US Stock Screeners (best screeners at the top of the page)

Here are websites that allow investors to search for stocks that meet a certain criteria. The criteria are customizable by the investor.  

Finviz - Financial Visualizations - this website has a very good stock screener. There are quite a number of indicators that you can customize your search with. 

Yahoo - Finance - Stock Screener - this is the basic stock screener from Yahoo.com. There is a more advanced stock screener that you can use that will run on your computer. Overall it is a good stock screener and works quite well. You can select criteria and add them or remove them from your stock screener. 

CNBC - Stock Screener - this is the stock screener for CNBC. Generally quite customizable but not as intuitive as the yahoo.com screener. There are a number of pre-made screeners as well as a fund screener and an earnings screener. 

Google - Finance - Stock Screener - This screener has a lot of criteria that you can add to your search. The tool will search through the exchanges that you select and return the resulting companies that meet your criteria. 

Market Watch - Stock Screener - It is easy to use but it still needs quite a bit of work to become as good a tool as the ones listed at the top of this page. 

MSN - Money - Stock Screener - the stock screener for MSN Money (Microsoft's MSN). This is a fairly basic tool and needs some work to be competitive with the stock screeners at the top of the page. 

Globe Investor - Stock Screener - this is the stock screener for globeinvestor.com (the financial website for the Globe and Mail newspaper). The basic screener is another stock screener that needs work. There are premium versions that are better but in order to access them a paid subscription is required.
