Yahoo Stock Screener not returning any results?

Question

Is anyone having a problem with the Yahoo Java stock screener? I have been using it for a couple of months and it has worked fine up until this Monday. When I type in my criteria it returns 0 results. No matter what type of criteria I type in it always returns 0 results. I have been using it for months so I am confident that I know what I am doing. Any advice? Thanks.

Answer 1

I have been using yahoo screener for years and recently have encountered the same problem. I don't get any screener results. I hope yahoo fixes this problem soon.

Answer 2

I've experienced the same thing this week...no matter what I try, I always get 0 results.  I use the Yahoo Stock Screener every week and this past Sunday (June 8) is when it stopped working for me.  I logged this bug with Yahoo but they haven't been able to solve this issue.

Answer 3

Pick one search criterion and set a low value, like P/E greater than 10.  If you still don't get a result, then there may be a problem.  I used it yesterday without any problems.  Try again latter in case it is a server/network issue.  After that e-mail Yahoo and let them know.

Answer 4

It does not seem to be working.  Yahoo does like to make changes to their stuff without properly testing them out.  It will probably be fixed in a week or so if they discover it is not working before then.  I have seen errors continue for some time however--months often.
