Screening Filters
Price: min $5, max $20
- Purpose: Find stocks you can buy at least one share of with your $20, while avoiding ultra‑cheap “penny stocks.”
- Rationale:
- Your budget per asset is $20, so a maximum price of $20 ensures each result costs $20 or less per share.
- The $5 minimum helps filter out many very low‑priced, highly speculative stocks that often come with higher risk and poor liquidity.
Market Cap: minimum $2,000,000,000 (large/sizable companies)
- Purpose: Focus on more established, relatively stable companies within your price range.
- Rationale:
- A $2B+ market cap generally excludes very small, thinly traded, or highly speculative companies.
- This aligns with someone looking to invest a small amount ($20) into more credible, mainstream names rather than micro‑caps.
Region: United States
- Purpose: Limit results to U.S. companies.
- Rationale:
- U.S. stocks are widely accessible on most brokerage platforms, especially for small-ticket investments like $20.
- It simplifies currency, regulatory, and information issues—useful for someone just trying to see what they can buy with a small amount.
Listed Exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American)
- Purpose: Include only stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges.
- Rationale:
- These exchanges have higher listing standards, better liquidity, and more reliable information.
- That makes sense when building a small starter position—you’re less likely to run into extreme spreads or trade execution issues.
P/E (TTM): min 5, max 30
- Purpose: Filter out many extremely overvalued or distressed companies based on earnings relative to price.
- Rationale:
- P/E < 5 can indicate distressed or highly cyclical businesses.
- P/E > 30 can indicate very high growth expectations or overvaluation.
- Keeping P/E between 5 and 30 focuses on companies with more “normal” valuations, which is a reasonable starting point for a small, value‑conscious purchase.
Analyst Consensus: Strong Buy, Moderate Buy
- Purpose: Prioritize companies that professional analysts currently view favorably.
- Rationale:
- With a small amount to invest, you likely want ideas that have at least some positive institutional backing.
- Limiting to “Strong Buy” and “Moderate Buy” tries to identify names where the Street expects relatively better performance versus the broader market.
Target Price Upside Potential: MoreAbovePrice, AbovePrice
- Purpose: Include only stocks where the consensus analyst target price is above the current market price.
- Rationale:
- This targets stocks analysts think are undervalued or have upside potential from here.
- It doesn’t guarantee gains, but it aligns with your implied goal of finding assets that might appreciate, not just anything under $20.
Why Results Match Your Question
- Your question is: “What financial assets can I buy with 20 dollars?” That’s very broad (could include stocks, ETFs, crypto, etc.). The screener narrows this down to U.S. exchange‑listed stocks priced at $20 or less per share, which you can buy at least one share of with $20.
- The additional filters (market cap, P/E range, analyst consensus, and upside potential) refine this to:
- Larger, established companies
- With more reasonable valuations
- That analysts currently like
- And that are trading below their consensus target price
So, rather than just showing any asset under $20, the filters aim to present higher‑quality, relatively accessible U.S. stocks you can afford with $20 and that have some support from fundamental and analyst data.
