Can I trust this AI analysis?
Use it to organise your thinking, not to make the decision.
StockEducation uses OpenAI and Perplexity across different AI tools. The provider and method depend on the tool; check its page for details. AI is good at structuring information and explaining what a figure means. It can be wrong about facts, out of date, or confidently invent things that are not true.
It knows nothing about your finances, goals or tax position. Everyone who enters the same information gets the same output.
Before you act on anything here, check it against the company's own filings on SEC EDGAR. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell.
Educational content only. Not financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
Important: This tool is for education and research support only. It does not provide personal financial advice or buy/sell recommendations.
Questions and attached screenshots are sent to OpenAI for processing. Inputs may be temporarily stored to operate, debug, secure and improve the service, and responses may appear in operational logs. Trusted AI or cloud providers may process inputs on StockEducation’s behalf. Do not include passwords, account numbers, identity documents, confidential financial records or detailed portfolio holdings. See the Privacy Policy for provider, retention and deletion details.
Ask the AI about what you see
- Start with two or three rules. A screen with ten conditions often returns nothing, or only odd results.
- A screen is a starting list. Every name that shows up is a company to research, not a stock to buy.
- Screenshot, then ask. The AI cannot see the screener. A screenshot of the row you are curious about gives it the numbers to explain.
What is a stock screener?
A stock screener is a searchable table of stocks that you can sort and filter by numbers, such as company size or price, to shrink thousands of companies to a short list.
You pick the rules, the screener applies them. “US companies worth more than $10 billion with a P/E under 20” turns thousands of stocks into a few dozen. It is the usual first step for finding companies to study, and it only knows the numbers, not whether a business is any good.
This page pairs a TradingView screener of US stocks with an AI helper. The screener opens on the largest US companies with valuation columns showing, and the panel lets you sort by market cap, volume, performance, valuation and more. The AI on the right explains any column, metric or screenshot you give it. OpenAI provides the AI explanations; it does not automatically operate the TradingView screener or verify current market data.
Marcus opens the screener and sees the biggest US companies side by side. One has a P/E near 60 and another has no P/E at all. He screenshots both rows, attaches them and asks why. The AI explains that a P/E of 60 means investors pay $60 for each $1 of yearly profit, usually expecting fast growth, and that a blank P/E often means no profit. He adds both to a list to research and checks their annual reports on SEC EDGAR.
- Browse and sort US stocks by size, volume, performance and valuation
- Ask the AI what any column, ratio or company name means
- Attach up to two screenshots so the AI can explain the exact numbers you see
- Turn a screen into a short research list instead of a buy list
For beginners looking for a free stock screener that explains itself as you go. New to a term on this page? The investment glossary defines it in a sentence.
How do I use a free stock screener?
Pick two or three rules, sort the results by the number you care about most, and research five names before you buy anything. For example: US companies with a market cap above $10 billion and a P/E between 0 and 25. For each name, read what the company sells and check its latest annual report on SEC EDGAR. If a column confuses you, ask the AI beside the screener.

What do the main screener columns mean?
Share price times the number of shares, or what the whole company is worth on the market. Over $10 billion is usually called large cap, $2 billion to $10 billion mid cap.
Price divided by yearly earnings per share. A P/E of 20 means paying $20 for $1 of profit. Blank usually means the company lost money.
Volume is how many shares traded. Performance shows the price change over a period. Big moves tell you something happened, not why, so look up the news.
The AI panel receives only what you type and attach. Ask “why is the third row so cheap?” and it has no idea which row you mean. Take a screenshot of the rows you are curious about, attach it, then ask. Otherwise you spend a daily use on a guess.
How does the stock screener with AI work?
The left panel is a TradingView screener widget set to the US market. It loads its own data from TradingView, and the tool’s disclosure warns that data may be delayed or wrong. Nothing you do in the screener is sent to the AI.
The right panel sends your typed question, plus up to two screenshots, to the StockEducation server, which passes them to an AI model and shows the reply. Text questions and image uploads each have their own daily limit, and the page shows both after every answer.
A simple first screen
| Start | US listed stocks | Thousands |
| Size | Market cap above $10 billion | Large companies |
| Profit | P/E above 0 and below 25 | Profitable, not priced for perfection |
| Income | Dividend yield 2% to 5% | Steady payers |
| Result | A short list to research | Not a buy list |
An illustration of how rules narrow a list, not a recommendation. How many names come back depends on the market and the screener view you use.
What are good stock screens for beginners?
Rules to try when you sort this screener or build a screen in your broker’s app.
| Goal | Rules to try | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Large, steady companies | Market cap above $50 billion | Big does not mean cheap |
| Dividend income | Yield 2% to 5%, positive earnings | Yields above 8% often follow a price fall |
| Value | P/E under 15, positive earnings | Cheap stocks can be cheap for a reason |
| Growth | Strong revenue growth | Fast growers often carry high P/E ratios |
Every screen is a starting list. None of these rules says a stock is a good investment.
What can the screener and AI not do?
The screener data comes from TradingView and may be delayed or wrong, as the tool’s own notice says. Confirm key figures in the company’s filings on SEC EDGAR.
It works only from your question and any screenshots, and it can be out of date or wrong. For a side by side view of a few companies, use compare stocks.
This screener covers US stocks. For funds, use the ETF screener. And a screen says nothing about risk; the risk analyzer helps there.
Free Stock Screener With AI FAQ
What are the best criteria for screening stocks?
There is no best set. Match the rules to your goal: size (market cap), price for profit (P/E), income (dividend yield) or growth (revenue growth). Beginners do well with two or three rules and a clear reason for each.
Is this stock screener free?
Yes. The screener is free with no signup. The AI helper is free too, with a daily limit: text questions and screenshot uploads each have their own count, shown after every answer.
Can the screener data be delayed?
Yes. Treat the TradingView screener values as potentially delayed or inaccurate. This page does not independently verify their freshness. Use the screen to build a research list, then confirm prices and company figures with current original sources.
What does large cap, mid cap and small cap mean?
They describe company size by market cap. Common cutoffs: large cap above $10 billion, mid cap $2 billion to $10 billion, small cap roughly $300 million to $2 billion. Smaller companies tend to swing more in price.
What is a good P/E ratio?
It depends on the industry and growth. The S&P 500 has often traded somewhere around 15 to 25 times earnings. A fast growing software firm may sit far higher, a utility lower. Compare a stock’s P/E with similar companies, not with a single magic number.
Can the AI pick stocks for me?
No. The AI explains columns, ratios and screenshots. It knows nothing about your goals or finances, can be wrong or out of date, and does not recommend stocks. Treat its answers as explanations to check.
How do I attach a screenshot?
Take a screenshot of the screener rows you want explained, press Attach screenshot and choose up to two images. The button shows how many are attached. Type a question, then press the send arrow.
