What stocks have a small float?

Screening Filters

1. floating_shares ≤ 50,000,000

   • Purpose: To find stocks with a small public float (i.e., a relatively limited number of shares available for public trading).
   • Rationale:
     • “Small float” doesn’t have a strict universal cutoff, but many traders and analysts treat floats under roughly 50M shares as “low float” or “relatively tight supply.”
     • By setting max: 50,000,000, the screener excludes large‑float, highly liquid mega‑caps and focuses on companies where the trading supply is more constrained—what most people mean by “small float” stocks.

2. list_exchange: [XNYS, XNAS, XASE]

   • Purpose: To limit results to U.S.-listed stocks on major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale:
     • XNYS = New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
     • XNAS = NASDAQ
     • XASE = NYSE American (formerly AMEX)
     • Your question specifically asked for US stocks, so restricting to these U.S. exchanges ensures the results are U.S.-listed equities rather than foreign markets or OTC securities.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The float filter directly targets stocks with a relatively small number of tradable shares, aligning with your interest in “small float” names.
• The exchange filter narrows this universe to U.S.-listed stocks only, matching your requirement for “US stocks.”

Taken together, these filters are an appropriate and standard way to screen for U.S. stocks that currently have a small float.
