Frequently asked questions
Short answers about the data and how to read it. The about page explains the method in more detail.
What is Screener by Innerkore?
Screener by Innerkore is a free stock screener and research tool for companies listed on India's NSE and BSE. It computes more than 400 metrics for every company from the exchanges' own filings and end-of-day price files, and lets you screen, compare, chart and backtest them.
Which companies does it cover?
Every company listed on NSE or BSE, including companies listed only on BSE. The Data coverage page shows, from the live database, how many companies have prices, financial statements and shareholding data, and what share of companies each metric covers. Some metrics cannot apply to every company: bank metrics exist only for banks, and recently listed companies have short histories.
Where does the data come from?
Financial results and shareholding patterns come from the XBRL filings that NSE and BSE publish (for older periods and where XBRL is missing, from the results documents themselves). Prices come from the exchanges' end-of-day files, adjusted for splits and bonus issues using the exchanges' corporate-action records. Announcements are the exchanges' own filings.
How often is the data updated?
A pipeline runs every night. New results and shareholding filings are read, metrics are recomputed for every company and the site's data is rebuilt. Prices are end-of-day: the page shows the date of the latest close, not a live quote.
Are the prices live?
No. Prices are end-of-day closes from the last trading session, shown with their date. The site is for research, not for trading on intraday moves.
What is the difference between consolidated and standalone figures?
Consolidated statements combine a company with its subsidiaries; standalone statements cover the company alone. Pages show consolidated figures by default. Where a company's consolidated history is short (three years or fewer) and its standalone history is long (six years or more), the standalone series is used so that growth rates and averages have enough history, and the page says so.
How are the ratios calculated?
Each metric has a published formula, shown on the Metrics page and in the metric's tooltip. Trailing-twelve-month (TTM) figures sum the last four reported quarters. Growth rates (CAGR) compare the latest financial year with the year three or five years earlier. Percentile ranks compare a company with others in its industry group.
What does a blank value mean?
The metric does not apply to that company or there is not enough data to compute it reliably. The site shows a blank instead of a zero or an estimate. Accounts older than about eighteen months are treated as stale and their statement-based metrics are left blank.
Can I build my own screen?
Yes. Use the condition builder or type a query such as pe < 20 and roe_fy > 15 and debt_to_equity < 0.5, choose the columns to show and sort by any metric. Signing in lets you save screens, create formulas, keep watchlists and a portfolio, and get alerts.
What is the AI brief on a company page?
A short summary of the company written by an AI model from the numbers on the page. Every sentence cites the facts behind it, and a sentence is removed if its numbers cannot be matched to those facts. It can still be wrong or incomplete, so check the figures and the filings it points to.
Is this investment advice?
No. Nothing on this site is investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. The data can contain errors or be out of date. Check the original filings and consult a qualified adviser before making decisions.
Do I need an account?
No. Screening, company pages, sectors, comparisons, backtests and the metrics reference work without signing in. An account is needed to save screens and formulas, keep watchlists and portfolios and receive alerts.
