Understanding the Charts

Bar Charts (Distribution Charts)

Show how each stock compares for a specific metric. Higher bars indicate better values. Use these to quickly identify top performers in categories like P/E ratio, ROE, or Market Cap.

Scatter Plots (Relationship Charts)

Show relationships between two metrics. Bubble size represents market cap. Use these to find stocks with optimal combinations (e.g., low P/E with high ROE).

Line Charts (Historical Data)

Display price history over time. Click any stock in the results table to view its historical price movements.

Key Metrics Explained

P/E Ratio: Price-to-Earnings. Lower is generally better (cheaper relative to earnings).
ROE: Return on Equity. Higher is better (more efficient use of shareholder capital).
FCF Yield: Free Cash Flow Yield. Higher is better (more cash generation relative to price).
EV/EBITDA: Enterprise Value to EBITDA. Lower is generally better (cheaper relative to operating profit).
Revenue CAGR: Compound Annual Growth Rate. Higher indicates faster growth.
Current Ratio: Liquidity measure. Above 1.0 indicates good short-term financial health.
P/B Ratio: Price-to-Book ratio. Compares market value to book value. Lower may indicate undervaluation.
ROA: Return on Assets. Measures efficiency of asset utilization. Higher ROA indicates better asset management.
Gross Margin: Percentage of revenue remaining after cost of goods sold. Higher margins indicate better pricing power.
Net Margin: Percentage of revenue remaining as profit after all expenses. Higher is better for profitability.
Debt to Equity: Measures financial leverage. Lower debt is generally better for financial health.
Market Cap: Total market value of all outstanding shares. Useful for comparing company sizes.
