Markets

Pick your markets from which to select stocks. For example Helsinki, Oslo and Stockholm. The report will show stocks that fit your criteria from all three markets, and you may get even better stocks than if you select from one market only.

It can be difficult to find very good candidates in smaller markets when the Exchange is weak or has moved sideways for some time. Multiple markets increase the chance of finding good stocks.

Sectors

The report contains all kinds of companies, regardless of sector or industry. However, you can set sectors like Finance or Energy, or more detailed industries like Insurance or Oil drilling. The report will show only stocks within these sectors that also fit your other criteria.

Combining Markets and Sectors can for instance give ranked lists of the best bank stocks in the Nordic countries.

Other criteria

General criteria are used to set size, liquidity and volatility of the companies you are looking for. Technical criteria show investor behaviour and the development of optimism in the stocks, interpreted through the stocks' price charts. Technical criteria can be useful as a timing tool. Financial criteria cover company valuation. Financial criteria can be useful in finding stocks that are cheap based on key ratios.
