Learn the Screener through a structured overview and interactive knowledge test
The Finmagine Screener is a fundamental screener for NSE-listed stocks — not a price-chart scanner. It works by querying the Intelligence Engine's pre-computed ratio classifications. Every company in the database has been assigned an Excellent / Good / Average / Poor grade and an Improving / Stable / Declining trend for up to 33 financial ratios. The Screener lets you combine those classifications as conditions to find companies that meet your investment criteria across the full 1,269+ stock universe.
The Screener does not work with raw ratio values. Instead, the Intelligence Engine pre-computes a classification for every ratio of every company: one of four tiers.
The thresholds vary by ratio. For ROCE, "Excellent" means a very high return on capital; for D/E, "Excellent" means very low debt relative to equity. The classification is ratio-specific and built from the distribution across the full stock universe — so "Excellent ROCE" means excellent relative to all Indian listed companies, not just within a sector.
In addition to classification, each ratio has a trend — the direction of change over the past several reporting periods:
Click any preset card to instantly load a proven filter combination. The screen runs immediately — no configuration required. You can then add extra filters (Sector, MCap) on top of a preset or modify the conditions in the filter builder.
Click + Add Condition to open a filter row. Each row has three controls:
Add multiple rows with + Add Condition. Each row is combined with AND logic — the company must satisfy every condition to appear in results. Click × on any row to remove it. Click Clear all to reset.
Tick this to restrict results to companies whose ratio data has been updated within the last 90 days. This is useful when you want to ensure the financial data underpinning the classifications is current — for example, filtering out companies that have delayed quarterly filings or have stale ratio entries in the engine.
| Category | Ratio | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| PROFITABILITY | ||
| ROCE | Return on Capital Employed — profit generated per rupee of total capital deployed | |
| ROE | Return on Equity — profit generated per rupee of shareholders' equity | |
| Operating Margin (OPM) | Operating profit as % of revenue — core business profitability before interest and tax | |
| Net Profit Margin (NPM) | Net profit as % of revenue — bottom-line profitability after all costs | |
| EBITDA Margin | EBITDA as % of revenue — cash operating profitability | |
| CFO / PAT (Cash Conversion) | Operating cash flow as a ratio of reported profit — measures earnings quality | |
| LEVERAGE | ||
| Debt / Equity (D/E) | Total debt relative to shareholders' equity — financial leverage | |
| Interest Coverage | EBIT / Interest expense — ability to service debt from operating profit | |
| Debt / EBITDA | Years of EBITDA needed to repay total debt | |
| Net Debt / EBITDA | Same as Debt/EBITDA but uses net debt (debt minus cash) | |
| Net Debt / Equity | Net debt relative to equity | |
| Debt / Assets | Proportion of total assets funded by debt | |
| LIQUIDITY | ||
| Current Ratio | Current assets / current liabilities — short-term solvency | |
| Quick Ratio | Liquid assets / current liabilities — excludes inventory | |
| Cash Ratio | Cash only / current liabilities — the most conservative liquidity measure | |
| GROWTH | ||
| Revenue Growth (CAGR) | Compounded annual revenue growth — topline expansion | |
| PAT Growth (CAGR) | Compounded annual profit after tax growth — earnings expansion | |
| EBITDA Growth (CAGR) | Compounded annual EBITDA growth — cash earnings expansion | |
| EFFICIENCY | ||
| Asset Turnover | Revenue generated per rupee of total assets | |
| Inventory Turnover | How many times inventory is sold and replaced in a year | |
| Receivables Turnover | How quickly a company collects payments from customers | |
| Fixed Asset Turnover | Revenue generated per rupee of fixed assets (PP&E) | |
| Capital Employed Turnover | Revenue relative to capital employed | |
| Debtor Days | Average days to collect a receivable | |
| Inventory Days | Average days inventory is held before sale | |
| Payable Days | Average days to pay suppliers | |
| Working Capital Cycle | Debtor Days + Inventory Days − Payable Days — cash conversion cycle | |
| Capex / Depreciation | Reinvestment rate — >1 means investing more than the asset base is depreciating | |
| Plant & Equipment Turnover | Revenue generated per rupee of plant and equipment | |
The Extra Filters strip below the custom filter builder lets you further narrow or organise results without adding ratio conditions:
| Filter | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Sector | Restrict results to a single sector (e.g. Pharmaceuticals, Financial Services, Consumer Goods). Use this when you already know the sector you want to invest in. |
| Sub-Sector | Further narrowing within a sector (e.g. within Pharmaceuticals: API manufacturers, formulations, hospitals). More specific than sector alone. |
| MCap Min (₹ Cr) | Set a minimum market cap floor. Common values: ₹500 Cr (eliminate micro-caps), ₹5,000 Cr (mid-cap and above), ₹25,000 Cr (large-cap only). |
| MCap Max (₹ Cr) | Set a maximum market cap ceiling. Use to focus on small or mid-cap opportunities (e.g. max ₹10,000 Cr for small-cap screens). |
| Sort By | Order results by: Market Cap, ROCE, ROE, OPM %, Sales Growth, D/E, P/E, or Company Name. |
| Order | High → Low (default, shows best values first) or Low → High (useful for D/E and P/E where lower is often better). |
Every screen — preset or custom — applies a baseline quality filter that cannot be turned off:
This floor prevents the screener from surfacing genuinely poor-quality businesses even when a user has not set those criteria manually. It is the reason you may sometimes get fewer results than expected — a company that passes your ratio conditions but fails the quality floor is excluded.

| Tier | Max Results |
|---|---|
| Guest / Free | 20 results per screen |
| Premium | 200 results per screen |
For many screens, 20 results is enough — Quality Compounders typically returns 30–50 companies and the top 20 by ROCE are already the cream. But for broader screens like Growth Accelerators or Momentum Movers where the universe is larger, Premium unlocks the full depth.
