NSE Market Lens: The Complete Guide to Building Powerful Stock Screeners and Finding Investment Research Ideas

How to Use NSE’s Market Lens for Value, Quality, Growth, Compounder and Momentum Stock Research

For years, Indian investors looking for stocks had a familiar problem.

The National Stock Exchange contained thousands of listed securities, but turning that enormous universe into a manageable list of companies worth researching usually required third-party stock screeners.

NSE is now moving directly into that territory with NSE Market Lens.

As of September 25, 2026, Market Lens is available in beta mode. NSE describes it as an advanced stock-screening platform powered by NSE market data, covering more than 2,000 equity stocks with customizable filters and market analytics.

Open NSE Market Lens

But the most important thing to understand about Market Lens is this:

Market Lens should not be treated as a machine that tells you what stock to buy. It is a machine for dramatically reducing the number of companies you need to investigate.

Used properly, it can become the discovery layer of a serious investment-research system.


1. What Is NSE Market Lens?

Market Lens is NSE’s stock-discovery, screening and market-analysis interface.

Its homepage currently lets investors search securities, explore companies by sector and use predefined screening strategies. The platform explicitly states that it covers more than 2,000 NSE equity stocks.

The basic idea is straightforward:

2,000+ NSE STOCKS
       โ†“
Apply financial conditions
       โ†“
Remove companies that do not qualify
       โ†“
Generate a shortlist
       โ†“
Perform deep research

Instead of manually opening hundreds of company pages, an investor can ask questions such as:

Which companies have:

ROE > 20%
AND
Revenue Growth > 15%
AND
Debt/Equity < 1?

Market Lens converts that research hypothesis into a screen.

NSE itself currently provides essentially that example in its query builder.


2. Why Market Lens Matters

The difficult part of stock research is rarely finding information about Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, Infosys or Tata Motors.

The difficult part is:

Finding the company you didn’t already know existed.

Imagine an investor looking for:

High ROCE
+
Strong revenue growth
+
Low leverage
+
Reasonable valuation

There may be dozens of qualifying companies hidden among more than 2,000 NSE-listed stocks.

That is where a screener becomes extremely powerful.

It transforms investment research from:

"I heard somebody talking about this company.
Should I buy it?"

into:

"Define the characteristics I want.

Search the entire market.

Investigate every company that qualifies."

That is a much stronger research process.


3. Market Lens Is a Discovery Engine, Not a Stock-Tip Engine

This distinction is critical.

The correct workflow is:

MARKET LENS
     โ†“
STOCK DISCOVERY
     โ†“
FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH
     โ†“
BUSINESS ANALYSIS
     โ†“
FINANCIAL FORENSICS
     โ†“
VALUATION
     โ†“
MANAGEMENT / GOVERNANCE
     โ†“
RISK
     โ†“
INVESTMENT THESIS

The dangerous workflow is:

Market Lens says:
"ROE > 20"

        โ†“

BUY

A screen identifies characteristics.

It does not establish:

Competitive advantage
Management quality
Accounting quality
Future growth
Fair value
Customer concentration
Industry disruption
Capital allocation quality
Governance quality

Those require further research.


4. The Market Lens Homepage

The homepage currently provides three major ways to begin exploring the market.

Search

You can search directly for an equity security or sector.

Browse by Sector

Market Lens currently exposes sector navigation including areas such as banks, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, power, consumer durables, telecom services, auto components, insurance, capital markets, chemicals and petrochemicals, cement, mining and IT services.

This is useful because financial ratios should often be interpreted within industries, rather than across the entire market.

For example:

20% ROE for a bank

is not directly comparable with

20% ROE for an asset-light software company.

Likewise:

P/B

can be extremely useful for financial institutions while:

EV/EBITDA

may be more relevant for many industrial companies.

Sector-first screening therefore has genuine analytical value.


5. Pre-Built Market Lens Screens

Market Lens also provides predefined screens grouped into themes such as:

Income + Safety
Momentum + Breakout
Quality + Safety
Value Growth
Growth at a Discount

The exact screens and number of matching companies can change as market and financial data change.

At the time of research, examples shown by Market Lens included screens based on combinations such as high promoter holding with EPS growth, dividend characteristics, valuation ratios and price characteristics.

These are excellent for idea generation.

But there is an important warning.

A screen’s title is not an investment conclusion.

For example:

High EPS Growth

does not automatically mean:

High-quality company.

EPS can increase because of:

Operating growth
Margin expansion
Lower interest expense
Lower tax
Asset sales
Exceptional income
Share-count changes
Accounting effects

The screener finds the clue.

The investor must investigate the cause.


6. The Real Power: Create Your Own Screen

Market Lens becomes much more interesting when you open its custom screen builder.

NSE currently describes this feature as allowing users to filter more than 2,000 equity stocks using financial ratios and logical operators.

The syntax is intentionally simple.

Market Lens supports logical operators such as:

AND
OR
NOT

and comparison operators including:

>
<
>=
<=
=

For example, NSE provides:

Market Cap > 500 AND PE Ratio < 15 AND ROCE > 22

as an example of a value-oriented screen.

This turns Market Lens into something much closer to a query engine for equities.


7. Understanding AND, OR and NOT

These three operators are the foundation of advanced screening.

AND

Every condition must be satisfied.

ROE > 20
AND
Rev Growth > 15
AND
Debt / Eq < 1

This progressively reduces the stock universe.

Conceptually:

2,000 stocks
    โ†“ ROE > 20
600 stocks
    โ†“ Growth > 15
250 stocks
    โ†“ Debt/Equity < 1
120 stocks

The numbers above are illustrative, but the logic is important.

Every additional AND condition makes your universe more selective.


OR

At least one condition must be true.

Conceptually:

ROE > 25
OR
ROCE > 30

This can be useful where different business types require alternative qualifying characteristics.


NOT

NOT allows exclusions.

This becomes valuable when constructing sophisticated universes in which particular characteristics should disqualify a company.

Because Market Lens remains in beta, use the platform’s current query builder and Ratio Gallery to insert supported field names rather than assuming every imaginable financial variable is available.


8. Market Lens Ratio Gallery

The custom-screen interface currently highlights metrics including:

MetricWhat it broadly measures
Market CapCompany’s equity market value
PE RatioPrice relative to earnings
ROCEReturn generated on capital employed
ROEReturn generated on shareholders’ equity
Debt / EqBalance-sheet leverage
Rev GrowthRevenue growth
PB RatioPrice relative to book value
Div YieldDividend return relative to share price

The interface also shows categories for metrics drawn from areas such as annual P&L, quarterly P&L and the balance sheet.

One particularly important detail is disclosed directly on the Market Lens query page:

Its screening interface states that the financial data there is sourced from Cogencis.

That distinction matters.

Market Lens is an NSE platform and incorporates NSE market information, but investors should not assume that every fundamental ratio displayed on every part of Market Lens is calculated directly from raw NSE filings.

For investment-critical research, the final verification source should still be the company’s:

Annual report
Quarterly results
Exchange filings
Investor presentation
Audited financial statements

9. Five Excellent Starter Screens

These are not stock recommendations. They are research-universe generators.

Quality Growth

Market Lens itself provides this example:

ROE > 20
AND
Rev Growth > 15
AND
Debt / Eq < 1

The objective is to locate businesses combining:

Profitability
+
Growth
+
Balance-sheet discipline

NSE currently labels a similar example as a Quality Growth screen.


Low-Debt Compounder Candidates

NSE provides:

Debt / Eq < 0.5
AND
ROE > 15
AND
PB Ratio < 5

as an example screen for low-debt compounder candidates.

This can be a useful starting point.

But a genuine compounder requires much more:

High returns on capital
ร—
Ability to reinvest
ร—
Long reinvestment runway
ร—
Durable competitive advantage

A single year’s ROE cannot establish that.


Traditional Value

NSE currently demonstrates:

Market Cap > 500
AND
PE Ratio < 15
AND
ROCE > 22

This is much more intelligent than simply screening:

PE < 10

because it attempts to combine valuation with business profitability.

However, low P/E can still represent:

Peak cyclical earnings
Structural decline
Governance problems
Temporary windfall profits
Commodity-cycle peaks

A cheap multiple requires an explanation.


Dividend Research

Another example provided by NSE is:

Div Yield > 3
AND
PE Ratio < 20
AND
Market Cap > 200

This generates dividend-oriented research candidates.

But dividend investors should subsequently investigate:

Dividend payout ratio
Free cash flow
Dividend history
Debt
Capital requirements
Earnings cyclicality

Dividend yield by itself can become artificially high because the share price has collapsed.


Below-Book-Value Candidates

NSE currently gives the example:

PB Ratio < 1.5
AND
PE Ratio < 12
AND
ROE > 10

and describes it as a screen for potentially undervalued companies.

Again, this should begin research rather than end it.

Book value may contain assets whose economic value differs substantially from accounting value.


10. Building a Better Compounder Screen

Suppose we want to discover businesses with characteristics associated with long-term compounders.

The conceptual model is:

COMPOUNDER
=
High profitability
+
Revenue growth
+
Low financial leverage
+
Reasonable valuation
+
Reinvestment opportunity

Using currently visible Market Lens metrics, a starting screen might resemble:

ROE > 18
AND
ROCE > 18
AND
Rev Growth > 12
AND
Debt / Eq < 0.5

Then examine valuation separately.

Why not immediately require extremely low P/E?

Because some exceptional companies rarely trade at statistically cheap valuations.

The first question should be:

Is this an exceptional business?

The second should be:

What price am I being asked to pay for it?

Those questions should remain separate.


11. Building a Growth-at-a-Reasonable-Price Screen

A useful research hypothesis is:

Good growth
+
Good capital efficiency
+
Reasonable valuation
+
Manageable leverage

Conceptually:

Rev Growth > 15
AND
ROCE > 18
AND
Debt / Eq < 1
AND
PE Ratio < 30

The precise thresholds should depend on the sector.

A P/E of 30 might be:

Very expensive for one business

and

Potentially reasonable for another.

Therefore screen results should subsequently be compared with:

Sector growth
Peer valuations
Historical valuation
ROIC
Expected future growth

12. How I Would Search for โ€œHidden Multibaggersโ€

The phrase hidden multibagger should never mean:

โ€œFind a cheap unknown stock that will go up 10ร—.โ€

No screener can reliably do that.

A much better question is:

Which smaller businesses show early evidence of becoming significantly larger and more profitable enterprises?

The discovery model becomes:

SMALL/MID-SIZED BUSINESS
            +
STRONG REVENUE GROWTH
            +
HIGH/IMPROVING RETURNS
            +
LOW/MANAGEABLE DEBT
            +
LARGE INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITY
            +
CAPACITY EXPANSION
            +
MARKET-SHARE GAINS
            +
CASH-FLOW IMPROVEMENT

Market Lens can help with the first filtering layer.

The remaining factors require fundamental research.


13. The Most Powerful Concept: Sequential Screening

Do not build a gigantic query containing twenty conditions.

That often eliminates interesting companies before you understand them.

Instead use stages.

STAGE 1
Entire NSE Universe
2,000+ companies
        โ†“

STAGE 2
Basic Size/Liquidity Filter
        โ†“

STAGE 3
Quality Filter
ROE / ROCE
        โ†“

STAGE 4
Growth Filter
Revenue Growth
        โ†“

STAGE 5
Balance Sheet
Debt / Equity
        โ†“

STAGE 6
Valuation
PE / PB / Yield
        โ†“

STAGE 7
Manual Research

Why?

Because you want to know which condition removed each company.

Sequential filtering teaches you far more than blindly running one enormous query.


14. Market Lens and Technical Analysis

Market Lens is not restricted to fundamental screening.

Launch coverage of the platform reports chart support across indices, equities and F&O contracts, with timeframes ranging from intraday intervals to daily, weekly and monthly views.

Reported chart intervals include:

1 minute
5 minutes
15 minutes
30 minutes
1 hour
Daily
Weekly
Monthly

The platform also reportedly supports multiple chart types including candlestick, bars, lines, area, columns, Heikin Ashi and other formats.

This allows two very different research disciplines to coexist:

FUNDAMENTALS
"What company do I want to research?"

        +

MARKET BEHAVIOUR
"What is the market currently doing with the stock?"

Those questions should not be confused.

Price momentum does not make a bad company good.

But market behaviour can provide useful information about changing expectations.


15. Technical Drawing and Analysis Tools

Launch reporting also describes charting tools including trend lines, channels, Fibonacci tools, Gann tools and pattern-analysis capabilities, together with indicators for trend, momentum and volatility.

The platform reportedly allows multiple securities or indices to be overlaid for performance comparison.

That can be particularly useful for analysing:

Stock vs Nifty 50

Stock vs Nifty 500

Stock vs sector index

Company A vs Company B

Absolute return tells only part of the story.

A stock rising:

10%

may initially appear strong.

But if its sector rose:

28%

the stock has actually materially underperformed its peers.

Relative strength provides the missing context.


16. Indexed-to-100 Comparison

One particularly useful reported charting option is an Indexed-to-100 scale.

Suppose:

Company A = โ‚น300
Company B = โ‚น2,100
Nifty = 24,000

Their absolute prices cannot be meaningfully compared.

Rebase all three to:

100

on the starting date.

Then:

Company A      100 โ†’ 145
Company B      100 โ†’ 118
Nifty          100 โ†’ 109

The result immediately shows comparative performance.

That is far more useful than visually comparing raw share prices.


17. Fundamental + Momentum Research

This is where Market Lens can become particularly interesting.

Instead of studying:

Momentum alone

look for:

FUNDAMENTAL IMPROVEMENT
        +
PRICE CONFIRMATION

For example:

Revenue growth accelerating
ROCE improving
Debt declining
Margins expanding
            +
Stock outperforming sector

That combination may signal a genuine business inflection.

Conversely:

Reported fundamentals improving
            +
Share price persistently weakening

does not automatically mean the market is correctโ€”but it should cause you to investigate what the market may be seeing that your spreadsheet has missed.


18. Market Lens Should Be Stage One of a Multi-Model Research System

The strongest use of Market Lens is to combine it with the multi-model research framework.

                        โ†“
                 RESEARCH DOSSIER

Market Lens solves:

What should I investigate?

The research framework solves:

Is the opportunity actually attractive?


19. Example: Discovering a Potential Compounder

Imagine Market Lens identifies a company satisfying:

ROCE > 25
ROE > 20
Revenue Growth > 15
Debt / Equity < 0.5

That looks interesting.

But now the real research begins.

You would investigate:

QuestionWhy it matters
Is ROCE consistently high?One exceptional year can mislead
Is revenue growth organic?Acquisitions may inflate growth
Is operating cash flow growing?Profit must eventually convert to cash
Why is debt low?Business model or temporary balance-sheet position?
Can capital be reinvested?Determines compounding runway
Is market share rising?Evidence of competitive strength
Is capacity expanding?Potential future growth
Are margins sustainable?Determines earnings quality
Is management trustworthy?Capital allocation matters
What valuation is being paid?Great businesses can still be poor investments at extreme prices

The screen has done exactly what it should:

It found the candidate.

It did not answer the investment question.


20. Example: Finding a Turnaround

Turnarounds require a different approach.

A company emerging from difficulty may initially have:

Low ROE
High P/E
Weak trailing FCF
Low historical margins

A conventional quality screen might reject it completely.

But the important variables may actually be:

Revenue decline slowing
        โ†“
Revenue starts growing
        โ†“
Gross margin recovers
        โ†“
EBITDA turns positive
        โ†“
Operating cash flow improves
        โ†“
Debt begins falling
        โ†“
ROCE recovers

Therefore:

Do not use a compounder screen to discover turnarounds.

Different investment archetypes require different screening logic.


21. Example: Cyclical Companies

A steel, mining or commodity company can produce extremely misleading screening results.

Near the top of a commodity cycle:

Earnings โ†‘โ†‘
ROE โ†‘โ†‘
ROCE โ†‘โ†‘
P/E โ†“โ†“

The stock can suddenly appear:

Cheap
+
Profitable
+
High quality

exactly when profits may be near cyclical highs.

Near the bottom:

Earnings โ†“โ†“
ROE โ†“
P/E โ†‘

and the same business may look expensive.

Therefore cyclical businesses require:

Normalized earnings
Commodity-cycle analysis
Capacity analysis
Demand/supply analysis
Balance-sheet analysis

Market Lens ratios provide the clue.

They do not normalize the economic cycle for you.


22. Why Low Share Price Is Not the Same as Cheap Valuation

This deserves special attention because screeners sometimes contain filters involving absolute share price.

Consider:

Company A
Share price = โ‚น80
Shares = 1 billion

Company B
Share price = โ‚น2,000
Shares = 10 million

You cannot conclude:

โ‚น80 stock = cheap
โ‚น2,000 stock = expensive

Share price alone says almost nothing about valuation.

Valuation depends on:

Market capitalization
Enterprise value
Earnings
Cash flow
Assets
Growth
Returns on capital

Therefore screens using low absolute share price should be treated primarily as discovery tools, not evidence that a stock is undervalued.


23. Why Low P/E Can Be Dangerous

Suppose Market Lens finds:

PE = 6

There are at least two possibilities.

Scenario A

Business worth โ‚น600
Market price โ‚น300

Potential undervaluation

Scenario B

Current EPS inflated by commodity boom

Future earnings collapse

Today's PE = 6
Normalized PE = 25

Same screen.

Completely different investment.

Therefore after finding a statistically cheap company ask:

Why is the market offering this valuation?

Sometimes the market is wrong.

Sometimes the screener is looking backward.


24. Why High ROE Can Also Mislead

ROE is approximately:

Net Income
โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€
Shareholders' Equity

A company may produce high ROE through:

Strong business economics

or through:

Heavy financial leverage

Therefore:

ROE = 30%

should never be analysed without the balance sheet.

This is why combining:

High ROE
+
Low Debt/Equity

is usually more informative than ROE alone.


25. Market Lens + Annual Reports

Once Market Lens identifies an interesting company, move immediately to primary documents.

The ideal verification sequence is:

Market Lens
     โ†“
Latest quarterly results
     โ†“
Annual report
     โ†“
Cash-flow statement
     โ†“
Balance sheet
     โ†“
Investor presentation
     โ†“
Concall transcript
     โ†“
Exchange announcements
     โ†“
Credit-rating reports

For every important ratio, understand its components.

Do not merely record:

ROCE = 27%

Ask:

Why did ROCE reach 27%?

Margin improvement?
Asset turnover?
Capacity utilization?
Working-capital improvement?
Asset sale?
Cycle?

Understanding the driver is much more valuable than knowing the ratio.


26. Market Lens + AI

Market Lens can also form the first stage of an AI-powered research architecture.

GOVERNANCE AI

RED-TEAM AI
       โ†“
FINAL RESEARCH FILE

For example, suppose Market Lens produces 25 companies.

You could ask an AI research system to investigate each company using exactly the same framework:

Revenue CAGR
EBITDA CAGR
EPS CAGR
CFO CAGR
ROIC
Incremental ROIC
Debt
FCF
Promoter holding
Pledge
Customer concentration
Industry opportunity
Capacity expansion
DCF
Reverse DCF
Peer valuation
Governance

Now Market Lens has become more than a stock screener.

It has become the front end of a research pipeline.

WATCHLIST

The numbers are illustrative.

The principle is what matters.

You are progressively increasing the amount of human research as the candidate pool becomes smaller.


28. One of the Biggest Mistakes: Over-Screening

Imagine creating:

ROE > 25
AND
ROCE > 30
AND
Growth > 25
AND
Debt/Equity < 0.1
AND
PE < 15
AND
PB < 2
AND
Dividend Yield > 3

It looks sophisticated.

But you may accidentally design a screen searching for a company that almost cannot exist.

High-growth, high-quality businesses often command premium valuations.

Deep-value companies often have visible problems.

Turnarounds often have weak historical ratios.

Early-stage growth companies may have low current ROE.

Therefore:

Screens should express an investment hypothesisโ€”not a fantasy of finding a perfect company.


29. The Right Way to Use Market Lens Every Week

A disciplined investor could use Market Lens as a recurring research process.

StageObjective
DiscoveryIdentify newly qualifying stocks
Fundamental checkVerify revenue, margins, ROCE and debt
Change detectionDetermine which metrics are improving
Industry researchUnderstand demand/supply environment
GovernanceCheck promoter, auditor and related-party issues
ValuationCompare market price with economic value
WatchlistMonitor the companies that survive
Quarterly reviewRe-run the screen after results

Over time this becomes extremely powerful because you start noticing:

Companies entering screens
Companies leaving screens
Quality improving
Growth accelerating
Debt falling
Valuation compressing
Momentum emerging

The change can be more informative than the absolute number.


30. Market Lens Limitations

Market Lens is powerful, but it does not remove the weaknesses inherent in screening.

LimitationWhy it matters
Historical dataMarkets value the future
Accounting ratiosCan be affected by accounting choices
Sector differencesOne threshold cannot fit every industry
CyclicalityPeak earnings can make stocks look cheap
Data freshnessFinancial data updates occur periodically
Quantitative biasMoats and management are difficult to reduce to ratios
ValuationLow multiple doesn’t necessarily mean undervalued
Beta productFeatures, metrics and behaviour may change
Data sourcesFundamental screen data may come from external providers
No substitute for filingsPrimary-source verification remains essential

Market Lens itself currently identifies the platform as being in beta, so investors should expect the interface and available functionality to evolve.


31. The Most Important Data-Quality Rule

Never write:

Market Lens shows it,
therefore it must be correct.

Instead write:

Market Lens identified it.

Now I will verify it.

For a serious investment, verify important numbers against:

NSE/BSE filings
Annual reports
Audited statements
Quarterly results
Company disclosures

Screeners optimize speed.

Primary documents establish evidence.

You need both.

This is where Market Lens becomes genuinely valuable.


33. Market Lens Is Not Trying to Answer the Final Question

The final investment question is:

Is this business worth owning at today’s price given its future economics and risks?

No screener can fully answer that.

Market Lens helps answer an earlierโ€”but enormously importantโ€”question:

Among more than 2,000 NSE-listed companies, which businesses deserve my attention?

That distinction transforms how the platform should be used.


Final Takeaway

NSE Market Lens has the potential to become an important research tool for Indian investors because it combines a large NSE equity universe with customizable fundamental screening and market-analysis capabilities.

Its custom query engine is particularly valuable because it allows investors to convert an investment philosophy into explicit rules:

QUALITY

ROE
ROCE
Debt
GROWTH

Revenue Growth
Earnings Growth
VALUE

PE
PB
Dividend Yield

and then search the market systematically rather than depending entirely on familiar company names, social-media ideas or tips.

But the most sophisticated way to use Market Lens is not:

SCREEN
โ†“
BUY

It is:

SCREEN
โ†“
DISCOVER
โ†“
VERIFY
โ†“
UNDERSTAND
โ†“
VALUE
โ†“
CHALLENGE
โ†“
MONITOR

Think of NSE Market Lens as a telescope.

It allows you to scan a huge investment universe and locate objects worthy of closer examination.

It does not tell you whether what you found is a great company, a value trap, a cyclical peak, a turnaround, an emerging compounderโ€”or an expensive business whose future success has already been priced in.

That still requires research.

And that is exactly how a powerful stock screener should be used.
