Screening finds candidates. Intelligence explains them.
FinViz can show you a stock breaking out on volume. Argus tells you whether it's driven by an earnings revision, insider buying, a news catalyst, or a short squeeze setup, so you know if the move has substance behind it.
FinViz works from price and volume data. Argus layers in SEC insider filings, live company news and analyst ratings, Fed and Federal Register releases, jobs and inflation data, and short interest: sources that move stocks but don't appear on a chart until after the fact.
FinViz gives you a screen of candidates and lets you decide. Argus gives you a structured signal: direction, confidence score, entry zone, bull case, bear case, and the exact data point that would invalidate the thesis. Less work between data and action.
Use FinViz to scan for technically interesting setups. Use Argus to check what the SEC filings, insider activity, and macro context say about each candidate. The combination is more powerful than either tool alone, and both are affordable at $19/month.
