Browser

Explore the full global stock universe by category, sector, and exchange — no screener criteria required.

5 min read

Browser in ScreenerHub is the discovery surface for navigating the full active stock universe by category, sector, and exchange without writing screener criteria first. Use it to explore markets at a broad level when you do not yet have a defined thesis.

What Browser is for

Browser answers a different question than Studio. When you already know the rules you want to test, open Studio. When you are still working out what to look for, start in Browser.

Three concrete questions Browser should answer before you move on:

  • Which sectors or exchanges have names worth investigating right now?
  • Do any large-cap dividend payers or quality companies stand out on a quick scan?
  • Which of those names deserves a deeper look in Studio or on a company page?

How to use it

Pick a category

The category bar at the top of Browser groups the universe into seven starting points:

  • All — the full active global universe, sorted by market cap.
  • Mega Cap — companies above the large-cap market cap threshold.
  • Momentum — names with strong recent price performance.
  • Dividend — companies paying a meaningful dividend yield.
  • Value — stocks trading at lower valuation multiples relative to their peers.
  • Growth — companies with above-average revenue or earnings growth.
  • Quality — profitable businesses with strong returns on capital.

Each category is a preset query, not a saved screener. The result refreshes immediately when you switch. To define your own thresholds and save the result, take the idea into Studio.

Narrow by exchange or sector

Two dropdowns sit beside the category bar:

  • Exchange — limits the universe to a specific exchange, such as NYSE, NASDAQ, or major European and Asian markets.
  • Sector — filters to a single GICS sector such as Technology, Financials, or Health Care.

Both filters work together and can be combined with a category. Use exchange to focus on a market you know. Use sector when you want to compare companies within an industry before opening individual company pages.

Search by name or ticker

The search field returns results as you type. Use it to locate a specific company quickly, or to confirm that a ticker is in the universe before building a screen around it. Search works across all active categories and narrows the current view without resetting your other filters.

Read a stock card

Each card shows the headline data you need for a first impression:

  • current price and today's change
  • one-year price return
  • market cap
  • P/E Ratio TTM
  • dividend yield
  • revenue TTM

Cards are sorted by market cap by default. Browser does not support custom sort orders — for ranked output, use Studio.

Compare stocks side by side

Select up to three stocks using the compare button on each card. A comparison bar appears at the bottom of the screen with a shortcut to the full side-by-side comparison view. Use this when you want to weigh two similar businesses before adding one to a watchlist.

Save stocks for follow-up

The bookmark icon on each card saves a stock to your shortlist. Saved stocks persist within a session so you can navigate between filters without losing your selections. To keep the list beyond the current session, move the names to a Watchlist.

Saving requires an account. If you are not signed in, the first save action will prompt you to register.

Jump from Browser to a stock page or Studio

Clicking the company name or symbol on a card opens the full company profile at /stocks/[symbol]. This is the best path when you want detailed financials, analyst estimates, or historical charts for a single name.

To move from a Browser result into a screener, open Studio and use the name you found in Browser as a reference when calibrating thresholds. There is no automatic handoff — Studio and Browser are independent surfaces.

Common patterns

Sector sweep before a reporting window. Set the exchange to your main market, pick a sector, and scan for names that look unusual ahead of a major earnings season. Bookmark the ones you want to revisit.

Dividend candidates at a glance. Select the Dividend category and narrow to a single exchange. Browser surfaces dividend-paying companies sorted by market cap. Save the most interesting names, then open Studio to apply precise yield or payout filters.

Quality check for a specific region. Combine the Quality category with a country-specific exchange to see which high-return businesses operate in a particular market. Use this as a starting universe before refining in Studio.

Quick comparison before a decision. Use the compare feature across two or three stocks in different sectors to build a fast sense of relative valuation before committing to a deeper analysis.

What it is not

Browser is not a saved view. Refreshing the page or changing a filter resets the results. If a combination of category, exchange, and sector produces a useful starting set, recreate it as a screen in Studio where you can save, name, and rerun it on any date.

Browser is not a screener. It does not support custom filter criteria, operator logic, or threshold ranges. For any filter more specific than a preset category, use Studio.

Browser is not a portfolio tracker. Saved stocks in Browser are a temporary shortlist for the current session. For persistent tracking with periodic checks, move the names to a Watchlist or a Monitoring Lab set.
