  2. 2

    Tune metrics and filters

    Weight what you care about. Filter out what you don't.

    Read a ranked list

    Every stock gets a 0–100 score you can open up and understand.

What you get

A look inside the app

These are real screens from Stock Meadow, so you know exactly what you're signing up for.

  1. Open any stock and see the whole picture

    Tap a stock to open its page: its overall score and rank, separate fundamental and trend scores, and about a year of prices charted against the 50- and 200-day averages.

    • Price, market cap and dollars traded per day
    • The dates of the latest price and financials, so you know how fresh they are
    A stock's detail panel: an overall score and rank, fundamental and trend scores, a one-year price chart with 50- and 200-day moving averages, and price, market cap and trading volume.
  2. Know exactly why it scored that way

    No black box. Each metric shows its own 0–100 score, the company's actual figure, the weight you gave it, and how many points it added.

    • Three risk checks on every stock: the Piotroski F-Score for financial strength, the Altman Z-Score for bankruptcy risk and the Beneish M-Score for earnings quality
    • A warning triangle marks stocks in the distress zone or with an earnings red flag, so you see it before you dig in
    A stock's score breakdown: each metric's 0–100 score, value, weight and points added, followed by Piotroski, Altman and Beneish risk checks with plain-language verdicts.
  3. Build the score you want

    Start with a style, then make it yours. Turn on any of the 29 scoring metrics and press βˆ’ or + to weight it from 1 to 10.

    • Each metric shows its share of the score, and how many stocks have data for it
    • Filter on any metric: below, above or between values, such as P/E below 20
    • Narrow the list by sector, market cap, share price and trading volume
    The screen builder: the Value style selected, with P/E weighted 3 (38% of the score) and EV/EBITDA weighted 2 (25%).
  4. Compare two models side by side

    Pick a second model and see where they agree: an agreement score, how many stocks make both top-20 lists, a chart of every stock under both, and a list of the biggest disagreements.

    Weighted ranking compared with the Magic Formula: agreement, top-20 overlap, stocks scored, and a scatter chart of every stock's score under each model.
  5. Or skip the scores and just screen

    Screen only turns Stock Meadow into a classic screener. Set your filters and get every matching stock in a sortable table, largest company first. Pick the columns yourself, or let a style choose them.

    Screen only mode: stocks with a P/E of 20 or less, with sector, market cap, price and valuation columns, largest company first.
  • Filters that read like English

    Switch on β€œP/E below 20” or β€œdividend yield above 3%”. Each filter shows as a chip you can remove in one tap.

  • Rank within each sector

    Compare banks with banks and software with software, so one cheap sector doesn't fill the whole list.

  • Save your screens

    Keep the screens you like, rename them, and come back to them from any device.

  • Works on your phone

    The full screener works on phones and tablets, in light or dark mode.

Scoring models

6 ways to score a stock

Use a classic from the investing books, or build your own. Every model gives each stock a score from 0 to 100, and you can switch between them at any time.

  • Weighted ranking

    Rank each metric 0–100, then blend with your weights

    Uses:
    The metrics and weights you choose
    Best for:
    Building your own recipe. All five styles start here.
    How it works
  • Z-score composite

    Like weighted ranking, but rewards how far ahead a stock is

    Uses:
    The metrics and weights you choose
    Best for:
    Rewarding real standouts, not stocks that only edge ahead.
    How it works
  • Balanced (no weak link)

    Favours stocks that are solid in every area you score

    Uses:
    The metrics and weights you choose
    Best for:
    Avoiding lopsided picks, such as a cheap stock of poor quality.
    How it works
  • Magic Formula

    Joel Greenblatt's good companies at good prices

    Uses:
    Earnings yield and return on invested capital
    Best for:
    A simple, rules-based value strategy from The Little Book That Beats the Market.
    How it works
  • Piotroski F-Score

    Nine pass/fail tests of financial strength

    Uses:
    Nine pass/fail tests on the last two years of accounts
    Best for:
    Checking financial strength, especially among cheap stocks.
    How it works
  • Income (dividends)

    Generous, growing and well-covered dividends

    Uses:
    Dividend yield, dividend growth, payout ratio and free-cash-flow cover
    Best for:
    Income that's generous today and likely to keep growing.
    How it works

Questions

Good to know

Who is Stock Meadow for?
Individual investors who want a shortlist of stocks to research, ranked by rules they chose and can see.
Does it cost anything?
Not during the preview. Stock Meadow is free while it's invite-only, and we never ask for a card. If paid plans come later, you'll hear from us before anything changes.
How does a stock get its score?
Each model turns company figures, such as valuation, profitability, growth and debt, into a score from 0 to 100. The scoring guide explains every model and metric in plain language.
How fresh is the data?
Prices and company figures are updated each weekday evening, after the US market closes. Stock Meadow doesn't show live prices during the trading day.
How do I get in?
Stock Meadow is invite-only for now. Request access below, and we'll email you when your invite is ready. You then sign in with that email address, using a one-time code. There's no password to remember.
How do I contact you?
Email hello@stockmeadow.com. A real person (and occasionally a cow) reads every message.
Who's the cow?
That's Moolah, our resident grazer. She chews on the numbers so you don't have to, but she's still a cow, so she can't tell you what to buy.
Is this investment advice?
No. Stock Meadow is a research tool. Scores summarise past financial data and can't predict returns, so always do your own research.
