Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

A stock screener filters thousands of listed companies down to a short list using conditions you choose, such as PE ratio, return on equity, debt-to-equity, market capitalisation or RSI. A simple quality screen run on 6 October 2026 with ROE above 20%, debt-to-equity below 0.5 and PE below 30 cut the Indian large-cap universe to just 11 names, including TCS, Infosys and ITC. The shortlist is a starting point for research, not a buy list, because every name still needs a check of results, sector and valuation history.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

A stock screener does in seconds what used to take an evening with annual reports and a spreadsheet. India has more than 5,000 listed companies across NSE and BSE, and no investor can read all of them. The right set of filters removes 99% of that universe and leaves the handful worth your time.<\/p>\n

This guide explains how to use a stock screener step by step, which filters matter for long-term investing and for trading, five ready-made screens you can copy, and the mistakes that turn a good screen into a value trap. It also walks through a live screen run on 6 October 2026, with the actual results.<\/p>\n
