Stock Ratings Overview

While the future remains unpredictable, historical data offers the most reliable framework for identifying likely market scenarios.

The Stock Ratings facility provides investors with a straightforward percentile rank, grading a company against its specific industry group. This rating is derived from a weighted summation of various component ranks, including operational performance, balance sheet strength, efficiency, valuation, and momentum. To ensure a balanced view, the tool considers both the company’s raw performance and the historical volatility of that performance.

In addition to individual company grades, Stock Ratings provide critical context on the momentum and price performance of the underlying industry and sector. This allow you to determine if a company is currently benefiting from market “tailwinds” or facing broader sectoral “headwinds.”

Note: Stock Ratings are currently limited to U.S. stocks and are updated nightly. For a more in-depth discussion on the methodology, please visit our detailed blog post.
