That\u2019s how we find stocks that give us the opportunity to generate income.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently over 200 plus publicly-listed companies in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pse.com.ph\/stockMarket\/home.html\">Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE)<\/a><\/strong>. Now, whether you\u2019re an investor or a trader, the mundane task of sorting through these companies (one by one!) can be a lot tiring, as you can imagine. Thankfully, we\u2019ve already been lightyears away from the stone age-like activity of screening companies one by one. We can now use a screener that has virtually every parameter we need.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re someone who has a day job or is still a student, then using a stock screener is just for you. Using a screener that can scan through various parameters from the PSE stocks, from blue chips to your favorite &#8220;basura&#8221; stocks (3rd liners\/small caps), screening stocks won\u2019t have to be too tedious nor time consuming.<\/p>\n<p>A common question non-market participant asks investors\/traders is how they can find stocks to buy. Both investors and traders have their own strategies in screening for their stocks. They\u2019ll be explained as follows.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Use a Screener?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Investors who use fundamental analysis need their ratios. They need to invest in financially sound companies that will do well in the long run. They want to buy stocks that are undervalued and sell when it\u2019s overvalued.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Here are the ratios available for fundamentalists:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Earnings per Share % (EPS %)<\/li>\n<li>Return on Equity (ROE)<\/li>\n<li>P\/E Ratio (Price to Earnings Ratio)<\/li>\n<li>P\/BV (Price to Book Value Ratio)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>They could also use descriptive parameters such as:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sector \u2013 Financial, Property, Mining, and Oil, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Price \u2013 Prices relative to stocks in the PSE<\/li>\n<li>Change Percentage \u2013 Price changes from its previous day\u2019s close<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The following examples highlight how a fundamental investor can utilize InvestaScreener:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Looking for undervalued companies? Here we\u2019ve easily found 42 companies that are deemed undervalued using the P\/E Ratio as a parameter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2567\" src=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2619\" height=\"1424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/1.jpg 2619w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/1-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/1-1024x557.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/1-770x420.jpg 770w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/1-610x332.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2619px) 100vw, 2619px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2568\" src=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2574\" height=\"1429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/2.jpg 2574w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/2-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/2-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/2-1024x568.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/2-610x339.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2574px) 100vw, 2574px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Investors can also mix it with other fundamental parameters accordingly with their strategy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2570\" src=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2621\" height=\"1427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/3.jpg 2621w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/3-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/3-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/3-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/3-770x420.jpg 770w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/3-610x332.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2621px) 100vw, 2621px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2571\" src=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2614\" height=\"1423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/4.jpg 2614w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/4-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/4-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/4-1024x557.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/4-770x420.jpg 770w, https:\/\/dailymedia.investagrams.com\/investadaily\/2019\/04\/4-610x332.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2614px) 100vw, 2614px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They could also filter the screener to only display a specific sector given other fundamental parameter they have entered.
