Contrarian Turnaround: Free Special Stock Screen
Quality companies at depressed levels. That is the whole idea behind the Contrarian Turnaround screen, one of 130 ready-made strategies built into Stock Sight Finance. It checks all 4 rules below against every one of the 6,700+ US-listed stocks on Nasdaq and NYSE on this site and returns each match on live intraday quotes free of charge, with no sign-up required.
What this screen filters for
- Trailing P/E rule: P/E ratio of 18 or lower, keeps valuations grounded, so you pay a reasonable price for each dollar of earnings.
- Price-to-book rule: Price-to-book of 1 or higher, screens out prices so far below the account value of the assets that the market is pricing in real trouble.
- % of 52-week high rule: trading at 20% or more of its 52-week high, sitting near the top of its yearly range shows the stock is still in demand.
- % of 52-week high rule: trading at 55% or less of its 52-week high, buying well below the yearly high leaves room for a recovery to play out.
How to use the Contrarian Turnaround screen
Results appear the moment the screen runs, sorted by market cap by default. Click any column header to re-sort them. Open the manual filter controls to loosen a threshold, drop a rule and re-run; each criterion above maps to a real filter, so you can turn this preset into your own variant and copy the share link to save it. Click any symbol to open its full analysis page with price history, valuation and news.
Who special screens are for
Special screens are one-off ideas, themes that do not fit a neat factor family: penny stocks, beaten-down names, odd lots. They are the most willing to trade against the crowd, which widens the gap between a bargain and a broken business. Do the extra reading before acting on any of them.
What this screen does not tell you
A screen narrows the field. It does not judge the business. Clearing every rule above means the numbers fit this strategy rather than that the stock will rise: check why a company is cheap, read its filings, and size anything you buy accordingly. This is research tooling. It is not investment advice.
