Presets and rules
Each preset is the exact CleverScan rule this page runs on the latest published daily session. NYSE and Nasdaq stocks: Stocks listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq in the published dataset. Funds are excluded, and so are preferred shares, exchange-traded notes and debentures, warrants, rights and blank-check acquisition companies, by name.

What this screen measures
Share price and market capitalization answer different questions. The default selects NYSE and Nasdaq stocks closing under $10. Capitalization variants use their explicit dollar boundaries rather than treating a low share price as a small company.
Read the rule with a worked example
A hypothetical company with 2 billion shares at $5 has a $10 billion capitalization. Another with 10 million shares at $100 has a $1 billion capitalization. The lower-priced share belongs to the larger company. These arithmetic examples are not actual issuer values.
Choose the variant that matches the question
Under-$5, under-$20 and bounded-price variants preserve their own strict or inclusive operators. Small-cap is $300 million to under $2 billion; mid-cap is $2 billion to under $10 billion; large-cap begins at $10 billion in these presets.
Review the chart behind a match
Review volume, spreads and share-count context, then inspect the business and daily chart. A split changes the number of shares and their quoted price without mechanically changing company value. Market capitalization also differs from a fund’s assets under management.
Keep the interpretation within the rule
A low price is not a valuation conclusion, and liquidity cannot be inferred from capitalization alone. The named cap ranges are screening conventions. Preferred shares and funds do not belong in the same company-common-stock comparison.
