What is Finviz?

Finviz is a fast, data-dense platform loved for its stock screener, market heatmap and technical charts. It’s excellent for scanning the market, but it stops at ratios and price action — there’s no intrinsic-value DCF and nothing to track your reasoning over time. The free version runs on delayed data, and the paid Elite plan is aimed at active traders who need it live — which says plainly who the product is built for.

Where Finviz shines

A famously fast screener and a market-wide heatmap that are hard to beat for scanning.

Dense technical charts, news and breadth data all on one screen.

A free tier that is genuinely useful on its own, delayed data aside.

Why choose Lemma Analysis

From scanning to valuing

Finviz tells you a stock is cheap on a ratio. Lemma Analysis tells you what it’s worth: Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model, each on your own assumptions — not just a P/E column.

A cheap screen result, checked

Four models on one axis against today’s price turn a low multiple into an argument you can inspect: which methods fit this company, where they disagree, and what has to be true for the price to make sense. Free for 3 companies a day with no account, unlimited on Ultimate.

Hold a position with discipline

Beyond the scan, keep a thesis for every holding with a review date, plus portfolio factor, drawdown and correlation analytics Finviz simply doesn’t offer.

When to stay on Finviz

You trade on charts and breadth

Finviz’s heatmap, technical charts and market breadth on one screen are built for reading price action. Lemma Analysis has no heatmap and no technical indicators; it is built for valuing a business, not timing a trade.

You only need the scan, for free

If a fast screen on delayed data is the whole job, Finviz does it without a subscription. Our screener is part of Ultimate, and it earns its price only if you go on to value what it finds.

You hold for days, not years

If your edge is timing — breakouts, gaps, momentum — Finviz is built around it and Lemma Analysis is not. Our tools assume you will hold long enough for the value of the business to matter more than the shape of the chart.

How to switch

01

Create a free account

Sign up in a moment — no credit card. Seven days of Ultimate come with it; the portfolio, the watchlists and the Quality Score stay free afterwards.

02

Value a stock your way

Open any ticker’s Intrinsic Value tab: Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model, drawn on one axis against today’s price, with every assumption editable and a bear/base/bull case behind each.

03

Screen and build a watchlist

Screen for candidates, then track them on a watchlist with a margin-of-safety target so each name carries an undervalued / fair / rich signal.

04

Write the thesis and review it

Record why you own each position and give it a review date. Reaffirm or exit when the date comes due — a habit the other tools don’t give you.

FAQ

Is there a free Finviz alternative?

Lemma Analysis is free to start, and its intrinsic-value models open for 3 companies a day with no account. The rest of what it adds over Finviz — valuing without a limit, portfolio analytics and an unlimited thesis journal — sits with the screener in one Ultimate plan, which every new account gets for seven days.

What does Lemma Analysis do that Finviz doesn’t?

Finviz is built for scanning and technicals; it has no intrinsic-value DCF, no portfolio factor/drawdown analytics and no thesis journal. Lemma Analysis adds all three so you can value a stock and hold it with discipline, not just find it.

Does Finviz have a DCF calculator?

No — Finviz screens on ratios and price action rather than discounted cash flow. Lemma Analysis prices a company four ways instead, two of them discounted cash flow, with every assumption editable — free for 3 companies a day with no account, unlimited on Ultimate.

Can I still screen for stocks?

Yes — the screener is part of Ultimate. The difference from Finviz is what happens next: a result flows straight into a valuation and onto a watchlist with a margin-of-safety target.

Can I bring my Finviz portfolio across?

There is no direct import from Finviz. Watchlists are quick to rebuild by ticker, and a portfolio comes across as transactions — typed in on the free plan, which holds 1 portfolio of up to 10 positions, or on Ultimate imported from your broker’s CSV export or synced from Trading 212 or Interactive Brokers. Start with the positions you know least well; that is where a written thesis earns its keep.
