The Vantafin screener lets you filter thousands of stocks and ETFs down to the ones that match your criteria, using price, daily change, fundamentals, valuation, growth, dividends, and dozens of other metrics. You open it from the sidebar at /app/screener. This guide walks you through building your first screen from scratch.
What the screener is for
A screener answers "which companies match these rules?" Instead of checking tickers one by one, you define filters and get a live list. Common uses:
- Find profitable companies trading below a valuation threshold.
- Surface dividend payers with a minimum yield.
- Spot the day's big movers by percent change.
Build a screen step by step
- Open the Screener.
- Add a filter - for example, market capitalization greater than a value.
- Add more filters to narrow the list (each filter is combined, so results match all of them).
- Review the results table; it updates as you refine filters.
- Click any row to open that company's profile.
Example: large, profitable, reasonably valued
Try this starter screen:
| Filter | Example value |
|---|---|
| Market cap | Greater than $10B |
| Net income | Positive |
| P/E ratio | Less than 25 |
This narrows to large, profitable companies that are not trading at extreme multiples. Adjust the thresholds to fit your strategy. For a deeper dive on valuation and fundamental filters, see Filter by fundamentals and valuation.
From results to research
The screener is the start of a workflow, not the end:
- Open promising results as company profiles.
- Save the ones you like into a watchlist.
- Ask AI Chat to compare them by attaching the watchlist.
Save your screen
Once you have a screen you like, save it so you can reopen it later without rebuilding. Saved screens live under your account. See Customize columns and save screens.
Stocks and ETFs
The screener covers both stocks and ETFs. Use filters appropriate to the security type - for example, valuation multiples for operating companies.
