Hello, I regularly use screeners to find new stocks to dive deeper on. Some of the first things I look at are the last 5-10 years of earnings, profit, equity & debt. And I end up spending a lot of time looking up and then filtering out companies that looked promising based on their current financial data. Does anyone know of a screener that allows you to screen using historical fundamental/financial data? Ideally for the US & Europe. Thanks
https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/?product=compustat-research-insight will let you go back to see what the fundamentals are on any day in the past.
Thanks for your answer, but that's not quite what I mean. I'm looking for something like this: https://www.tradingview.com/screener/ but with filters for the previous years profit, earnings, etc.
Historical fundamentals are all fine and dandy until the company does silly things like share buybacks, mergers, spinoffs, creates/removes share classes or, heaven forbid, restates financials for historical fiscal years. Expect quite a few restatements soon!
For serious work and analysis you could buy/download the data and do your own filtering and analysis. https://www.quandl.com/databases/SF1/documentation
