Price
Dated 52-week rows are the highest and lowest CLOSE and the day each happened, which sits a little inside the intraday range a vendor quotes. Quotes are refreshed once a night — during a session the price above is the previous close.
Reading the stored fundamentals…
Is the price low against peers, cash flow and analyst targets?
2 of 6 checks could not be assessed (these checks do not apply to this sector).
Do analysts expect earnings and revenue to keep growing?
1 of 6 checks could not be assessed (there is no analyst coverage stored).
Has the business grown and earned good returns on its filed numbers?
2 of 6 checks could not be assessed (these checks do not apply to this sector).
Can the balance sheet carry its debt?
These checks do not apply to Financial Services: its balance sheet is the business, so the figures are not comparable.
Is the dividend decent, covered and steady?
Only 2 of 6 checks could be assessed because there is not enough stored history and these checks do not apply to this sector; 4 are needed.
An axis marked n/a has no vertex: it is left out of the shape rather than drawn as zero.
Each axis asks six plain questions of the stored data. A check that passes counts one. A check the stored data cannot answer is left out of the count, never counted as a fail, and an axis needs four answerable checks to show a result. Axes are never added together: there is no overall score. The thresholds are conventional rules of thumb and are blunt across sectors, so each check is listed with its rule and the figure it used.
