Rapunzl Launches Its Stock Scanner, So Students Can Search the Market by the Numbers

CHICAGO, Nov. 10, 2026 — Rapunzl, the financial literacy platform used in classrooms across the country, today announced Rapunzl's Stock Scanner, a tool that lets students narrow the market to the few companies that fit rules they choose. The Stock Scanner is live on Rapunzl Web for every student, alongside the platform's real-time stock market simulator and chart tools.

A stock scanner answers a question every new investor runs into: with so many companies listed, where do you even begin? Instead of scrolling through tickers, a student sets conditions, such as a company's size, what it earns, how fast it is growing or how its chart is moving, and the scanner returns only the companies that meet all of them.

"Students ask us how investors actually decide which companies to look at," said Myles Gage, CEO and Co-Founder of Rapunzl. "The Stock Scanner puts that process in their hands. They set the rules, see what comes back and learn why each company made the list, which is how fundamental and technical analysis starts to make sense."

What the Stock Scanner does

A student can start in a minute and keep going for a semester.

• 63 filters, with 9 plain-language categories. Filters cover size and sector, price and popularity, value, income, growth and more. The category view groups the most-used filters under names a high school student can read, so students are not facing one long list.
• 34 ready-made ideas on 4 shelves. The shelves are Today's market, Investing styles, Chart signals and Mix and match. A student can open an idea, see exactly which filters it uses and change them.
• Learn sheets and practice charts. Every core filter has a Learn sheet that explains what it measures, why investors use it and what to watch out for. The practice charts draw on a made-up price history, so students can see how a filter works without mistaking it for real market data.
• Results that explain themselves. Each matching company shows the number that qualified it, such as a P/E ratio, so students see why it appeared, not just that it did.
• Scanner 101. A four-card tour introduces what a stock scanner is, how filters work and how to research a result.
• Shareable, savable screens. A screen is stored in the page's web address, so a student can send it to a classmate or a teacher. Students can also save up to 20 screens to their account under My Screens.

Why it matters for teaching analysis

Fundamental analysis asks whether a company is worth its price. Technical analysis asks what its chart is doing. Both are easier to teach when students can run the question themselves. With the Stock Scanner, a lesson on price-to-earnings becomes an experiment: set a limit, see which companies pass, then ask why a company with a high ratio might still deserve a look.

The Stock Scanner also works with the chart customizations already on Rapunzl, including Line, Candlestick and OHLC chart types and studies such as moving averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI and MACD. A student can find a company with the scanner, open its chart and look at the same idea visually. Every student's simulator portfolio starts with $10,000 in simulated cash, so a research idea can be tried without real money.

Built for research, not tips

Rapunzl designed the Stock Scanner as a research starting point. The tool says so on the screen: "Screens find companies to research. They are not recommendations." Results are a list of companies worth reading about, not instructions to buy or sell anything, and every trade a student makes on Rapunzl uses simulated money.

Rapunzl's Stock Scanner has been available to every student on Rapunzl Web since Oct. 31, 2026. Teachers and families can learn more at rapunzl.com/scanner, and educators can request a demo at rapunzl.com/demo.
