If you invest in European stocks and you've tried to build a screening workflow, you already know the problem. You open Finviz and it doesn't have the stock. You open TradingView and the fundamental data is incomplete. You try Morningstar and it's slow, expensive, and designed for funds. You Google "European stock screener" and find six tools that each cover 200 stocks across three countries.
The gap is real. And it's been real for years.
This is the problem we built ScreenerHero to solve.
Why every existing screener fails European investors
The leading screeners were designed for US markets. This isn't an accident — the US equity market is the largest, most liquid, and most traded in the world. Building for it first is rational product development.
The problem is that the architecture of these tools doesn't scale well to European markets, and the business case for fixing that is weak when your audience is primarily US investors.
Finviz covers approximately 8,000–10,000 stocks, nearly all US-listed. European companies appear only as US ADRs or cross-listings. Native listings on XETRA, Euronext Paris, BME, Borsa Italiana, the Nordic exchanges, Warsaw, Vienna — absent.
TradingView has better coverage in principle: it indexes European exchanges. But its screener's fundamental data for European stocks is inconsistent, particularly below large-cap. Filter on operating margin for mid-cap Swedish companies and you'll get empty fields. It's a charting tool that added a screener, not a screener built for serious fundamental analysis.
Stock Rover has excellent fundamental depth — but only for US-listed stocks. 650+ metrics, all on companies from NYSE and Nasdaq.
Morningstar has European data but the screener is slow, the interface is designed for fund managers, and the pricing reflects that.
The pattern is consistent: European investors are either an afterthought or an upsell.
What "European coverage" actually requires
Coverage isn't just having a ticker. A screener that covers European stocks needs to:
Index the full market, not just the index. The DAX has 40 companies. XETRA lists thousands. The CAC 40 is 40 stocks out of thousands on Euronext Paris. The opportunity set for a systematic investor is in the mid and small caps, not the benchmark constituents. A screener that covers only index components isn't covering the market.
Have usable fundamental data. P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA, revenue growth, operating margin, net margin, debt/equity, dividend yield — these need to be populated, not empty. Empty fields don't filter. A screener with 70% null values for European fundamentals isn't a European screener.
Apply filters consistently. If you set P/E below 15 and operating margin above 10%, every stock in the result set should actually meet those criteria. Mixed currencies, inconsistent reporting periods, and incomplete data create results that look plausible but aren't.
Cover the exchanges investors actually use. Not just Germany and France. Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Austria, Switzerland — European investors have exposure across all of these markets and need screening tools that reach them.
What we built
ScreenerHero covers 17,000+ stocks across the US, Canada, and European markets — including XETRA, Euronext Paris, BME, and Borsa Italiana — with the same fundamental filters applied consistently across all of them.
The experience is deliberately modeled on what Finviz does well: a dense table of stocks, instant filter application, sortable columns, a heatmap view. The difference is that the universe extends to European exchanges, not just US-listed stocks.
The screener works like this:
You set filters — P/E range, minimum dividend yield, debt/equity cap, revenue growth floor — and the table updates instantly. Every result has data populated. You sort by EV/EBITDA and get a ranked list of the cheapest qualifying companies across all covered European markets. You click a name and see its full fundamental profile.
The heatmap works like this:
You see the market — by country, by sector, by performance — in a single view. Which German industrials are down today? Which French consumer staples are outperforming? How does the European picture compare to US sectors today? This orientation view, extended to European markets, doesn't exist in any of the major tools. We built it.
Saved screens work like this:
You save a screen with your criteria and return to it the next day. The results have updated with fresh data. You don't rebuild the screen from scratch. Systematic screening requires repeatability, not one-off exploration.
The investors this is built for
ScreenerHero isn't designed for investors who check one or two European stocks occasionally. It's designed for investors who treat European markets as a primary investment universe and need a professional-grade screening workflow.
That includes:
- European retail investors who want systematic exposure to their home markets
- International investors adding European allocation to a broader portfolio
- Value and dividend investors who know the opportunity is in mid and small caps that US-centric tools ignore
- Anyone who has spent time trying to make Finviz work for European stocks and knows firsthand why it doesn't
If you've been patching together a workflow across four tools because no single screener covers European markets properly, that's what we're here to fix.
The gap is real. We built something to fill it.
