Fundamentals
A complete perspective of performance in one place.
Fundamentals looks at 20 critical financial analysis ratios in 5 different categories: Growth, Profit, Cash Flow, Key Ratios, and of course, Earnings.
We also take into account Quarter over Quarter, Year over Year, and Trailing Twelve Months’ (TTM) performance with our proprietary weighting formula. View historical data by clicking on the upper right corner buttons in each window.
Fundamentals is the slowest of The Score components to affect stocks, due to the limited times throughout the year data is released. Active investors would generally place more weight on Fundamentals than would a very short-term trader.
