Help & Metrics Reference

How much investors pay per dollar of the last twelve months of earnings. Lower often means cheaper, but can also signal low growth expectations or distress.

Same as trailing P/E but uses analyst earnings estimates for the next twelve months. More forward-looking; useful when earnings are recovering or growing fast.

Adjusts P/E for growth rate. A PEG of 1 is considered fairly valued; below 1 may indicate undervaluation relative to growth pace.

Compares market price to the net asset value on the balance sheet. Below 1 means the market prices the company under its book assets. Common in financials and asset-heavy industries.

Price-to-Sales. Useful for pre-profit companies or when earnings are volatile. Lower is generally cheaper on a revenue basis.

Compares total company value (equity + net debt) to operating cash flow proxy. Capital-structure neutral — ideal for comparing leveraged companies across industries.

Like P/S but uses Enterprise Value, making it capital-structure neutral. Useful for high-growth or negative-EBITDA companies.

Earnings per share over the trailing twelve months. Absolute measure of how much the company earned for each share. Negative means the company is loss-making.

Analyst consensus estimate for EPS over the next twelve months. Compare to trailing EPS to gauge expected earnings trajectory.

How much free cash the company generates relative to its market cap — the "cash earnings yield." Higher is more attractive for value-oriented investors.

Percentage of revenue that converts to free cash flow. Measures capital efficiency — companies with high FCF margins can self-fund growth or return cash to shareholders.

Leverage ratio: how many years of operating cash flow it would take to pay off net debt. Negative means net cash. Key for assessing bankruptcy risk and debt capacity.

Absolute leverage position. Negative value (net cash) means the company holds more cash than debt, a sign of financial strength.

The percentage of revenue that becomes net profit after all expenses, taxes, and interest. A core measure of overall business profitability.

Profit margin before interest and taxes. Reflects core operational efficiency, stripping out financing decisions and tax effects.

Return on Equity — how efficiently the company generates profits from shareholders' capital. A primary measure of management's ability to create value.

Return on Assets — how efficiently the company uses its total asset base to generate earnings. Useful for comparing capital-intensive businesses.

Year-over-year revenue growth rate. Top-line growth is fundamental for compounding returns, especially when combined with stable or improving margins.

Year-over-year earnings per share growth. Earnings growth that exceeds revenue growth indicates improving operational efficiency or leverage.

The 50-day simple moving average. Price above SMA 50 is a short-term bullish signal; below is bearish. The percentage deviation shown indicates how far the current price is from this level.

The 200-day simple moving average. The most widely watched long-term trend indicator. Price crossing above (golden cross) or below (death cross) the SMA 200 is a major signal for institutional traders.

Measures volatility relative to the broad market. Beta > 1 means the stock moves more than the market (higher risk/reward). Beta < 1 is more defensive. Negative beta hedges against market declines.

Average daily trading volume over the last 30 days. Low volume stocks have wider bid-ask spreads and higher execution risk. Important for position sizing.

Financial leverage ratio comparing total debt to equity. Higher ratios mean more debt-funded operations, increasing financial risk but potentially boosting returns. Varies widely by industry.

Liquidity ratio measuring ability to cover short-term obligations. Below 1 means current liabilities exceed current assets — a potential liquidity warning.

Annual dividend income as a percentage of current share price. Higher yield can signal income attractiveness, but extremely high yields may indicate a dividend cut risk.

Fraction of earnings paid out as dividends. High payout ratios (> 80%) leave little room for reinvestment or maintaining dividends during earnings downturns.

Total shares outstanding including all share classes. Used to compute per-share metrics. Rising share count dilutes existing shareholders; buybacks reduce it.

Percentage of shares held by directors and executives. High insider ownership aligns management interests with shareholders. Significant insider selling can be a warning sign.

Percentage owned by funds, banks, and other institutions. High institutional ownership provides liquidity and signals professional conviction, but also creates selling pressure if sentiment shifts.

Aggregated analyst recommendation score on a 1–5 scale. 1–2 is bullish, 3 is neutral, 4–5 is bearish. Based on all covering analysts weighted equally.

Average price target across all covering analysts for the next 12 months. The implied upside/downside vs. current price is a key signal, though targets are frequently revised.

Spread between the most pessimistic and optimistic analyst price targets. A wide range reflects high uncertainty or divergent views on the company outlook.

Number of analysts providing coverage. More analysts means better-known, more liquid stocks. Fewer than 3–5 analysts can mean limited information and higher information asymmetry.

Total equity market value of the company. Used to classify size: micro-cap (< €300M), small-cap (€300M–€2B), mid-cap (€2B–€10B), large-cap (> €10B).

The theoretical acquisition price — what it would cost to buy the entire business including its debt, net of cash. Capital-structure neutral; essential for EV-based multiples.

Highest and lowest closing price over the last 52 weeks. Trading near the 52-week high can signal momentum; near the low may indicate distress or opportunity, depending on context.
