Using "OR" in a screener query requires caution because "AND" takes precedence over "OR". The outcome of your query can vary significantly depending on how you use brackets to group conditions.
For example:
(Net Profit TTM Growth % > 15 OR
Net Profit QoQ Growth % > 20) AND
ROE Annual % > 40
This yields 134 results, as the brackets limit the “OR” condition to just two filters: Net Profit TTM Growth% and Net Profit QoQ Growth%.
Now, if you run the same query without brackets:
Net Profit TTM Growth % > 15 OR
Net Profit QoQ Growth % > 20 AND
ROE Annual % > 40
This returns 300+ results because without brackets, “OR” applies to all subsequent conditions, making them optional.
