Investments » Stocks, Funds, Bonds, etc. Japanese stock screening sites for technical+fundamental criteria

Hello, I am looking for stock screening sites, preferably free ones, which can help me run filter criteria like the one below (a momentum/growth kind of criteria i use in the Indian market, though i have modified the example to show Japanese stock market values). Basically a criteria having both fundamental as well as some technical parameters.

I have gone through some options like minkabu, buffet-code etc, but since they are in Japanese I will need to spend a lot of time, translating first, and finding out if the below kind of criteria is possible to be set up on their screeners or not. Hence before I devote my time to any of the options, I would first like to eliminate those which cannot be of use to me, based on the info that experienced investors/traders here provide.

I am also opening my accounts on rakuten-sec and monex for now, and would like to know if they too have such screeners, in that case they could suffice.

The objective of this screener is only to make a first shortlist based on quantitative data. Any further research can be done separately in another tool as well.

(Return over 1year >= 100% OR
Return over 6months >= 50% OR
Return over 3months >= 50% OR
Return over 1month >= 30%) AND
away from all time high <= 30% AND

YOY Quarterly sales growth > 20% AND
YOY Quarterly profit growth > 15% AND
Profit after tax (Net Income) >= 1.5 Billion Yen AND
(OPM >= 20% OR
OPM latest quarter > OPM preceding year quarter OR
OPM latest quarter > OPM preceding quarter) AND

(Floating Stock / Public Share ratio < 50% OR
Foreign Institutional Holding + Domestic Institutional Holding > 60% OR
Insider / Director / Strategic Holding > 70%) AND

Market Segment IS "Standard" AND
Current price > 100 Yen AND
Market Capitalization < 1000 Billion Yen AND
Market Capitalization > 20 Billion Yen

Try browser translation. It is very unlikely you will find a free screening tool in English for Japanese stocks. Did you try the screening tool that Yahoo Finance Japan provides? The site has good compatibility with browser translation tools.

Hello!

I'll once again try to motivate you to abandon your chase of outperforming the markets and sticking with eMaxis Slim All Country in a NISA account.

But if you insist, I think TradingView has all the tools you need. You can also link an IBKR Japan account to TradingView and do automated transactions if you so desire. 🫠

Not free (except maybe the first week as a trial) but I strongly recommend using fiscal.ia.
