"Which large companies are near their 52-week high?" is a good screen. "Show me good stocks" is not. A screener only narrows a list; it does not judge a business.
Useful filters
Distance from the 52-week high finds strength or deep dips. One-year return shows long trends. Value traded tells you if a stock is liquid enough to buy and sell easily.
