Step 2: Select Pre-Built Screen or Build Custom Criteria
From the top navigation bar, click on "Pre-Built Screens" to select tested strategies such as "Growth at a Discount", "High Dividend Yield", or "Capital Discipline Zero-Debt". Alternatively, choose "Custom Screen" to define your own thresholds.
# Pre-built templates automatically filter across 2,400+ NSE main-board and SME listings
Step 3: Configure Valuation and Profitability Ratios
Adjust the filter controls for core fundamental ratios. To isolate resilient businesses, set Return on Equity (ROE) >= 15%, Debt-to-Equity <= 0.5, and Price-to-Earnings (P/E) <= 25.
# Key ratios calculate directly from audited NEAPS quarterly XBRL corporate filings
Step 4: Filter by Nifty Sector and Market Capitalization
Refine your query universe using the Sector dropdown (e.g., Nifty Auto, Nifty Healthcare, Nifty IT, or Nifty Banking). You can also restrict candidates to Largecap, Midcap, or Smallcap segments.
# Sector categorization matches official Nifty indices classification standard
Step 5: Analyze Financial Statements and Corporate Announcements
Click on any ticker in the generated results table. The company overview drawer reveals trailing quarterly results, shareholding patterns (FII/DII trends), promoter pledging status, and recent board meeting announcements.
