Stock Scoring Methodology

What the score is for

The score is a screening aid. It helps compare companies with a consistent set of valuation, growth, profitability, dividend and cash-flow checks. It is not a personalized recommendation, price target, forecast or guarantee of future performance.

A high score means the available data passed more of the model's checks. It does not mean the stock is suitable for every investor, correctly priced or supported by complete source data.

Fundamental score components

• Growth (CAGR): positive revenue growth receives more points as growth rises, with the top bucket at 15% or higher.
• Dividend yield: positive yield receives more points as yield rises, with the top bucket at 7% or higher.
• P/E ratio: lower positive valuation receives more points; very high valuation receives fewer points.
• Profit margin: positive margin receives more points as profitability improves.
• Return on equity: positive ROE receives more points as capital efficiency improves.
• Cash flow: profitable companies with positive cash flow score highest; losses and cash outflow score lowest.

The growth evaluation combines revenue growth, dividend yield and P/E ratio. The profitability and cash-flow evaluation combines profit margin, ROE and cash-flow strength. The total score is the sum of the visible component scores.

Technical score components

Technical analysis is shown separately from the fundamental score. It describes trend, momentum, volume, volatility, support, resistance and data quality. Read the two scores together because a financially strong company can have weak price momentum, while a strong technical setup can still have weak fundamentals.

• Trend: moving averages and price position.
• Momentum: RSI and MACD-style indicators.
• Volume confirmation: recent volume versus historical average.
• Price structure: support, resistance, and range position.
• Volatility and risk: ATR-style movement and controlled price behavior.

Data labels and limitations

Prices, fundamentals, calendars, classifications and corporate actions can be delayed, adjusted, missing or revised by providers. Currency, share class, reporting period, restatements and provider methodology can materially change a comparison.

When a field is missing or invalid, the score may show zero for that component rather than inventing a neutral value. Always verify decision-critical figures against exchange notices, regulator filings, issuer reports, or another primary source.

Corrections and updates

If you find a likely data or calculation issue, send the page URL, ticker, affected field, expected value, and source link through the contact page. We review factual corrections and related pages when an issue could change the meaning of a screen or score.

Scoring rules can evolve as the product improves. When a scoring change materially affects interpretation, this page should be updated before the new labels are relied on in public research pages.
