Penny Stock Screener

Pre-built screens over every US-listed common stock trading under $5, rebuilt from live data through the session. There is no filter builder here on purpose — the screens below are the ones that actually matter for low-priced stocks, already tuned so a one-cent tick does not throw the ranking. For a full screener with your own filters across every market cap, use the screener on StockMarketWatch.

Screen by price

Sub-penny stocks — under $0.10
Penny stocks under $1 — the sub-$1 tier
Cheap stocks to buy now — the whole sub-$5 universe

Screen by what is trading

Most active penny stocks — ranked by dollar volume
High volume penny stocks — volume against average
Today's penny stock gainers — biggest percentage moves
Penny stock movers — gainers and losers together
Premarket penny stocks — before the open
After-hours penny stocks — after the close

Screen by technical signal

Breakouts — new 52-week highs
Breakdowns — new 52-week lows
Oversold — RSI at the low end
Reversals — turning off a low
TTM squeezes — volatility compressed
Short squeeze candidates — high short interest
Golden cross — 50-day crossing the 200-day

Screen by sector

AI, biotech, mining, defense, nuclear, EV, quantum, space and a dozen more — see all penny stock scans for the full list.

The full market screener

These screens stop at $5. StockMarketWatch runs the same machinery across the whole market, with filters you set yourself:

Stock screener — pre-built lists for gainers, losers, 52-week highs and more, at any price.
Technical stock scans — daily bullish and bearish screens run on the full US universe.
Most active by volume — the whole market ranked, not just the sub-$5 slice.

A screen is a starting list, not a recommendation. Low-priced stocks carry wide spreads and thin books, so a name can look good on a screen and still be difficult to exit — see reading a stock quote and Level II before trading anything here.
