Valuation
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Market Cap | The total market value of a company's outstanding shares. It is calculated by multiplying the share price by the number of shares outstanding. |
| Market Cap Growth | Shows how the company's market value has changed over time. Changes can result from the share price, share count or both. |
| Enterprise Value (EV) | An estimate of the value of the entire operating business regardless of how it is financed. It generally adjusts market capitalization for debt and cash. |
| Last Close Price | The price at which the stock most recently finished a trading session. It is often used as the reference price for valuation ratios. |
Price Ratios
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| P/E Ratio | Compares the share price with earnings per share. It shows how much investors are paying for each unit of current earnings. |
| Forward P/E | Compares the current share price with expected future earnings. It depends on forecasts, so its usefulness depends on how accurate those expectations are. |
| PEG Ratio | Compares the P/E ratio with expected earnings growth. It attempts to show whether a stock's valuation is reasonable relative to its growth rate. |
| P/S Ratio | Compares the company's market value with its revenue. It is especially useful for companies whose profits are small, volatile or currently negative. |
| Forward P/S | Compares the company's current market value with expected future revenue. It values the business using forecast sales rather than historical sales. |
| P/B Ratio | Compares the company's market value with its accounting book value. It is most useful when book value is economically meaningful, such as for many financial companies. |
| P/TBV Ratio | Compares the company's market value with tangible book value after intangible assets are removed. It provides a stricter version of the traditional P/B ratio. |
| P/FCF Ratio | Compares the company's market value with the free cash flow it generates. It shows how much investors are paying for each unit of free cash flow. |
| P/OCF Ratio | Compares the company's market value with operating cash flow. It values the business using cash generated from operations rather than accounting earnings. |
Enterprise Value Ratios
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| EV/Sales Ratio | Compares enterprise value with revenue. It is useful when comparing companies with different levels of debt and cash. |
| EV/EBITDA Ratio | Compares enterprise value with EBITDA. It is widely used to compare business valuations while reducing the impact of financing and non-cash depreciation expenses. |
| EV/EBIT Ratio | Compares enterprise value with EBIT. Unlike EV/EBITDA, it includes the economic effect of depreciation and amortization. |
| EV/FCF Ratio | Compares enterprise value with free cash flow. It shows how much the entire business is valued relative to the cash it generates after capital expenditures. |
Debt & Solvency
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Debt / Equity Ratio | Compares total debt with shareholders' equity. A higher ratio generally means the business relies more heavily on borrowed money. |
| Debt / EBITDA Ratio | Compares total debt with EBITDA. Lower values generally indicate that debt is easier to support using the company's operating earnings. |
| Debt / FCF Ratio | Compares debt with free cash flow. It roughly indicates how many years of current FCF would be needed to repay the debt if all of it were used for that purpose. |
| Net Debt / Equity Ratio | Compares debt after subtracting cash with shareholders' equity. It provides a clearer picture of leverage when the company holds significant cash reserves. |
| Net Debt / EBITDA Ratio | Compares net debt with EBITDA. It is commonly used to evaluate how manageable a company's debt burden is relative to operating performance. |
| Net Debt / FCF Ratio | Compares net debt with free cash flow. Lower values generally indicate greater ability to repay net debt using internally generated cash. |
| Interest Coverage | Shows how many times operating earnings can cover interest expense. A higher ratio generally indicates a larger safety cushion for debt payments. |
Liquidity
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Current Ratio | Current assets divided by current liabilities. It shows the company's ability to cover short-term obligations using short-term assets. |
| Quick Ratio | Liquid current assets divided by current liabilities, usually excluding inventory. It measures short-term financial strength without assuming inventory must be sold. |
Operating Efficiency
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Asset Turnover | Measures how much revenue the company generates from its asset base. A higher ratio generally means assets are being used more efficiently. |
| Inventory Turnover | Shows how often inventory is sold and replaced during a period. Higher turnover can indicate efficient inventory management, although excessively high levels may signal insufficient stock. |
Returns on Capital
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Return on Equity (ROE) | Measures how much profit the company generates relative to shareholders' equity. High ROE can indicate efficient use of shareholder capital, but heavy debt can artificially increase it. |
| Return on Assets (ROA) | Measures how effectively the company uses its assets to generate profit. A higher ROA generally means more profit is being produced from each unit of assets. |
| Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) | Measures how efficiently the company generates operating returns from the capital invested in the business. ROIC above the company's cost of capital generally indicates value creation. |
| Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) | Measures operating profitability relative to the capital employed in the business. It is particularly useful when comparing capital-intensive companies. |
| Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) | Estimates the average return required by the company's debt and equity investors. Comparing ROIC with WACC helps show whether the company is creating or destroying economic value. |
Margins
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Pretax Margin | Pretax income expressed as a percentage of revenue. It shows how much profit remains from sales before income taxes are deducted. |
| Profit Margin | Net income expressed as a percentage of revenue. It shows how much final profit the company keeps from each dollar of sales. |
| EBITDA Margin | EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenue. It shows operating profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. |
| EBIT Margin | EBIT expressed as a percentage of revenue. It shows how much operating profit remains after depreciation and amortization but before interest and taxes. |
| FCF Margin | Free cash flow expressed as a percentage of revenue. It shows how much of each dollar of sales becomes free cash after capital expenditures. |
Employee Efficiency
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Revenue Per Employee | Total revenue divided by the number of employees. It provides a simple way to compare workforce productivity between similar companies. |
| Profit Per Employee | Net income divided by the number of employees. It shows how much profit the company generates on average for each employee. |
| Employee Count | The total number of people employed by the company. Combined with revenue or profit, it helps put workforce efficiency into context. |
Yields & Shareholder Returns
| Metric | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Earnings Yield | Earnings relative to the company's market value and essentially the inverse of the P/E ratio. It shows how much accounting profit is generated for each unit of market value. |
| FCF Yield | Free cash flow divided by the company's market value. It shows how much free cash flow the business generates relative to the price investors are paying. |
| Dividend Yield | Annual dividend per share expressed as a percentage of the current share price. It represents the cash dividend return an investor receives at the current price. |
| Payout Ratio | The percentage of earnings paid to shareholders as dividends. A lower ratio leaves more earnings available for reinvestment, debt reduction or buybacks. |
| Buyback Yield / Dilution | Measures the effect of share repurchases or new share issuance on shareholders. Positive buyback yield generally means the share count is shrinking, while dilution means ownership is being spread across more shares. |
| Total Shareholder Yield | Combines dividends with the effect of share buybacks or issuance. It provides a broader view of how much capital the company is returning to shareholders. |
