Screen

Screen is a powerful tool for examining the fundamental characteristics of your current holdings or searching for potential valuable additions to your portfolio. With Screen you can perform interactive screening to analyze market distribution and find companies that can serve as potential candidates for investments.

Screen also allows you to explore the Zacks historical and current market databases of over 8,000 stocks using over 1000 predefined items or an unlimited number of your own custom calculations.

For example, do you want to identify certain low P/E stocks that reported EPS during the last 15 days, and had earnings surprises above their industry median, upward estimate revisions and no decreases in broker recommendations? Do you want to search for mid-cap stocks in the specific industries that are 30% off their highs? Or, perhaps, you only want to view stocks whose earnings growth is above their industry median and whose P/E and P/B are below their industry medians.

You can have answers to these questions in seconds, and after saving your searching criteria, generate and maintain a followed list of companies.

Once you have found promising candidates, you can run or modify pre-configured multi-company reports or create your own. These reports will help you monitor individual components affecting stocks in your portfolio. Screen allows you to produce reports according to your preferences. You can also include your screening criteria in the report. After your report is produced, you can select from a variety of export options to transfer your report's contents for use with other applications.

Screen is also an automation tool. This automation ability (called scripting) is a time-saver that allows you to define repetitive tasks as "macros," similar to macros in the spreadsheet and word processing programs. Once you have defined your scripts, they will automatically run.
