After a 30 year career as an Investment Adviser I retired to manage my own portfolio. I use a number of tools for this purpose. Simply Wall St. has a unique pictorial approach to quickly and effectively cut through the massive amounts of data to narrow to a select few candidates. It is very easy to track your holdings. They are also very transaparent in presenting how their results are obtained. After two week trail I have parted with my hard earned money. I expect that they will help in making better investment choices in the year ahead. WES

5 Best Free Stock Analysis Tools for Investors

A tremendous amount of free stock research and analysis tools are available online.

It's best to do your homework before you pull the trigger on a stock option.

The U.S. stock market is off to a great start in 2024. Through Feb. 23, both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100 are up more than 7% year to date (YTD). The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up nicely as well, though not as dramatically. That well-known index has gained just over 3% YTD.

You may be thinking about taking money off the sidelines and investing in this red-hot market. If you have a long-term time horizon, that's probably a good idea. The equities markets go up and down, but historically, good quality stocks tend to appreciate over time.

Before you pull the trigger on that stock you've got your eye on, you need to do a little homework first. It's smart to review past performance, become familiar with company fundamentals , learn about management and get an independent, third-party opinion before you place a buy order.

The problem is, high-quality stock analysis tools and professional research can be very expensive. Where can a retail investor go for high-level stock research and helpful analysis tools without breaking the bank?

Thankfully, there are plenty of investing resources that any investor can access for free. Here are some of the best places to conduct your equity research at no cost to you:

  • Your online broker.
  • TradingView.
  • Morningstar at the public library.
  • S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Your Online Broker

Most brokerage platforms provide their clients with reasonable access to their proprietary equity research as well as valuable analysis tools such as charting and backtesting utilities. Generally, the larger and more established the broker, the better the research. You can expect excellent quality research, tools and advice to be included on platforms like E*Trade, which is owned by Morgan Stanley (ticker: MS ), TD Ameritrade, owned by Charles Schwab Corp. ( SCHW ) and Merrill Edge, owned by Bank of America Corp. ( BAC ), and the online brokerage of Charles Schwab Corp. ( SCHW ), which includes features from the recently acquired TD Ameritrade. Popular online and app-based brokers like Interactive Brokers Group Inc. ( IBKR ) and Robinhood Markets Inc. ( HOOD ) get high marks in this department as well.

Broker-provided research reports are usually only one or two pages long and are well worth reading. You'll also find easy-to-access tools like stock screeners and news feeds as well.

Just log on to your account and look for a tab or button that says "research." Most systems are designed to be highly intuitive and user-friendly. If you run into difficulty accessing their tools or research, just contact customer service via chat, email or phone.

Did you know that a public company's financial filings and virtually all other government-mandated reports are public information and can be accessed by anyone, at any time free of charge? It's true. And it makes the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) an excellent free resources for stock research.

The SEC doesn't publish research reports or give opinions on stocks, but through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System, called EDGAR for short, it does catalog and provide free access to every document a public company files with that regulatory agency.

Want to know a stock's revenue, profit, expenses or cash flow for the latest quarter or for the last few decades? Are you curious about the CEO's compensation? It's all on EDGAR for you to download and view, and it's very easy to find. Just navigate over to the SEC's website and click on the "filings" tab. From there, page down to the EDGAR - Search and Access . There you can navigate to a search that works for you, and an incredible wealth of information is available with a few clicks of your mouse.

TradingView

There is a category of investment analysis websites broadly called charting platforms. That name, however, is insufficient in light of all they offer and all the free investing tools they provide. With more than 50 million users, TradingView is among the most popular charting and investing platforms on the internet.

TradingView is a comprehensive combination of charting, analysis and research tools. All members have access to breaking news, historical investment data and the site's social network. It offers premium subscriptions for a reasonable fee, but investors can conduct a surprising amount of in-depth research with basic access which is available for free.

You can view customizable charts with multiple layers of pricing, volume and trend data , you can screen stocks by market capitalization, stock market sector and other criteria, and you can develop your own strategies and ideas and test them in various hypothetical situations. Beyond the research capabilities, TradingView offers an opportunity to communicate and learn from other investors on the platform.

It will ask you to open an account by registering with an email and password, but access isn't temporary or on a trial basis. You can use the many free tools for as long as you want and upgrade to premium only when you're ready.

Morningstar at the Public Library

A standard library card can be your key to an incredible amount of free market research. Many public libraries around the country maintain a premium subscription to Morningstar as well as other professional investment research outlets. Like almost all public library resources, Morningstar equity research is free to registered members.

Check with your local or state library system to see if it has Morningstar. While you're at it, look for other subscription-based research companies like CFRA or Zacks. Chances are they will have one or more. Once you've confirmed it has what you're looking for, dust off your old library card – or apply for a new one for free – and start browsing the catalog of investment resources.

In most cases, you won't even have to visit a physical library branch. Modern libraries offer members access to Morningstar online at no additional cost. You can download detailed financial and analyst reports, use the available portfolio and stock screening tools, and benefit from the educational resources Morningstar produces, all for free.

S&P Global Market Intelligence

S&P Global is one of the most respected research firms in the world. Institutional investors pay tens of thousands of dollars a year for premium access to its S&P Capital IQ research and trading platform. Those exorbitant price levels are out of reach for most retail investors but, thankfully, S&P offers many market insights and research online for free.

The Research & Insights page of S&P's website is loaded with articles, posts, notes and news that can be an invaluable resource to the small investor. Some information requires you have an account, but you can create one for free to access those reports. The site is updated several times a week so the data and information is always current.

You'll find sophisticated but accessible market intelligence on sectors from tech to health care and everything in between. The page has a search bar in the upper right corner so you can quickly find exactly what you're looking for.

Click on the "subscribe now" button and you'll be directed to the S&P newsletter subscription hub. There you can sign up for any of dozens of professional quality investment industry newsletters on a wide variety of subjects. Free research will be delivered to your email inbox on a monthly basis at no cost and with no obligation.

Warren Buffett Says 'Buying A House Is Usually A Lousy Investment' — Here's Why

While many people view homeownership as a hallmark of financial stability and wealth building, legendary investor Warren Buffett says it includes overlooked costs, which could make buying a house a poor investment. "Buying a house is usually a lousy investment," said Buffett, who has lived in the same Omaha, Nebraska, home he purchased in 1958 for $31,500 — about $336,164 in today's dollars. Buffett's home, now worth about $1.4 million, is his only real estate investment. Buffett's estimated net

What Nvidia's 10-for-1 Stock Split Will Mean for Investors

What Nvidia's 10-for-1 Stock Split Will Mean for Investors

Alongside another blockbuster earnings report, Nvidia said it planned to split its stock. Here's a look at what that means: + **Why is Nvidia splitting its stock?** The company said it wants to "make stock ownership more accessible to employees and investors." A split lowers the per-share price of a stock, theoretically putting it in reach for more small investors (though nowadays, brokers offer fractional share trading, meaning this isn't a big obstacle.) It is also marginally good news for bigger investors, who tend to prefer dealing in round lots of 100 shares at a time.

10 best stock research websites & tools – rating the best stock market websites in 2024.

What are the best stock research websites and stock market analysis tools for investors in 2022? Read on to find out!

stock analysis websites

Financial writer

stock valuation methods

The internet is full of websites and stock research tools that analyze equity markets and help investors choose the best stocks out there.

Investors need to understand the product that is most suited to their investing style, risk tolerance and budget. Some investors are pure numbers-players, others connect dots around the world to come to a decision, while many are on the lookout for the next big idea.

Individual stock picking requires considerable analysis. Early investors who are starting out their journey are better off considering passive investments and low-cost index funds, rather than researching and buying stocks on their own.

We have put together a list of some of the best stock research sites where you can get news and data on companies, the economy and the market.

1. WallStreetZen (Best Stock Research Website In 2024)

WallStreetZen - best stock research website & stock analysis tool

WallStreetZen was created when its founders were frustrated with existing stock research websites, so they set out on a mission of creating a better stock analysis experience for investors who are serious about deeply understanding the stocks they invest in, but aren’t financial professionals themselves.

The idea behind this stock research website is simple – most stock research sites are created by finance professionals, for finance professionals. As a result, they tend to be cluttered with dense tables filled with financial ratios and numbers, but they don’t give you the context you need to easily understand the data.

WallStreetZen takes a different approach – they don’t just show you financial data, they also help you interpret the data and understand the context.

How, you might ask? Their Zen Score and automated due diligence checks run key financial checks that experienced investors would run (usually using spreadsheets), and they present the results in easy to understand, one line explanations.

See the Zen Score in action for yourself by looking up a stock here

And instead of packing every page to the point of data overload, they’ve carefully selected important metrics that every investor should pay attention to and they help you visualize the historical and industry context behind the numbers.

For example, here is how Yahoo Finance shows you the P/E ratio for AMZN:

Lastly, it’s obvious that WallStreetZen cares deeply about creating a great user experience.

Much like the Robinhood app provided a cleaner, sleeker user experience for investors who weren’t satisfied with the clunky interfaces of traditional brokerages, WallStreetZen does the same for stock research and analysis websites.

Unlike most stock research websites that are cluttered and packed with too much data in every pixel, WallStreetZen’s design is minimalist and clean while still focusing your attention on the information you need to make good investing decisions.

stock analysis websites

WallStreetZen is currently in beta mode, but its unique features and focus on user experience already make it one of the most indispensable stock research sites for investors who want the best stock analysis software with more insights, and less noise.

You’ll definitely want to experience it for yourself, just click here to give it a try (it’s free).

Just a little disclaimer: WallStreetZen was started by one of the founders of InvestmentZen, so while we can’t claim to be unbiased, you can check out the product and decide for yourself . 

2. Motley Fool Stock Advisor

The Motley Fool is one of the most well known and best stock research sites in the world.

It is one of the most popular stock advisor platforms out there when it comes to investment news and advice. Founded in 1993 by brothers David and Tom Gardner, The Motley Fool offers a combination of free news and paid financial advice and research. 

stock analysis websites

Motley Fool launched its Stock Advisor product in 2002. The product is priced at $99 for an annual subscription or $19 for a monthly subscription.

What this product does is simple: Both brothers recommend stocks (after extensive research) that aim to beat the market. Since inception, Stock Advisor picks have delivered 333% returns compared to 77% by the S&P 500.

The dynamic duo at the Motley Fool give out two monthly recommendations of stocks that they believe will beat the broader markets in the long-term.

Similar to most investors, David and Tom are not concerned about short-term volatility and expect the company’s strong fundamentals to outperform the S&P 500 over a period of time.

While it is not possible to buy every single recommendation, you need to buy a good number of recommended stocks to be successful and outpace overall market returns.

Apart from the Stock Advisor ( read our full Stock Advisor review here ) report, investors also get:

  • Starter Stocks : This a curated list of 10 of the best stocks every month by Motley Fool experts for the investor who is just starting out in the market. These are rock-solid stocks that can build the foundations of a great portfolio (What’s a portfolio? Learn more and see an example of a stock portfolio .).
  • Best Buys Now : David and Tom Gardner regularly give you a list of the best opportunities in the market at that moment.
  • S.A. Knowledge Base : Provides 24/7 access to the full Stock Advisor library of proprietary reports and research compiled over eighteen years – ideal for all levels of investors with a desire to learn.
  • Market News Coverage : This is a pitstop where you can any investment worthy news from across the world.
  • The Motley Fool Community : Here every month investors can connect with fellow members and the actual analysts behind the Stock Advisor team. It promotes the exchange of investment ideas and a robust platform where investors can learn from each other. 

stock analysis websites

Stock Advisor’s biggest successes since launch include Booking.com that is up 5,561%, Marvel (later acquired by Disney ) which is up 5,464%, Amazon.com that is up 15,107% and Netflix stock that is up 18,497%.

Stock Advisor members who invested $1,000 in each of those stocks on the day Stock Advisor came out with their recommendations are sitting on over $450,285 today . You can try Motley Fool Advisor with a 30 day membership fee refund guarantee by signing up here .

3. Tokenist’s Newsletter: Five Minute Finance

The Tokenist is a financial media publication which produces world-class educational content on all aspects of investing and personal finance.

Led by Timothy Fries, partner at Protective Technologies Capital, The Tokenist received a 100/100 rating from NewsGuard , an independent agency which evaluates media publications for journalistic integrity.

The Tokenist has a few different content offerings—and all of them are quite impressive.

First, the publication has a news desk, which specifically focuses on the integration of finance and technology, maintaining a macro-economic outlook. Coverage can include in-depth analysis on anything from digital assets, to meme stocks and Robinhood’s payment for order flow (PFOF), to the ways in which U.S. monetary policy is anticipated to impact certain asset classes.

The Tokenist’s editorial vision largely focuses on the ways in which emerging technology is becoming increasingly integrated into capital markets—which makes it quite unique.

The publication also routinely publishes extensive guides written by financial experts which aim to help readers optimize the wealth creation process. The Tokenist’s well-rounded, insightful library of guides will help individuals learn about all aspects from investing, to include choosing the right broker, trading stocks, options, forex, and more—for beginners and veteran traders alike. If this piques your interest, check out the best options trading platform .

The Tokenist also offers a free newsletter, called Five Minute Finance (5MF). Published each Friday, the newsletter captures five of the week’s biggest events in the realm of finance and technology—and provides additional context to illustrate ongoing trends.

And honestly, it’s clear to see that Five Minute Finance produces signal, among an overly crowded sea of noise. Five Minute Finance is largely why The Tokenist takes the number three spot in our list of the best stock research websites.

Here’s an inside view of a previous edition of 5MF:

stock analysis websites

5MF boasts over 111k subscribers – so while it does not provide actionable investing advice, it helps investors maintain a pulse on the market environment—explaining where things are now, and where they’re going.

There’s a lot of noise out there – but 5MF aims to deliver valuable insights by illustrating trends, keeping investors in the know about the most important events to impact financial markets.

In summary:

  • Published once per week, each Friday
  • Maintains a big picture view of financial markets, identifying larger trends to keep investors in the know
  • Focuses on the integration of finance and technology, covering FinTech and digital assets

If you don’t want to miss out on the next big thing to hit the world of finance, be sure to sign up for Five Minute Finance —it’s free.

4. Morningstar

Morningstar is one of the world’s most widely respected equity research firms.

This is not a website for investors who trade using charts, this is for the value or fundamental investor.

There is no charting and technical analysis on this site and there is no talk of buy and sell indicators here, making it one of the best stock websites for long-term investors. 

stock analysis websites

You come to Morningstar to understand and start allocating your budget into assets and investments that suit your investing style. The Morningstar premium membership costs $199 annually and is well worth it.

It changes the way you look at investments because you start relying on hard data and sound analysis. You will find yourself making better decisions as you continue to use this tool. Numbers start to make sense and you feel like you are in constant touch with a financial advisor from the comfort of your home (and sans the expensive fees).

While Morningstar (see our Morningstar Premium review ) rates and analyses securities like stocks and bonds, its primary focus is mutual funds. This membership is perfect for investors who want to buy and hold for a long time.

Investors of every kind can tailor Morningstar research and tools according to their specifications. Premium members can:

  • Find new investment ideas using the most popular screeners for research.
  • Evaluate investment ideas by unveiling buying opportunities across sectors thanks to the unlocked data and ratings.
  • Monitor their investments using Portfolio X-Ray that shows how your asset allocation is holding up, enabling premium members to rebalance their portfolios.

Morningstar has pre-sorted their current top mutual fund, stock, and ETF picks using proprietary data points and featured them by type and investing goal making it easy for premium members to pick the best.

Morningstar premium has planning tools for tax planning, personal finance, and retirement and education investing.

The Instant X-Ray tool, in particular, is one of the best out there, and it ensures that you are not over-invested in a particular country, sector or stock. The tool takes a mutual fund’s quarterly SEC reporting of its individual stock allocation and helps determine your investment spread.

Basically, this tool does take a look at your asset allocation and then helps you determine if you are overinvested in a particular company. The report divides your portfolio into Cyclical, Sensitive and Defensive. For example, housing is a cyclical sector while electricity is defensive. Tech stocks and oil stocks could be sensitive.

If you are not sure about going in for the premium membership, there is an option of a 14-day trial period, making it one of the most flexible and best stock analysis websites for investors.

Morningstar analyst reports provide in-depth, continuous analyses from over 150+ independent analysts. This enables investors make decisions with confidence knowing the data and research that has gone into every single one of the ratings.

A lot of free investing apps use Morningstar ratings to make it easier for investors to choose the right investment. That should give you an idea of how highly Morningstar is rated. Of course, you only get access to the detailed analysis and reports on the premium membership.   

Here’s a helpful comparison of Morningstar vs Motley Fool (our 2nd pick), if you want to learn more.

5. Seeking Alpha

Seeking Alpha is a website for advanced investors .  This is a rather different kind of website in the sense that it is crowdsourced, giving it exceptional coverage of smaller cap stocks that receive little or no attention from Wall Street analysts.

The site offers a lot of articles and blogs for stocks and financial markets. The writers include amateur as well as professional investors, a lot of whom have backgrounds in buy and sell-side research. 

stock analysis websites

If you are someone who understands advanced jargon and day-to-day terminology used in Wall Street, you’ll love following other finance professionals on Seeking Alpha. It is one of the best stock websites for people who want to access top-quality research for public equities. 

As you get used to the style at Seeking Alpha, it could very easily turn into a one-stop-shop for you for all things related to investing in stocks, market analysis and insights.

Most articles on Seeking Alpha are free for a limited period of time for registered users. Sometimes articles as young as 10 days go behind a paywall. Seeking Alpha Premium is the basic premium product from the company that charges subscribers $29.99 monthly or $19.99 (if paid annually).

Apart from basic news and articles, Premium offers unlimited access to Seeking Alpha archives. That’s over 1 million articles. You get to view author performance and ratings, along with quant ratings, dividend forecasts and scores. Check out this review of Seeking Alpha Premium for more details.

stock analysis websites

(What’s due diligence? Read: What Does DD Mean in Stocks? )

The Pro service provides charts, research, analysis, newsletters, emails and personalized service to all content on Seeking Alpha. For example: Members can create specific tickers tailored to the securities they want to analyze and invest in.

Seeking Alpha has priced at its Pro subscription at $299.99 a month or $2,399 (which is about $199.99 a month) for the entire year. Pro subscribers get the following benefits:

  •         Unlimited Analysis : Access to all the research and analysis on the website.
  •         Top Ideas : Pro members get exclusive access to timely and well thought out expert long and short ideas. These actionable strategies help investors analyze new opportunities early on.
  •         Weekly Digest : The best stock calls, ideas, exclusive interviews and newsletters are emailed to members.
  •         VIP Customer Service : Personalized priority support through Seeking Alpha’s phone and email service.
  •         Powerful Screeners : Smart screening and filtering tools that enable members to surf Pro author content and search for investment ideas on different parameters. You can save time with more focused research and create investment opportunities for yourself according to your investing style and financial goals.

 6. AAII (American Association of Individual Investors)

You can add AAII to the list of best stock research websites. This is the only non-profit website that is on this list. Launched in 1978 by Dr. James B Cloonan the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) has a simple mission. It wants to make individuals responsible for their own investment journeys by educating them, informing them and providing research to them, particularly in the mutual fund space.  

stock analysis websites

And it wants them to beat the average S&P 500 returns while taking on lower-than-average levels on risk. The premise is simple. An unbiased platform can provide the best investment advice.

Sounds far-fetched? Well, it isn’t. AAII runs on a freemium model like most sites.

While some information is available to everyone, only paying members get access to a monthly journal, mutual fund analysis, stock screeners and model portfolios. The Better Business Bureau gives AAII a rating of A+.

The membership fees at the AAII are a paltry $29 per year. You can also opt for a 30-day trial at just $1.

The most popular paid resources that the AAII provides are:

  •         The AAII Journal : This journal is published, ad-free, every month.
  •         Asset Allocation Models : Here members can view the performance of popular investment benchmarks.
  •         Stock Ideas : Members get to explore a wide range of strategies and investment ideas best suited to their investing style.
  •       AAII Model Shadow Stock Portfolios : This is our favorite product from the AAII stable. It provides investors guidance for investing in the micro-cap sector. The focus of this model portfolio is on reducing risk and portfolio formation.

It shows when you take multiple risky stocks into your portfolio but if your portfolio is well-diversified, the risk of individual stocks is reduced by 70%.

The model encourages you to invest in at least 10 stocks to maintain a diversified portfolio. AAII manages this portfolio by simply reviewing earnings on a quarterly basis.

You can utilize the resources on AAII’s Stock Ideas to get a list of potential Shadow Stocks. This list is updated daily. The Ideas list shows all companies that meet the criteria for the Shadow Stock screen. However, this doesn’t mean that stocks that appear on the list will be added to the model portfolio.

The Model Stock Portfolio is a great tool that shows the investor how to develop a value-oriented approach towards investing. Considering that you will be investing in companies with great volatility, you will need to be extra careful here.

7. Zacks Investment Research

Zacks Investment Research is a well-known research website and stock picking service that often comes out with contrarian views. The website has a large archive of free content – the same as most websites — to hook readers and potential investors on to their research and information. Zacks goes beyond the usual articles with video commentary and podcasts in multiple topics, making it a comprehensive stock research website. 

stock analysis websites

Over 500,000 ‘Zacks Profit from the Pros’ members receive a free newsletter every morning ( ranked among WallStreetZen’s 3 best investment newsletters ) where they are briefed on key market developments. Along with this, they also get the Bull Stock of the Day from the Zacks Rank system. Zacks claims that this delivers more than doubles the market with an average gain of +24.13% per year.

One of the best things about Zacks is that they have their own mutual fund ranking system that helps its members evaluate the funds that will give them the most profit. That is all that Zacks focuses on- the bottom-line. In April 2020, approximately 19,000 mutual funds have been tracked and evaluated by Zacks.

Zacks’ rating system for mutual funds is simple. A 1 implies a great mutual fund while a ranking of 5 indicates a horrible one. Zacks’ research relies on quantitative data more than fundamental analysis which is not necessarily a bad thing depending on your investing style.

stock analysis websites

Investors who want more than the free stuff can opt for Zacks Premium which gives them the following:

  •   Zacks #1 Rank List : This is a collection of the top stocks that have more than doubled returns compared to the S&P 500 since 1998.
  • Industry Rank List : This is an extension of the #1 Rank List. Here, Zacks ranks industries by evaluating them on the Zacks Rank. The Zacks Industry Rank is calculated by considering the average Zacks Rank for all relevant stocks in a particular industry. The algorithm then assigns an ordinal rank to it.

Here, an industry with a lower average Zacks rank is better than an industry with a higher average Zacks Rank.

  • Premium Screens : Zacks Premium Screens lets you evaluate and choose from over 45 predefined screens according to your investing style. You can choose to browse through Zacks’ bear market strategies. Considering the next couple of quarters don’t look great, this is a solid feature to exploit.
  • Focus List : This is a collection of 50 top long-term performing stocks based on earnings momentum.
  • ESP List : The Earnings Expected Surprise Prediction or ESP is a great way to make some quick profits as you can use this filter to predict what stocks will have a great earnings season and pick them up before announcements.
  • Equity Research Reports : This is simple enough. Members get access to equity research reports for more than 1,000 stocks.

There’s a lot of data on Zacks. It can get overwhelming at times, especially when it comes to options contracts. If you’re interested in using Zacks Options Trader, head over to what is vega in options to start learning. 

Zacks Premium costs members $299 per year but you can also avail of a 30-day free trial period.

8. Yahoo! Finance

Yahoo! Finance is the most popular finance website in the US with 70 unique million users visiting it every month.

It is considered to be among the best stock market websites out there.

The amount of information available on this site is simply unmatched . A lot of websites on this list including Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha and Zacks ( read our review of Motley Fool vs Seeking Alpha vs Morningstar vs Zacks here ) derive a large amount of their traffic through Yahoo Finance. Its portfolio of stock research tools make it an ideal pick for the experienced investor. 

stock analysis websites

Yahoo! Finance is popular as a starting point beginners who are interested in investing.

The site has a basic set of tools that it provides investors to get started on their journey.

  • Stock Screeners : Yahoo Finance has predefined, ready-to-use stock screeners that you can use to search stocks by industry, index membership and more.

Yahoo Finance has one of the best free stock screeners on the market.

Examples of screeners include Fair Value Screener (Undervalued stocks with a strong & consistent history of earnings and revenue growth), Undervalued Growth Stocks (Stocks with earnings growth rates better than 25% and relatively low PE and PEG ratios), Growth Technology Stocks (Technology stocks with revenue and earnings growth in excess of 25%), Undervalued Large Caps, Aggressive Small Caps and a lot more.

You will need a Yahoo account to get started on Stock Screeners.

  • My Portfolio : This is our favorite Yahoo Finance tool. In case you haven’t spotted a trend, we like portfolio tools. They are a one-stop-shop to track our investments, and they show us all the data we need.

This Yahoo Finance tool lets you track portfolios (stocks, mutual funds, ETFs), you can customize the screen view, decide the parameters you want to input like valuation metrics and price movements.

You can manage your holdings efficiently and create custom views using over 60 data points. You can also key in the purchase prices of the shares you have invested in and calculate profits or losses. All the data is available in real-time. A Yahoo account is required to start building your portfolio.

  •   Markets : The market data section on Yahoo Finance is another great place to start for the young investor. You just have to click on the Markets link on the home page and you can choose the category you want to take a look at. Everything from mutual funds, to cryptocurrencies to futures to US bonds and Treasuries is available in this section.

Yahoo launched its premium service in August 2019. Subscription costs $34.99 per month or $349.99 annually. The service is integrated into Yahoo Finance’s existing desktop and app products. Key features of the product include:

  • Premium Data and Charting : This is great for ‘charters’ and day traders who can identify, evaluate and trade on new opportunities based on automated pattern recognition for technical analysis . If day trading is your thing, here’s the best trading platform for day trading .
  •   Advanced Portfolio Analytics : The tool measure portfolio performance and you can analyze and manage risk and volatility.

You can also get reports through an algorithm best suited to you. Stay updated on companies that you follow regularly and action ideas according to the current environment.
  •   Company Profiles : Go beyond fundamentals as you get better insights into the hiring, innovation and patent updates for various companies.

9. Google Finance

Google is trying to compete with other financial websites in the best way it knows. By going completely free.

Google Finance is a tool that budding investors should use as they try to get their feet wet in the financial markets today. 

stock analysis websites

It’s a solid site to go and analyze a large amount of financial data , including stock quotes and financial news before you decide where you want to invest your money. It’s very similar to Yahoo! Finance in the sense that it is a repository of real-time data and offers a lot of similar services.

You have a world markets section where you can see how stock indices around the world are performing.  The currency section does the same when it comes to world currencies. You can also view bond yields.

The website used to have a stock portfolio tool and a stock screener that was pretty good but it has since been discontinued. However, there is a Watchlist section on the page where you can add securities that you want to track and it does a pretty good job of it. If you’re looking to dive into more complex data, take a look at the features in our Benzinga Pro review . 

This is a simpler website to use than the others. One thing that works in its favor is that we use so much of Google in our daily lives that navigating on this site is very intuitive. That said, think of Google Finance as your foundation building site before you move on to the big boys.

10. Barron’s

When it comes to compiling a list of best stock research websites, it is difficult to drop Barron’s from the list.

Barron’s is well known for its magazines that help people out with their investments. Investors are expected to already have an idea about financial basics and terminology. Barron’s comes out with a cover story every week that analyzes an industry or a business in great detail. 

stock analysis websites

The magazine itself is full of investment ideas where the authors go very deep into researching the articles and businesses they write on. The five picks they give out every week are based on business or fundamental analyses and not technicals. These are stocks you want to hold on for a long period.

Barron’s is one of the top online media platforms in the United States. Magazine readers get well researched weekly articles that equip them with investing ideas, recent market trends and trading concepts.

The Data section of Barron’s is split up into Stocks, Bonds, Currencies, Funds and ETFs, and Commodities. Barron’s target audience is made up of experienced financial professionals, money managers, hardcore individual investors and senior management.

It has a Market Week section that focuses on trading strategies ranging from options trades to ETF trades. If you’re looking into complex derivatives like options, do some research on the safest options strategies first. 

The pricing is expensive at $179 for the whole year or $99 for 30 weeks.

But Barron’s is running an offer right now where you can get 12 weeks for $12. It’s not a bad investment to check it out for a quarter and decide if this one is for you.

Honourable Mention

Here’s an honourable mention to StocksTelegraph.com which didn’t make the list but is another helpful stock research website.

For even more ideas, take a look at the top Bloomberg Terminal alternatives .

The Best Stock Research Websites – What’s The Bottom Line?

The above list is just a selection of the best stock market websites and the most popular investing resources out there for the avid investor. However if you have a specific style of investing, you may want to look at different sites (here is a list of fundamental analysis tools )

The best stock sites look to engage self-directed investors who aim to create and manage their own portfolio. The internet is full of websites and stock research tools that analyze equity markets and help investors choose the best stocks to buy now .

These platforms are vast oceans of knowledge and we know that knowledge is power. However, if you don’t have the time or expertise to pick individual stocks, you can opt to leverage passive investing instead.

Best Stock Trading Apps of 2024

Sam Levine, CFA, CMT

Written by Sam Levine, CFA, CMT Edited by Carolyn Kimball Fact-checked by Steven Hatzakis Reviewed by Blain Reinkensmeyer

Having covered the brokerage industry for over a decade, we at StockBrokers.com have seen stock trading apps evolve from basic watch lists to fully functioning stand-alone trading platforms. Now the focus has shifted to making stock apps easy to use while still offering features that can satisfy the most demanding investors.

To find the best app for stock trading, I compared trading apps from 17 brokers side by side. My testing uncovered some interesting differences in both he user experience and features, which I'll break down below. For example, Merrill Edge’s app takes an entirely different approach to sharing stock data than, say, Interactive Brokers, but Interactive Brokers has three apps to choose from.

Why you can trust StockBrokers.com

Since 2009, we've helped over 20 million visitors research, compare, and choose an online broker. Our writers have collectively placed thousands of trades over their careers. Here's how we test .

Winners Summary

Best overall - interactive brokers.

Interactive Brokers offers three mobile apps to retail investors, and I tried out stock trades on all three. Each has a unique focus. I prefer the IBKR Mobile flagship app for its extensive features, but beginners might appreciate the other two apps, as they are much easier to use. The Impact app focuses on ESG (environmental, social and governance) investing. Global stock investors will find a very friendly experience on the Global Trader app. Though I found the stock trading on Impact and Global Trader to be very similar, I also enjoyed using Global Trader to speculate in foreign currency, even if it was only a few dollars.

Best for casual traders - E*TRADE

What stands out to me about E*TRADE apps is, first, how clearly everything is labeled and, second, the responsiveness. E*TRADE Mobile and Power E*TRADE Mobile are quick, clear, and feature-rich and won’t scare novice traders into giving up and just buying CDs. I prefer E*TRADE Mobile for monitoring market news and doing deep stock research dives. Power E*TRADE Mobile does a better job with chart-driven day trading. Read review .

Best app for investors and beginners - Fidelity

I found that Fidelity’s mobile experience is cleanly designed, bug-free, and delivers comprehensive research and market insights in an easy-to-navigate format. Fido’s app will satisfy almost every long-term investor, but I think its logical layout makes it easier for beginning investors to find useful insights into the markets and their holdings.

Best for traders - Charles Schwab

Schwab’s mobile suite should satisfy everyone except for the most active professionals and a few highly specialized traders. There’s Schwab Mobile for occasional and long-term investors and, new for this year, thinkorswim mobile for active traders. Though I’m happy to use either Power E*TRADE or thinkorswim, I lean toward thinkorswim personally because I prefer the layout. Read review .

Charles Schwab mobile stock app account dashboard

Best app for stock research - Merrill Edge

Merrill has a unique way of presenting stock information that makes the former investment analyst/advisor in me very happy. Edge’s Story format delivers what I think clients absolutely need to know before they make an investment. For existing Bank of America customers, the universal account access and functionality make the app an easy winner. Read review .

What are some tips for choosing the best stock trading app?

Now that almost all stock apps offer free stock trading , we recommend comparing other features to choose the best stock trading app. The most widely used stock app features are watch lists, stock charts, and order tickets, so make sure those are great. To help readers, we include full screenshots of each stock trading app in our broker reviews .

Fun fact: Not all stock trading apps offer real-time streaming quotes. Instead, some apps only refresh stock quotes every few seconds or longer. Watch lists aside, apps like TradeStation's and Charles Schwab's thinkorswim provide excellent stock chart tools and stock alerts functionality. Both brokers offer traders access to several hundred technical indicators in addition to endless customization options.

What is the best stock trading app?

The best stock trading apps for 2024, based on our extensive, hands-on app testing, are:

What is the best stock trading app for beginners?

For beginners in 2024, the best stock trading apps are Fidelity and Charles Schwab . Between the two brokers, Schwab has the edge for educational resources and trading tools. Meanwhile, Fidelity stands out for ease of use.

What app allows you to practice stock trading?

Several mobile apps allow you to practice stock trading without risking real money — also called paper trading . Here are our top brokers with simulated trading:

  • Webull - Best for beginners
  • Charles Schwab - Best for complex trading layouts
  • Interactive Brokers - Best for foreign investing
  • E*TRADE - Best for new options traders
  • TradeStation - A window into automated trading
  • eToro - The herd is the word

Are stock trading apps safe?

Trading apps from established U.S. based brokerage firms are safe against theft and broker insolvency. Brokers in the United States are among the highest-regulated financial service providers in the world. They go to enormous lengths to protect your privacy and you are protected against the loss of cash and securities by the Security Investors Protection Corporation if, for some reason your broker is financially distressed (up to $500,000 in securities and $250,000 in cash per customer). Many brokers buy additional coverage to insure even larger amounts.

Remember, SIPC insurance does not cover against losing money from your investments going down. Your investing decisions will play a far bigger part than the risk of fraud or theft in determining whether your portfolio is safe.

How do I buy shares of stock on my phone?

Follow these steps to make a mobile stock purchase. There may be minor variations between brokers for these steps.

  • Open an account with a broker . Most brokers have no minimum deposit or investment minimum, so you can try them out for free. See our top picks above.
  • Once you have opened an account with a broker, deposit money . Some give instant credit for deposits via e-checks.
  • Choose a stock . You may have to search for its symbol. Once you have it, there will be a “trade” or “buy” and “sell” buttons. Tap “buy.”
  • Select the number of shares or dollar amount you want to buy .
  • Choose either a market order or a limit order . A limit order specifies the maximum you are willing to pay for the stock.
  • Select time in force , either for the day, or good-until-canceled.
  • Hit confirm , check for any errors, then send the trade.

Can I start trading with $100?

Yes. Nowadays, most online brokers require no minimum deposit to open an account, commission-free stock and ETF trades, as well as the availability of fractional shares. As a result, new traders can start trading with a small investment such as $100.

Blain created the original scoring rubric for StockBrokers.com and oversees all testing and rating methodologies.

For this guide:

  • We used our own brokerage accounts for testing. For several brokers, we also used test accounts that were provided to us.
  • We collected 450 data points (25 per broker).
  • We took over 200 app screenshots.
  • We tested each online broker's mobile app (or apps, for those brokers offering more than one).
  • Our editorial team met with the product teams of nine online brokers.

How we tested

For this guide to the best stock apps, we thoroughly tested key features including the availability and quality of watch lists, charting, real-time and streaming quotes, stock alerts, and educational resources, among other variables. We also look for a fluid user experience moving between mobile and desktop platforms, where offered. Our writers maintained active, funded online brokerage accounts for testing. In certain circumstances, a demo account was provided by the broker.

StockBrokers.com uses a variety of computing devices to evaluate trading platforms. Our reviews were conducted using the following devices: iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, MacBook Pro M1 with 8 GB RAM running the current MacOS, and a Dell Vostro 5402 laptop i5 with 8 GB RAM running Windows 11 Pro. In testing platforms and apps, our reviewers place actual trades for a variety of instruments.

As part of our data check process, we sent a data profile link to each broker summarizing the data we had on file and the data they provided us last year, with a field for entering any data that had since changed. For the brokers that filled out these profiles, we audited the information for any discrepancies between our data and the broker’s data to ensure accuracy.

As part of our review process, all brokers had the opportunity to provide updates and key milestones in a live meeting that took place in the fall. Meetings with broker teams also took place throughout the year as new products rolled out. Insights gathered from these calls helped steer our testing efforts to ensure every feature and tool was assessed.

Tesla semi is on track for a 2026 launch. will it help tesla’s underperforming stock.

Tesla stock rallied by close to 7% in Tuesday’s trading, after the company revealed new details about its semi-truck which has faced a series of delays since it was first unveiled back in 2017.

Tesla says that the truck remains on track for deliveries to customers by 2026, noting that it was building out its Nevada manufacturing facility for the truck, looking to boost annual production capacity of 50,000 units per year eventually. The company says that the long-range Semi would have a range of up to 500 miles with the vehicle weighing in at 23,000 lbs, while the standard range truck with a smaller battery would be able to do 300-mile trips with its unladen weight standing at 20,000 lbs.

During the Semi’s unveiling in late 2017, Tesla estimated that the truck would start at $150,000 with the long-range model priced $180,000, there have been reports that trial customers have been paying about $250,000 per vehicle, indicating that prices have increased. This is roughly double the price of diesel class 8 trucks. However, Tesla’s vehicle does have some advantages, including high power and much better efficiency, which should translate into lower operating costs and a faster payback period. The increasingly stringent regulatory environment could also help Tesla. Although medium and heavy-duty diesel trucks constitute under 6% of vehicles on the road, they account for 25% of the greenhouse gases emitted by the transportation sector. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is now finalizing its Phase 3 rules that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from diesel trucks by as much as 60% by 2032. These rules could also help Tesla’s Semi see wider adoption.

Now amid the current backdrop, TSLA stock has faced a notable decline of 20% from levels of $235 in early January 2021 to around $185 now, vs. an increase of about 40% for the S&P 500 over this roughly 3-year period. However, the decrease in TSLA stock has been far from consistent. Returns for the stock were 50% in 2021, -65% in 2022, and 102% in 2023. In comparison, returns for the S&P 500 have been 27% in 2021, -19% in 2022, and 24% in 2023 - indicating that TSLA underperformed the S&P in 2022. In fact, consistently beating the S&P 500 - in good times and bad - has been difficult over recent years for individual stocks; for other heavyweights in the Consumer Discretionary sector including AMZN, TM, and HD, and even for the megacap stars GOOG, MSFT, and AAPL.

In contrast, the Trefis High Quality Portfolio , with a collection of 30 stocks, has outperformed the S&P 500 each year over the same period. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics .

Given the current uncertain macroeconomic environment with high oil prices and elevated interest rates, could TSLA face a similar situation as it did in 2022 and underperform the S&P over the next 12 months - or will it see a recovery?

Although Tesla will remain a big beneficiary of the long-term transition to cleaner transportation and energy generation, given its well-oiled supply chain, superior battery and drive-train tech, and its lead with software and self-driving technology, there are some concerns for the stock. The company is likely to see its deliveries and earnings face pressure this year, falling well below the company’s multi-year target of 50% annual growth in revenues, amid high interest rates and cooling EV demand. Moreover, it faces mounting competition from Chinese EV players, who have been offering very compelling vehicles and affordable prices. This could pose a threat to Tesla’s growth particularly in international markets. We value Tesla stock at about $177 per share, which is about 5% below the current market price.

Eleven items you need to stock up on in a national crisis

Deputy PM Oliver Dowden is set to advise Brits on making an emergency kit (Picture: PA)

The launch of a government ‘preppers’ website has sparked fear of panic buying at supermarkets.

Deputy Prime Minister Oliver dowden is set to advise people to make contingency plans to help alleviate pressure on emergency services in case of potential emergencies.

These plans suggest families stock up with enough food and water to survive for three days in the case of a major emergency such as floods or storms.

One Whitehall source said the advice is not intended to create ‘US-style survivalists’, but rather to make sure UK households are prepared.

The website says: ‘If an emergency did happen in your area, how would you manage? What about your relatives, friends, neighbours or colleagues – do you know anyone who might need some extra help or support?’

But the guidance has prompted supermarkets to warn shoppers not to panic buy, like in the early days of Covid.

Be sure to stock up on these necessities in case of an emergency (Picture: Metro.co.uk)

Those who are hoping to stock up on the supplies have been urged to buy these slowly, rather than panic buying and putting supermarkets out of necessary supplies.

The new guidance for Brits comes after a poll published by the London Defence Conference found more than 40% of people don’t have supplies to last three days – and just 15% have an emergency kit in their homes.

Mr Dowden said he is personally prepared, however: ‘I can assure you that we’ve got plenty of resilience in the cupboards and we’ve got some water in the shed.

Supermarket shelves were cleared of necessities during Covid panic buying (Picture: Getty)

What should your emergency kit include?

The government has provided a list with basic supplies (Picture: Getty)

  • A battery-powered or wind-up torch
  • Battery or wind-up radio for updates during an emergency
  • Portable power banks to charge electronic devices
  • Spare batteries
  • First aid kit
  • Hand sanitiser and wet wipes
  • Non-perishable food that does not need to be cooked
  • Bottled water
  • Baby supplies
  • Necessary medication

‘And we’ve got some better battery-powered torches.’

The most common risk to Brits is flooding, but other potential emergencies include cyberattacks, disruption to GPS systems, another pandemic and in extreme cases, a potential conflict.

Mr Dowden added: ‘Every additional person that takes steps to make themselves resilient means that when a crisis hits, the government can focus more on the people that aren’t ready and aren’t resilient.’
