No, pink sheet financials usually do not show up in any of the screening tools I use, especially the small and micro caps. Sometimes the larger foreign mid caps appear in screens but the best method I have found is to identify your undervalued or out of favor sector(s), then focus on the comparable companies reveled in any screen. Many times you will find some hidden gems that are either foreign or smaller cap pink sheet candidates that are competitors and/or comparable companies. Grommit found a good REIT under valued candidate though an analyst's report done on another company. The report covered a sector that was fast growing and richly valued. However buried in the report were comparable companies that showed their relative market shares. Upon further research, one of those companies was undervalued, poised for excellent growth and IMO a great value find. So, you have to turn a lot of rocks over to find those values. Just because they might trade in the pink sheets does not make them good value buys. However, many time some really good values do trade in the pink sheets perhaps because it is an overlooked market. Just be careful of those companies that reside in China. EKS
