Best AI Stock Screener

Shibui Finance is a free AI stock screener you run by talking to Claude. Instead of picking from preset dropdown filters, you describe what you want in plain English, and Claude writes a query that checks your conditions across nearly 10,000 US stocks and 64 years of data. That includes historical screening back to 1962 and conditions a traditional screener cannot express, like a metric that has to hold in every quarter for five years rather than just in the latest one.

What an AI stock screener does differently

A traditional screener gives you preset dropdown filters on current values. You pick from a fixed menu, and every filter looks at the latest number. An AI stock screener takes a plain-English description and turns it into a query. Two things change: you are not limited to a preset menu, and you can ask about how a number behaved over time, not just where it sits today.

See it screen across time

Here is a screen a dropdown cannot express: companies whose revenue grew more than 20% year over year in every one of the last four quarters, not just the most recent one. Figures are from June 2026.

Large caps with 20%+ YoY revenue growth, four quarters running:

Ticker  Company           4 qtrs ago   3 ago   2 ago   Latest
──────  ────────────────  ──────────  ──────  ──────  ──────
NVDA    NVIDIA                  +56%    +62%    +73%    +85%
AVGO    Broadcom                +22%    +28%    +29%    +48%
META    Meta Platforms          +22%    +26%    +24%    +33%
LLY     Eli Lilly               +38%    +54%    +43%    +56%
PLTR    Palantir                +48%    +63%    +70%    +85%
ANET    Arista Networks         +30%    +27%    +29%    +35%

Every name cleared 20% in all four quarters, not just the last one.

A preset screener filters on the latest quarter only, so it cannot tell a one-quarter pop from four quarters of steady acceleration. This screen reads every period and keeps the names that held the line in all of them.

Combine technical and fundamental in one screen

The other thing a single tool rarely does is mix a price signal with the financials. Here is one request that does both: large, profitable, low-debt companies that are also oversold right now.

Oversold, profitable, low-debt large caps (RSI under 30):

Ticker  Company             RSI   Net margin   Debt/Equity
──────  ──────────────────  ────  ──────────  ───────────
TRMB    Trimble             27.1      12.4%          0.25
NFLX    Netflix             29.0      28.5%          0.46
BSX     Boston Scientific   29.1      17.3%          0.43
ADBE    Adobe               29.4      29.5%          0.58

A technical filter (RSI) and two fundamental filters (margin, debt) in one
pass. Net margin is trailing twelve months.

RSI lives in a charting tool and margins live in a screener, so checking both usually means two tabs and a manual cross-reference. Here it is one question. The guide to screening stocks with AI walks through how to phrase screens like these.

How it compares to a traditional screener

A preset screener is faster when the question is a simple present-tense filter, like "P/E under 15 and dividend yield over 3%." The AI approach earns its keep when the condition spans time, mixes data types, or is something no dropdown can express.

For a side-by-side on specific tools, see Shibui vs Finviz and Shibui vs TradingView. If you screen for Shariah compliance, the halal stock screener applies the same plain-English approach to the AAOIFI ratios. For technical pattern screening, see the VCP screener for Mark Minervini's volatility contraction pattern and the Darvas box screener for box breakout setups.

How AI stock screeners compare in 2026

"AI stock screener" covers two different kinds of tool. Rating engines score every stock with a proprietary number and let you sort by it: Danelfin assigns an AI Score (1-10) for three-month outperformance, WallStreetZen's Zen Ratings grade stocks A-F across factors, Kavout has its Kai Score, and Seeking Alpha's Quant Ratings score on value, growth, profitability, and momentum. Natural-language tools let you ask in plain English instead: Magnifi answers investing questions and suggests funds and stocks, and Shibui Finance turns your request into a query over 64 years of US data.

Shibui sits in the natural-language camp, but unlike a search assistant it is built for screening the whole market and across time: you describe criteria no preset menu can express - a metric that held every quarter for five years, or a technical and a fundamental filter in one pass - and you get the matching stocks, the underlying numbers, and the query that produced them, so you can check the logic.

Where Shibui is not the answer: if you want the tool to tell you what to buy, a rating engine like Danelfin or Zen Ratings gives you a single score or grade per stock. Shibui deliberately does not score or rank stocks for you - it returns the data and leaves the judgment to you. It also needs a Claude account and has no standalone visual interface.

Questions

What is the best AI stock screener?

It depends on what you need. Danelfin and Zen Ratings are best for AI-generated stock scores with backtested track records. Shibui Finance is best when you want to screen in plain English, combine technical and fundamental conditions, or screen on how a number behaved over time, such as a margin that stayed above a threshold in every quarter for five years. Traditional screeners like Finviz and TradingView are faster for a simple filter on current values. Many investors use both.

Is there a free AI stock screener?

Shibui Finance is a free AI stock screener. You connect it to Claude once (the free Claude plan works) and screen nearly 10,000 US stocks in plain English. There is no separate subscription; you only need a Claude account.

Can AI screen stocks using plain English?

Yes. With Shibui Finance you describe what you want in a sentence and Claude translates it into a query against a database of 64 years of US market data. You do not pick from preset dropdown filters or write any SQL yourself, though you can read the query Claude runs and check its logic.

How is an AI stock screener different from Finviz?

Finviz filters on current values using preset dropdown filters. An AI stock screener takes a plain-English description, so it is not limited to a fixed menu and can check multi-period conditions, like free cash flow growing every year for five years. Finviz is faster for a simple present-tense screen; the AI approach handles conditions Finviz cannot express.

Is an AI stock screener the same as an AI stock picker?

Not quite. An AI stock picker or rating engine, such as Danelfin or Zen Ratings, scores each stock and tells you which ones look attractive. An AI stock screener like Shibui Finance takes a plain-English description and returns the stocks that match your criteria, with the data and the query - it finds stocks on your terms rather than scoring them for you. Pickers answer "what should I buy?"; screeners answer "which stocks meet these conditions?"
