How the stock picker tool guides you to stocks that match your preferences

The Smart Filter asks about your investment horizon, the type of company you want, and which phase that company should be in. From those answers it constructs a filter profile automatically. You still have the option to adjust every parameter manually, but most investors never need to.

Horizon determines volatility tolerance

An investor holding for less than two years gets a different filter profile than someone building a 10-year position. Short horizons tighten the momentum and technical filters; long horizons weight free cash flow and margin expansion more heavily.

Company phase sets the growth criteria

A company in an early innovation phase is screened on revenue growth rate and market cap ceiling. A mature compounder is screened on return on equity, dividend consistency, and earnings stability. The tool adapts the criteria automatically.

Risk answer adjusts debt and volatility caps

If you select a conservative risk profile, the screener automatically excludes companies with a debt-to-equity ratio above 0.5 and a historical volatility above 40%. Aggressive profiles allow higher leverage if growth metrics justify it.

Use the stock picker tool with manual filters when you know exactly what you want

The manual filter mode gives you direct access to every criterion. You can combine conditions across all three filter categories simultaneously and see the result update live. There is no need to run the screen again after each adjustment.

P/E between 10 and 20 with revenue growth above 15%

This combination specifically targets companies that are not priced at growth-stock multiples but are still delivering meaningful expansion. The filter shows you who is growing without the market noticing yet.

Market cap below $2B, ROE above 15%, debt-to-equity below 0.3

A classic small-cap quality filter. Companies that meet all three criteria are rare, but when they appear they often represent genuinely overlooked opportunities rather than cheap stocks with obvious problems.

RSI below 40, price above 200-day moving average

A technical filter for investors looking to buy into short-term weakness within a longer-term uptrend. This combination reduces the risk of catching a falling knife while still finding discounted entry points.

How experienced investors use the stock picker tool

Five ways the screener changes how you approach stock research

Why filtering on P/E alone misses most of the picture

A low P/E ratio is often the first filter investors reach for, but in isolation it identifies two very different situations: genuinely undervalued companies and companies in structural decline. The stock picker tool lets you pair the P/E filter with a revenue trend condition. When you require both a P/E below 15 and revenue growth above 10% over the past three years, the decline candidates drop out immediately.

The free cash flow filter adds another layer. A company with a low P/E and growing revenue but deeply negative free cash flow may be burning through capital to fund that growth unsustainably. Adding a positive free cash flow condition to the same screen leaves you with a far smaller but far higher-quality shortlist.

This is the difference between using a screener as a starting point and using it as a genuine research tool. The combination logic in the stock picker tool makes multi-condition filtering the default rather than an advanced feature.

Market cap is not just a size label, it is a risk and return framework

Large-cap companies above $10B typically have lower volatility, more analyst coverage, and lower upside potential. Small caps below $2B tend to be less covered, more volatile, and occasionally capable of 10x returns over a decade. Micro caps below $300M operate in a different risk category entirely: liquidity is thin, information is scarce, and price swings can be extreme.

Most retail investors drift toward large caps by default because those are the companies they recognize. The stock picker tool makes it easy to deliberately explore mid and small cap territory using the same financial quality filters you would apply to any large cap. A small company with 20% revenue growth, an ROE of 18%, and minimal debt is objectively interesting regardless of its size.

The market cap filter in the tool also helps with portfolio concentration analysis. If your existing holdings are all large-cap US tech, filtering for small-cap European industrials gives you a quick way to identify diversification candidates.

Using momentum filters without chasing price

Momentum is a well-documented market phenomenon: stocks that have performed strongly over the past 6 to 12 months tend to continue outperforming for a further 3 to 6 months on average. But blindly following price momentum is one of the fastest ways to buy at a top. The stock picker tool lets you combine price momentum with fundamental conditions.

A practical example: filter for stocks within 5% of their 52-week high, with RSI between 55 and 70, and earnings growth above 20% in the last reported quarter. This combination targets companies where the price strength is being driven by genuine fundamental improvement rather than speculation. The RSI ceiling at 70 avoids the most overbought situations.

The BEA momentum signal in the tool adds a further layer: it identifies companies where both price momentum and earnings estimate revisions are moving in the same direction. When analysts are upgrading their forecasts at the same time as the share price is rising, that alignment is worth paying attention to.

Sector filters for concentration risk you might not know you have

Many individual investors are significantly overweight in technology without realizing it. Beyond the obvious holdings in Apple, Microsoft, or Nvidia, exposure to tech often comes through consumer platforms, payment processors, and even financial companies that now derive most of their value from software. A sector filter run across your watchlist can reveal this concentration clearly.

The stock picker tool covers all major GICS sectors and allows you to filter by country or region independently of sector. This is particularly useful when you want exposure to a specific macro theme: European energy companies benefiting from infrastructure investment, Asian healthcare companies growing into ageing demographics, or Latin American fintech serving the unbanked population.

Combining a sector filter with a valuation filter often reveals geographic divergences: the same sector can trade at a 40% valuation discount in one region compared to another, purely because of investor preference rather than fundamentals. The tool makes this visible.

Finding sustainable dividend payers, not just high yields

A dividend yield of 8% sounds attractive until you discover the company has paid out 140% of its earnings as dividends for three consecutive years. That payout ratio is unsustainable and the dividend is likely to be cut, taking the share price with it. The stock picker tool lets you filter on yield and payout ratio simultaneously.

A more reliable approach is to filter for companies with a dividend yield between 2.5% and 5%, a payout ratio below 60%, and at least five consecutive years of dividend growth. This criteria set finds companies that pay a meaningful but sustainable income, have the financial strength to grow that payment, and have already demonstrated the commitment to do so.

The tool's watchlist feature is particularly useful for dividend investors: you can track ex-dividend dates, upcoming earnings releases, and payout ratio trends across all your positions in one place, rather than maintaining a spreadsheet manually.

About Belegget

Belegget started from a simple frustration: the best stock research tools were either too expensive, too complex, or designed for institutional traders rather than individual investors. The stock picker tool was built to give individual investors the same structured approach to finding stocks that professionals use, without the Bloomberg terminal price tag.

The platform is independent. There are no brokerage partnerships, no commissions on trades, and no incentive to push any particular stock. The screener shows you what the data says.
