Screening Filters

1. region: ['United States']

   • Purpose: Limit results to companies based in or listed in the United States.
   • Rationale: Block Inc. (ticker: SQ) is a U.S.-based company headquartered in San Francisco and is treated as a U.S. issuer for equity markets. By constraining the region to the United States, the screener focuses on the correct regulatory, reporting, and accounting environment (U.S. GAAP, SEC filings, etc.), which is essential for accurate financial analysis and comparability.

2. list_exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE']

   • Purpose: Restrict results to major U.S. stock exchanges:
     • XNYS – New York Stock Exchange
     • XNAS – NASDAQ
     • XASE – NYSE American (formerly AMEX)
   • Rationale: Block Inc. (SQ) is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (XNYS). Filtering to these primary exchanges ensures:
     • You capture SQ’s actual listing venue (XNYS), so the ticker, price history, and financial data all match the real, actively traded security.
     • You avoid irrelevant instruments such as OTC listings, foreign exchanges, or derivatives that might share similar names or tickers but are not the underlying U.S. equity.

Why Results Match:

• The U.S. region filter aligns with Block Inc.’s domicile, regulatory framework, and reporting standards, which is directly relevant when you’re asking for “financial analysis or information” on SQ.
• The exchange filter (XNYS, XNAS, XASE) specifically includes the exchange where SQ trades (XNYS), ensuring the screener pulls data on the correct Block Inc. common stock rather than any unrelated or secondary instruments.
