No strategy yet? Good. Start with a ready-made one.
You define what matters to you in a company. StockScorer checks every night which stocks meet it. Nothing more, and that is the point: nobody tells you what to buy. You learn to judge it yourself, with numbers you can look up. This page walks you through three steps, the first two without an account.
- Three steps, two without an account
- Real data
Type a name or ticker. You land on the stock's public page with score, categories and metrics.
ASML Holding N.V. ASML.AS
- +2Free cash flow yield greater than sector medianmet
- +2Return on capital (Greenblatt) greater than sector medianmet
- +1Return on Equity greater than sector medianmet
- ExclusionExclusion: financial and real estate stocksnot met
More than 2,000 stocks have a public page. Further metrics per stock come with an account.
Three steps from watching to your own judgement
Nothing to study first. Each step shows you something concrete, and only the third one needs an account.
- Look at a stock you know
Type the name into the search field. On the stock's page you see how many rules of a ready-made rule set it meets, where it is strong and which metrics sit behind that. All real, all without signing in.
- Try a ready-made rule set on the Dow Jones
In guest mode a simple four-rule set runs across the 30 Dow Jones stocks. Move a threshold and see immediately who is left. You cannot break anything, and nothing about you is stored.
- If you like it: create an account
Then your rule set runs every night across the stocks of the Germany 40, S&P 500 and four more lists, you get every metric, watchlists and the library of documented strategies. Free, no payment details and no time limit.
Rather play first? Guess the stock from its metrics.
The daily puzzle narrows a stock down by sector, region, size and valuation. Free, no account, and along the way you learn how metrics relate.
Four metrics are enough to begin
These four are exactly what the guest mode rule set uses. What each one means, in a sentence. The glossary explains the rest whenever you need it.
- ROE
Return on equity
How much profit a company makes from its owners' money. High means the business works efficiently.
Example: ASML Holding N.V.61.1%Sector median16.7%
Read in the glossary - P/E
Price-to-earnings ratio
How many dollars the market asks for one dollar of annual profit. Low means cheaply valued, or the market does not trust the profit.
Example: ASML Holding N.V.38.1Sector median30.0
Read in the glossary - D/E
Debt-to-equity ratio
How much borrowed money sits on every dollar of equity. Low means the company depends less on its lenders.
Example: ASML Holding N.V.0.09Sector median0.39
Read in the glossary - Div.
Dividend yield
What percentage of the share price the company last paid out to shareholders. Counts only what was paid, not what was promised.
Example: ASML Holding N.V.0.6%Sector median1.4%
Read in the glossary
One metric on its own says little. The rule set combines the four with thresholds and weights, and that is exactly what you can change in guest mode.
What the tool does not do, and why that is good for you
StockScorer gives no tips, no signals and no model portfolios to copy. At first that sounds like less. It is the opposite: a tip you do not understand makes you dependent on the next person with a tip. A rule set you defined yourself you can check, adjust and keep.
That is why results are called high, medium or low match. A match with whose rules? With yours. At the start they are the rules of a ready-made template, later your own.
Who is behind it
StockScorer is built by one person in Germany and funded solely by user subscriptions. No broker in the background, no commission for referred accounts, no paid placements. The metrics come from the data provider leeway.tech and are checked for plausibility every night, but not collected by us.
How a score is calculated in detail is on the methodology page. What the tool explicitly is not has a page of its own.

The four metrics from guest mode
What beginners want to know first
The questions beginners ask us most often, answered directly.
Do I need to understand every metric before I start?
No. The four above are enough for guest mode, and you do not even need to memorise them: every rule shows what it checks when you click it. Everything else you learn the moment you need it, in the glossary.
What does it cost, and what happens after the trial?
Guest mode and the public stock pages cost nothing and need no account. An account is free, without payment details, and starts with a full-access trial. After that Basic continues: screener, scores and library stay usable, with quotas on profiles and watchlists and 2 credits per month for backtests. Plus (every index, 10 credits per month) and Premium (600 credits per month for analyses) are optional, cancellable monthly on a monthly plan.
Is this investment advice?
No. StockScorer is an analysis tool for your own research. A score says how many of your rules a stock meets. It is not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell securities. What you make of it is your decision.
Can I break anything in guest mode?
No. Guest mode runs entirely in your browser, nothing is stored, nothing is sent to a server. Close the tab and it is gone. Changing rules, moving thresholds, creating a watchlist: all allowed.
Why does the tool not simply tell me what to buy?
Because, first, that would be investment advice, which we do not offer, and second, it would not help: a tip without reasoning is a tip without reasoning again next time. A rule set you understand stays with you, whichever stock is up next.
What can guest mode do, and what is only available with an account?
Guest mode shows the stocks of the Dow Jones with all metrics, prices, scores and rules. You can try out rules, move thresholds and create watchlists. Backtest (costs credits) and portfolios come with a free account, along with the base universe of six lists: Germany 40, Germany Mid 50, Germany Small 70, Eurozone 50, S&P 500 and NASDAQ-100. The full stock universe comes with Plus or Premium.
Not investment advice. StockScorer is an information and analysis tool. Scores reflect rule-based criteria and are not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell securities.
