With our Interactive Stock Screener with inbuilt user centric features, you can spot market movers and make informed investment decisions. After all why should you let someone else make your investment decisions when you can take them with the help of the interactive stock screener tool.
Here's how the interactive stock screener can help you:
Snapshot view: Spot sectors or scrips that are out performing the markets. Get a snapshot view of the markets and how they are performing on the day. In short you can spot the laggards and the top performers in a matter of a few seconds.
In simple terms the relative shades of green indicate that the stock or sector is doing well and as the colour shifts to shades of red ,you can get to know that the sector /stock is underperforming.
Ease: With clearly differentiated colour-coded representation designed to provide a consolidated view of dynamic market opportunities, you can drill-down to even a symbol-specific detail
On moving the mouse over a particular stock, you can come to know of the essential details of the stock like P/E ratio, Dividend yield, EPS and returns over specific periods of time.
Classification: The interactive stock screener with its inbuilt logic classifies related sectors/scrips into specific categories so you can choose to view scrips as per pre-defined criteria.
For example - you can group securities by sector and then choose the colour based on percentage change and have the size of the blocks represented by Market capitalization.
Compare: You can also compare how a particular sector is performing vis a vis others. More importantly you can also customize the views that you wish to analyze at any given time. You may choose the Interactive stock screener to view and compare Index scrips or your own portfolio of stocks
For example - In the illustration shown above, the criteria selected are:
Grouping by sectors
Colour representation is basis the returns over a year's period and
Size of the blocks is on the basis of market capitalization.
Inference -It is clear that for the criteria chosen, "Computers" and Banks are sectors that have performed well as represented by the dark shades of green where as Telecommunications and Construction sectors represented by the red shades has been underperforming in the past one year.
