finance it brings my up the stats for the the US markets personally I think this data should come from the region that you typed in the address for. Actually I just checked it .co.uk brings up the FTSe market data ok but us aussies seem to be left out.
2. Just as a side note it would be good if google built a suggestion box so we can send new suggestion to you easier.
Thanks

This is beautiful - the live search is wonderful. Adding a few technical screeners - %above 50d MA and the like - would make this near perfect.

The finance section is great but it sometimes tries to be too clever. For example, The two stories flagged on the GFIG share price for 03-Apr-2008 concern a company, GFI Informatique Group which is completely unrelated to GFI Inc which issues the GFIG stock (on Nasdaq). The implications are obvious and potentially quite disturbing.

daniel the new live stock screener is excellent. really like the histogram and the slider. very intuitive and powerful. definitely leapfrogged yahoo's screener.
Following enhancement would help :
Lets say I would like a list of stocks making 52-week lows, sorted by Industry Group, so that I can know which industry groups are weak. Right now, in yahoo finance screener, I can only get the list of stocks making 52-week lows, but I cannot arrange the results based on the stock industry group. Also when I see the symbols from a stock screen and want to SCROLL down through their daily and weekly charts, right now there is no easy way; right now, I have to manually open each stock in a new window, which is painful. By moving my cursor over the symbol name, I should be able to see the stocks charts pop-up and then automatically close as I move away from that symbol. www.dailygraphs.com does this well, please take a look.
Suggestion. Can we have a way to break companies down by index? I'd like to be able to see records for companies that are on the DJIA, SP500, etc.
I second the nomination for PEG Ratios. Would also like to see pure price performance in the form of either or both Compound Annual Growth Rate or Price % gain last 5 or 10 years.
Nice work! PEG ratios would be awesome along with free cash flow ratios.
Can I get an RSS feed for the screener? I'd also like to be able to go back and time to see which stocks would meet a screen on a certain date... so I can analyze how things would turn out.
Love the stock screener!
Can the screener function be limited to a user specified Sector/Industry?
I second PEG ratios, also...
Not to pick a nit, but a 'feedback on this stock display' would be helpful. Example: The 'Name' displayed for GSP (iPath S&P GSCI Total Return Index ETN), OIL (iPath S&P GSCI Crude Oil Tot Ret Idx ETN), COW (iPath DJ AIG Livestock TR Sub-Idx ETN), & others are virtually identical in Google Finance..."BARCLAYS BK PLC" or "BARCLAYS BANK PLC". Very annoying. Would like to let you know when this happens, but not easily done at the moment.
Thanks for all the good work!
this is neat but slow
It looks like it will be a very useful tool. Thank You!
Love it.
Stock Screener is great. Would suggest adding number shares, return on assets and return on equity for screening.

This screener is going to blow yahoo out of the water. Awesome, it was worth the wait.
Can you consider a level 1 and level 2 criteria, where one user can define a level 2 criteria based on the numbers available in level 1 ? Just keep the core numbers in level 1 and let users define level 2 criteria for themselves.
For example, I may define a level 2 criteria as (sales per share*net profit margin)/stockprice
Also, what features can you add to compare historic numbers - for example if I want to plot and view my level 2 criteria over the last 5 years ?
Thanks and keep up the good work, you google folks.
Btw, I would love to work for google someday !

It would be great if we can filter the results based on arithmetic functions of parameters (for example multiplying 2 rations)
thanks guys for the good work
You have a very nice, easy to use interface. Congratulatons. But the usefullness of the screener is limited by the lack of criteria related to fundamental analysis. I hope you expand the criteria to include more components of the income statement, the balance sheet and the cash flow statement.
Fantastic stock screener. I hope the euronext exchange will be added soon. There are no decent publicly available screeners for european stocks.
What about the Australian exchange (ASX)? I prefer to use the Yahoo site as it supports Australian listed companies.
سر به دارم می کند
سر به دارم می کند هر دم ندای اندرون
شکوه دارم عالمی از اين هوای داغ دل
من عاشیق چالام سازی
الیمه آلام سازی
ائرکیم دولی اولسا
کاغازا یازام یازی
می خواهم نوشته هایم را جمع بندی کنم
تخلص من شفق است
آنچه می نویسم مخصوص دل خودم است
هر چه از دلم می گذرد
سفیداب کاغذی را سیاه میکند
باشد که سخنان دل معلمی که باشاگرد زیست شاد و غمگین شد دل حرمانزده ای را شاد کند

This suggestion is not for the screener, but for individual stock pages. I would like to have the option to hide discussion posts. A lot of time there are offensive or otherwise distracting topics that I would prefer not to see when looking over a stock. Thank you.
Love it. Also, I noticed the layout changed. Will there be anyway to customize it? There's a lot of new stuff on the new design that I don't really use. Great stuff, though.
please consider to add these *critical* screening factors:
(1) 5,10,Max years market price growth by %
(2) current price > 20,50,200 days moving average
(3) trading volumes growth within past # of days by %
(4) current Price/Book ratio vs Industrial average
(5) option call/put ratio within last 1 to 3 months
(6) cash flow growth in past 3,5,10 years vs industrial average
(7) revenue growth in past 3,5,10 years vs industrial average
Add Tangible Book Value and Price/Tangible Book Value.
Thanks!
Very nice indeed.
But please don't forget about other developed markets.
Personaly I would like Deutsche Boerse, Euronext en LSE.
Thx
Share another stock screener, you can screen the stock on history data and you can see how the strategy works.
Stock Screener
It would awsome if you could also add the sub sector categories to also filter by. Right now you just have the Sectors in a drop down list, but if you could also have the sub sectors that would be really helpfull.
Also, could you add sub sectors to the Sector Summary Chart on the main finance page
Thanks,
Evan
I'd like to see it cover Euronext, Deutche Borse. If it did, it would be unique. As it is, there are other US stock screeners that are miles better.
Hi, I noticed there's a bug with some of the criterias. For example, if you add "price->EPS" you will NOT get any stocks with a negative EPS. This seems to be a simple bug to fix. I know GM has EPS of -74.29 so the possible search of EPS should be correct, but none of the stocks show up.
This bug also affects some other metrics/criterias with possible negative values but I cannot recall right now.
The big problem is that I cannot find any place to report a bug or make a suggestion about Google Finance...
I hope somebody reads this and this comment won't end up in computer purgatory, thanks
the slider is cool
for 52 week highs and lows, it would be more interesting to sort based on % of high and low, rather than absolute levels (i.e. those stocks at 95% or greater of the high or 105% or lower of the low.)
I would like to add a % growth line in the regular google finance page to do a comparison between a stock and a certain % growth like 6%.
I think the stock screener is a great addition to the finance area but it'd be helpful if there was a tutorial to demonstrate how to achieve different results. It'd also be nice if the tutorial was in text, not flash or a video because people using screen readers can't get any information from flash files or videos.
It'd also be nice to be able to have the following functions in the stock screener:
1. Screen stocks by market close price
2. Screen stocks by market close price within the past years/months/days/hours
3. Screen stocks by after-hours market increases/decreases
4. Screen stocks by after-hours market increases/decreases within the past years/months/days/hours
5. Add some of the other exchanges besides just AMEX/NASDAQ/NYSE
6. Expand the "industry" search a little more (like stockline.com has their industries set up)
Other suggestions to add to the Finance area:
1. A stock symbol search -- for example, put in the name of a company and find the stock symbol for that company.
2. Add stock grading based on grade/valuation/efficiency (like stockline.com does)
3. Add a Grail Indicator (like tradestars.com)
4. Add a free online market simulation where people can signup to play with virtual money and backtest their strategies using different methods (e.g., buy/stop, sell short, day trading, buy long/short, etc.)
I love Google finance and think it's one of the best of its kind around anywhere, but feel it could be more useful and helpful for people who want to learn more about stocks and trading.
love the stock screener.
- is there anyway to save the settings in the stock screener so that i don't have to reenter everytime i go back to the site.
Consider adding:
PEG Ratios
EPS Growth Rates
Debt/Equity Ratios
Sector Grouping
+/- performance charting
As long as there are no customized European versions of Google Finance, it would be great if the extremely useful stock screener could also show shares from the major European trading places.
The Stock Screener looks really good. Could you please add the capability to extract the results to csv or some other format? It would help in keeping track of the stocks.
I'm wondering how fresh the data is? In particular, I've noticed the "52w Price Change (%)" is completely wrong. Also the same criteria used on other screeners generates different results.
If you added PE Ratio times Price to Book Ratio and also added Years of Continuous Dividends then you'd have all of Benjamin Graham's values for evaluating stocks (from The Intelligent Investor)
Really great initiative and great start.
Suggestions:
-Add a sorting feature (sort according to certain criteria like PER, ROE, Dividends) in order to implement methods such as Greenblatt's Magic Formula or The Dogs of the Dow
-Add quotations for European stocks: I work and invest in the Euro zone and it would help to have European stocks as well.
-Add possibility to design screening formulas (such as Average dividend for last 5 years) or average earnings for last 5 years etc...
I too like to see the PEG ratio of a stock in the list of information about a stock.
Need to be able to download results to Excel
could you create a link between the stock screener and google docs so I can use the screener to import a list of stocks and metrics into the spreadsheet? This would be powerful because there are lots of post-processing of fundamentals that could be dynamically updated by the stock screener application.
It looks good but it would be very helpful if is also existed for the European market (universe based on FTSE or MSCI Europe indices). To my knowledge, such a pan-European screener does not exist and it would give you a definite edge!
I agree with Bassam, and others, that mentioned it would be a good idea to allow the user to create their own screen based on functions of existing screens.
I agree with all those that are asking for an European stock screener... Considering that there are not so many on the web, it simply would be great!
Please please please make it so that I am able to save different screening criteria!
I am looking forward to seeing a stock screener for Europe. Please do not do it on a country basis (ie one for Germany, one for France, etc.). Nowadays, stock portfolios in Europe are mostly managed at the European level and no longer on a country by country basis. The best universe to start with would be MSCI Europe or FTSE Europe. You may also give the additional option of screening at the level of the Eurozone only.
Congratulations for the work so far and keep it up!
Keyword stock screener. Basically the screener would visually indicate heat maps of frequently searched stocks within certain screening criteria.
Keyword stock screener. Visual indication of what stocks are being searched frequently and price fluctuation indicators according to pps movement.
I like the stock screener.... but I can't use it. If you have to reload the page or do *anything* that interrupts the process (network reconfig that confuses AJAX) I have to start all over... too bad.... be good that have a save feature since I am already logged in.
I also would like to know when the stock screener will be able to serarch ASX (australian) stocks?
It is a great tool, and I would like to use it.
