Value Investing Screener

The VM Score is a 0-100 composite that ranks each company across 120 fundamental indicators, organized into five VMCI pillars: Value (35%), Quality (30%), Integrity (15%), Growth (12%), and Risk (8%). Each pillar is percentile-ranked against the full stock universe. Scores above 70 indicate strong fundamentals across multiple dimensions. Recalculated nightly after market close.

The table shows 8 columns: Stock (logo, ticker, name), Piotroski F-Score (0-9, financial health), Beneish M-Score (accounting manipulation indicator), Altman Z-Score (bankruptcy risk), DCF Intrinsic Value ($), ROIC (Return on Invested Capital, %), VM Score (0-100 composite), and Ranking (position in the screened universe). Click any row to open the full 120-indicator analysis.

Piotroski: green (>=7, Strong), neutral (4-6, Neutral), red (<4, Weak). Beneish: green (<-2.22, Low Risk - unlikely manipulator), neutral (-2.22 to -1.78, Investigate), red (>-1.78, High Risk). Altman: green (>2.99, Safe Zone), neutral (1.81-2.99, Grey Zone), red (<1.81, Distress Zone). ROIC: green (>15%, Strong), neutral (8-15%, Adequate), red (<8%, Low). DCF: green badge when stock is undervalued (margin of safety > 0), red when overvalued.

The Ranking column shows the position of each stock in the current screened result set. For example, #1 of 85,000 means this stock ranks first among the total universe matching your filters when sorted by the selected column. It updates as you change the sort order.

Return on Invested Capital measures how efficiently a company deploys its capital to generate profit. An ROIC consistently above its cost of capital (WACC) signals a durable competitive moat. ROIC > 15% is generally excellent; the ROIC-WACC spread measures economic value creation.

The Piotroski F-Score is a 0-9 scoring system using nine binary tests of profitability, leverage/liquidity, and operating efficiency. F-Score >= 7 indicates strong financial health; 0-2 signals fundamental weakness. It is the primary INTEGRITY pillar indicator in the VMCI.

The AI Analyst (Analyst+ feature) lets you describe what you are looking for in plain English. It translates your description into the appropriate filters, runs the screen, and returns a narrative explanation of why the matching companies qualify. It interprets investment criteria like "high-quality, under-the-radar compounders" into quantitative filters across all five VMCI pillars.

The free plan shows up to 50 results from NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, and TSE with 10, 25, or 50 per page options. The Analyst plan ($29/mo) unlocks all 73 global exchanges, up to 500 results, all 120 KPI filters, AI Analyst queries, and CSV export. Professional ($99/mo) extends to 5,000 results.

Financial data is refreshed across five market-close waves throughout the day as global exchanges close (Asia, China, South Asia, Europe, Americas). The VM Score is fully recalculated against the entire stock universe each night after the US market close.

Finviz has a fast UI but lacks composite quality scores (no F-Score, no M-Score, no DCF intrinsic value). Yahoo Finance has data depth but no value-investor-specific scoring, no Quality Triple Check, and no margin-of-safety surface. GuruFocus has guru screens but costs $349/year for premium and locks DCF/F-Score behind a paywall. ValueMarkers gives Piotroski + Altman + Beneish + DCF + ROIC + VM Score in the free tier and adds 120 KPIs plus an AI Analyst for $29/mo.

Yes. The Analyst plan covers all 73 exchanges including London, XETRA, Euronext (Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Dublin), Milan, Madrid, Swiss SIX, Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Athens, Istanbul, plus Asia-Pacific (Tokyo, HKSE, Shanghai, Shenzhen, BSE, NSE, ASX, Singapore, KOSPI, Taiwan), Middle East & Africa (Tadawul, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Cairo, Johannesburg), and South America (B3, Buenos Aires, Santiago).

The Quality Triple Check (QTC) combines three forensic-accounting filters: Piotroski F-Score >= 7 (financial health), Altman Z-Score > 2.99 (low bankruptcy risk), and Beneish M-Score < -1.78 (low earnings-manipulation risk). Stocks passing all three have demonstrated cash earnings quality, balance-sheet safety, and absence of accounting red flags.

Yes. Use the Graham Defensive preset, then add Price < Graham Number and Margin of Safety > 30% from the advanced filters. For strict NCAV (net-net) screening, add the Net-Net Value > Market Cap filter. Combine with Piotroski >= 7 to avoid the value trap.

The DCF uses a standardized two-stage model: years 1-5 use analyst consensus FCF growth (capped at 25%), years 6-10 decay linearly to 3% terminal growth, and the discount rate is the firm-specific WACC computed from beta, debt cost, and equity cost. The model is transparent — every input is on the stock detail page so you can audit each assumption.

Yes, on the Analyst and Professional plans. The custom formula builder lets you combine any of the 120 KPIs with AND, OR, NOT logic and numeric comparisons. Example: (ROIC > 15) AND (P/E < 18) AND (NOT Beneish > -1.78) AND (Insider Ownership > 5%). Save formulas to your account and reuse them across the global universe.

CSV export is available on the Analyst plan ($29/mo) and Professional plan ($99/mo). The export includes every column shown in the table plus the underlying numeric values, the date snapshot, and the filter combination that produced the result set. You can re-import the CSV into Excel, Google Sheets, Python, or any spreadsheet/notebook workflow.
