Screening for Candidates
A screener narrows the universe — it does not pick winners.
In Simple Words
A stock screener lets you filter and sort companies by criteria like price change, volume, valuation or growth. It narrows hundreds of companies down to a handful worth researching — it does not tell you which will rise.
Why It Matters
Screening saves time and applies consistent rules instead of guessing.
How to Use It in Warifin
- 1Open the Africa Intelligence screener.
- 2Choose filters (e.g. price change, volume, sector).
- 3Sort results by a metric that matters to you.
- 4Pick a few candidates for deeper research.
How to Interpret It
If a screen returns 40 results, narrow further. If it returns zero, relax a filter. The goal is a manageable research list, not a buy list.
Beginner Mistakes
- Treating screener results as buy recommendations.
- Using only one filter and expecting insight.
Try It Yourself
