Why Use an AI-Powered Stock Screener?
Traditional stock screeners have been around for decades — Finviz, TradingView, and Yahoo Finance all offer screening capabilities. But they share a fundamental limitation: you must know exactly what numerical thresholds to set. If you want "stocks with reasonable valuations and strong growth," you need to decide what P/E counts as "reasonable" and what growth rate counts as "strong." For different sectors and market conditions, these thresholds change.
Ecomerate's AI-powered screener eliminates this friction. By accepting natural-language queries and using a reasoning AI model trained on financial data, it interprets your intent and sets appropriate thresholds automatically. It also goes beyond simple filtering — the AI ranks results by relevance, considering factors like earnings call sentiment, insider trading patterns, and institutional ownership changes that traditional screeners ignore.
For retail investors, this is a game changer. Instead of spending hours configuring filters and manually reviewing hundreds of results, you can describe what you're looking for in plain English and get AI-ranked results in seconds. The screener learns from your interactions, improving its ranking over time based on which stocks you investigate further.
Getting Started with the Ecomerate Screener
The Ecomerate stock screener is accessible from the "Screener" tab in your dashboard. The interface is designed around speed and flexibility, with three primary screening modes:
Mode 1: Natural-Language Screening
The simplest way to screen. Type what you're looking for in the search bar at the top of the Screener page. Examples include:
- •"Large-cap tech stocks with P/E under 25 and revenue growth above 15%"
- •"Beaten-down small caps with insider buying and high short interest"
- •"Dividend aristocrats with P/E under 20 and dividend growth for 10+ years"
- •"High-growth biotech stocks with positive cash flow and recent FDA catalysts"
The AI parses your query, identifies the relevant filter categories, sets appropriate thresholds based on current market medians, and runs the screen. Results appear within seconds, ranked by AI relevance score.
Mode 2: Visual Filter Builder
For investors who prefer granular control, the visual filter builder lets you select individual criteria from organized categories. Each filter shows current market median values, suggested ranges, and presets for common screening strategies like "Value," "Growth," "Momentum," "Income," and "Contrarian."
The filter builder organizes criteria into eight categories:
P/E, P/S, P/B, EV/EBITDA, PEG, Dividend Yield, FCF Yield
Revenue Growth, EPS Growth, EBITDA Growth, FCF Growth, Book Value Growth
Gross Margin, Operating Margin, ROE, ROIC, Net Profit Margin, Asset Turnover
Debt-to-Equity, Current Ratio, Interest Coverage, Altman Z-Score, Quick Ratio
RSI, MACD, SMA/EMA, Bollinger Bands, Volume, ATR, Stochastic
Insider Buy/Sell Ratio, Recent Transactions, Insider Ownership % Change
Institutional Ownership %, 13F Holdings Change, Number of Institutions
Market Cap, Sector, Industry, Exchange, Price Range, Average Volume
Mode 3: AI-Ranked Pre-Built Screeners
Ecomerate offers a library of pre-built screeners designed by the research team, covering proven investment strategies. These include "Deep Value" (low P/B, low P/E, high FCF yield), "GARP" (Growth at Reasonable Price — PEG under 1.5, ROE above 15%), "Momentum Leaders" (high RSI, rising volume, price near 52-week high), "Insider Favorites" (recent insider buying, low insider selling), and "Institutional Accumulation" (rising institutional ownership, high 13F activity). Each pre-built screener includes transparent AI ranking logic so you understand why specific stocks appear at the top.

Open Dashboard →Advanced Screening Strategies
Beyond basic screening, Ecomerate supports several advanced techniques that professional investors use to find their best ideas:
Multi-Factor Scoring
Create screeners that score stocks across multiple factors simultaneously. For example, you might screen for stocks that score well on both value factors (low P/E, high FCF yield) and quality factors (high ROE, low debt-to-equity). The AI assigns weights to each factor based on historical efficacy and your preferences, then produces a composite score. This is the same approach used by quantitative hedge funds to build multi-factor alpha models.
Sentiment-Enhanced Screening
Combine traditional filters with Ecomerate's NLP sentiment analysis. Screen for stocks that meet your fundamental criteria AND have positive earnings call sentiment, rising social media buzz, or favorable news coverage. This creates a powerful signal that filters out value traps and confirms positive momentum. For example, "stocks with P/E under 20, revenue growth over 10%, AND positive earnings call sentiment" produces a tighter, higher-conviction list than any single filter alone.
Sector-Relative Screening
One of the most powerful features is screening within sectors relative to their peers. Instead of setting absolute P/E thresholds (which mean different things for tech vs. utilities), you can screen for stocks in the top quartile of their sector for key metrics. This surfaces the best-positioned companies in each industry and helps you build a diversified portfolio of sector leaders. Ecomerate automatically computes sector-relative percentiles for every filter criterion.
Saving and Automating Screeners
Once you've built a screener you like, click "Save Screener" to preserve it for future use. Saved screeners appear in your "My Screeners" library with one-click execution. You can also:
- •Set email alerts: Receive daily or weekly emails when new stocks match your criteria. Customize the frequency and alert conditions.
- •Share screeners: Generate a shareable link to your screener that other Ecomerate users can clone and modify.
- •Export results: Download screener results as CSV for offline analysis or import into your own models.
- •Version history: Track changes to your screeners over time and revert to previous versions.
Interpreting AI-Ranked Results
When the AI ranks your screener results, each stock receives a relevance score from 0 to 100. This score is calculated by weighting each filter criterion's magnitude relative to the market, factoring in earnings quality signals, sentiment data, and historical pattern recognition. Stocks with higher scores match your criteria more strongly and have additional positive signals that your explicit filters may not capture.
Click any stock in the results to see a breakdown of why it ranked where it did — which filters it passed strongly, which it barely passed, and what additional AI signals influenced its score. This transparency helps you refine your screening strategy over time and build intuition about what drives strong multi-factor performance.
