LSE UK Stock Screener — FTSE 100 Quotes & Fundamentals

Bloomberg Terminal alternative for the London Stock Exchange. Pull every FTSE 100, FTSE 250, or LSE main-market UK company in one structured dataset: price, percent change, market cap (GBP), revenue, P/E ratio, EPS, dividend yield, sector, industry, 52-week range, beta, RSI, and more — at a fraction of the cost of a Bloomberg, FactSet, or LSEG Workspace seat.

📊 Sample Output

Built for hedge funds, quant researchers, ETF builders, equity-research analysts, fintech apps, and individual UK investors who need clean, structured, programmatic access to London-listed equities without paying $24,000/year for a terminal license.

What you get per stock

Every record returned is a complete UK-equity snapshot pulled in real time from a server-rendered listing source. Listing pass (always included):

• symbol — LSE ticker (e.g. HSBA, AZN, SHEL, BP, ULVR, LSEG, BARC)
• name — full legal name (e.g. "HSBC Holdings plc")
• ticker_yahoo — Yahoo Finance ticker with .L suffix (e.g. HSBA.L) for cross-referencing
• price_gbx — last traded price in pence (the native LSE quotation unit)
• price_gbp — same price converted to pounds (decimal)
• pct_change — intraday % change
• market_cap_gbp — absolute market capitalization in pounds
• market_cap_billion_gbp — same value in £B for easy reading
• revenue_ttm_gbp — trailing-12-month revenue
• is_ftse100 — boolean, true for FTSE 100 constituents
• is_ftse250 — boolean, true for FTSE 250 constituents
• is_native_uk — boolean, distinguishes native UK listings from International Order Book (IOB) ADRs
• stockanalysis_url, yahoo_finance_url — direct deep-links
• scraped_at, exchange, country, currency, price_currency — provenance and units

Fundamentals pass (when enrich_fundamentals=true — one extra HTTP request per stock):

• net_income_gbp, shares_outstanding
• dividend_gbp, dividend_yield_pct, ex_dividend_date
• volume, avg_volume, previous_close_gbx, open_gbx

How it works

The actor scrapes stockanalysis.com/list/london-stock-exchange/, a clean server-rendered universe page that aggregates every LSE-listed name sorted by market cap. We paginate through pages of 500 stocks, filter out International Order Book ADRs (codes like 0R1I, 0HD6 — these are foreign companies cross-listed via depositary receipts and aren't true UK companies), and apply the requested index/cap/sector filters in memory.

When enrich_fundamentals=true, we additionally hit each stock's /quote/lon/{symbol}/ detail page, parse the structured statistics tables, and add P/E, EPS, dividend, 52-week range, beta, sector, and industry to each record. Enrichment runs at concurrency 5 to be a polite scraper. Typical runtime: 10 stocks ≈ 8 seconds without enrichment, ~20 seconds with.

Native UK ticker detection — The upstream listing mixes native UK companies (2–5 alpha-char tickers like HSBA, AZN, BP) with IOB ADRs (4-char numeric-prefix tickers like 0R1I for NVIDIA, 0HD6 for Alphabet). We keep only native UK main-market names by default so you get actual British companies, not US tech ADRs that happen to also trade in London.

FTSE 100 membership — The actor ships with the FTSE 100 constituent list embedded for instant is_ftse100 flagging and index=FTSE100 filtering. No external dependency.

Currency notation — Native LSE prices are quoted in GBX (pence), not pounds. A "share price of 1,319.80" for HSBC means 1,319.80 pence = £13.20. We expose both price_gbx (the native unit) and price_gbp (decimal pounds for convenience), so you can use whichever your system expects.

Pricing — Pay Per Event

This actor uses Apify's Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for what you actually pull, no monthly fees, no commitments, no annual contracts. Compare that to Bloomberg Terminal at ~$2,000/month per seat or LSEG Workspace at ~$1,800/month: even pulling the full FTSE 350 daily, you'd recover the cost in under a week of analyst time saved.

Event	Price	When charged
Actor start	$0.01	Once when the run begins
LSE stock record	$0.25	Per UK-listed stock record returned with price, market cap, P/E, P/B, dividend yield, sector, fundamentals

Worked examples (USD):

• 10-stock smoke test: $0.01 + 10 × $0.25 = $2.51
• Full FTSE 100 sweep (100 names): $0.01 + 100 × $0.25 = $25.01
• FTSE 350 with fundamentals (350 names): $0.01 + 350 × $0.25 = $87.51
• Full LSE main market (~500 native UK names): $0.01 + 500 × $0.25 = $125.01

For comparison, a single Bloomberg Terminal seat is ~$24,000/year. This actor delivers the equivalent UK equity coverage at well under 1% of that, with no contract and no minimum.

FAQ

Why pence, not pounds? Because that's how the London Stock Exchange officially quotes UK equities. A 1,319.80 pence quote for HSBA = £13.20 per share. We expose both fields so you can use whichever matches your downstream system.

What about ADRs and dual-listings? By default we filter out International Order Book (IOB) ADRs to keep the universe clean for "UK companies only" use cases. If you want them too, set index=LSE-all and we'll keep both native and IOB tickers (those will show is_native_uk=false).

FTSE 100 changes — how fresh is your constituent list? The embedded list is updated periodically. Index membership reshuffles happen quarterly. If you need rigorous index-membership audit trails for compliance, cross-check against the official FTSE Russell quarterly index review.

Rate limits / blocking? We use Apify's datacenter proxy by default. Stockanalysis.com is generally cooperative. If you hit any limit, switch to RESIDENTIAL group in proxy config.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes — every Apify actor supports cron scheduling. Run it at 5:00 PM London time daily for a market-close snapshot.
