We are pleased to announce you can now screen from your user portfolios with the All-in-One Guru Screener.
You will now notice we have added a new item below the “Stocks” filter underneath the “Fundamental” tab: “Load From Portfolio.” Figure 1 illustrates the location of this filter.

First, please create a portfolio using our My Portfolios feature. The portfolio can contain stocks and exchange-traded funds. You can select the “universe of stocks” for the screener by selecting the desired user portfolio from the drop-down menu. Figure 2 shows a sample screenshot illustrating this.

For example, let us consider “Portfolio 2017,” which contains companies I have discussed in my articles this year. You can screen for companies from this portfolio that meet five simple criteria for good companies:
- A GuruFocus Business Predictability Rank of at least four stars.
- A Piotroski F-score of at least 7.
- A 10-year revenue growth rate and a 10-year EPS growth rate between 5% and 20%.
- An operating margin growth rate of at least 2%.
- A gross margin of at least 40%.
Three companies, Comcast Corp. (CMCSA, Financial), Jack Henry & Associates Inc. (JKHY, Financial) and Rollins Inc. (ROL, Financial) made the “Good Companies 2017” Screener. Based on backtesting results, the model portfolio gained 213.28% from January 2007 to January 2017, outperforming the S&P 500 benchmark by approximately 150%.
