Google Stockscreener Review Print E-mail
July 14, 2008


Google has a new stockscreener service. We take a look and see how it compares to other services.

Google Stockscreener is a service by Google that allows stocks to be screened. It can be found by going to Google Finance and clicking on the little link that says "stockscreener" next to the search field area.

What makes Google Stockscreener different from other stockscreener services is that it gives you a real time distribution chart that shows how many companies are in a particular area. For example, if you select a PE ratio of 15, Google shows a population distribution chart of companies with different PE ratios and whether they are on the high or low end of the scale. As you slide the PE ratio to the right or left, the number of companies showing up in the results list will change automatically without having to click any submit button.

So far, compared to the other stockscreener services, I have to say Google is very impressive for a free service. It does have its problems, however. It is currently beta so the issues have yet to be fixed. One annoying issue is that once you pull up list of stocks and click on each of them to take a look at a specific company, it loads the profile. However, when you click to go back it takes you to the first page on the search results so it is hard to go from one company to the next unless you open a new window for each.
