After the P/E ratio, it’s one of the most common valuation metrics. The VGM Score are a complementary set of indicators to use alongside the Zacks Rank. It allows the user to better focus on the stocks that are the best fit for his or her personal trading style. The Style Scores are a complementary set of indicators to use alongside the Zacks Rank. COST is a funding organisation for research and innovation networks. COST Actions are bottom-up networks with a duration of four years that boost research, innovation and careers.

Like earnings, a higher growth rate is better than a lower growth rate. Seeing a company’s projected sales growth instantly tells you what the outlook is for their products and services. As a point of reference, over the last 10 years, the median sales growth for the stocks in the S&P 500 was 14%.

And margin rates can vary significantly across these different groups. So, when comparing one stock to another in a different industry, it’s best make relative comparisons to that stock’s respective industry values. Note; companies will typically sell for more than their book value in much the same way that a company will sell at a multiple of its earnings. While a P/B of less than 3 would mean it’s trading at a discount to the market, different industries have different median P/B values. So, as with other valuation metrics, it’s a good idea to compare it to its relevant industry.

The Growth Scorecard evaluates sales and earnings growth along with other important growth measures. This includes measuring aspects of the Income Statement, Statement of Cash Flows, the Balance Sheet, and more. Some of the items you’ll see in this category might look very familiar, while other items might be quite new to some. The Value Scorecard identifies the stocks most likely to outperform based on its valuation metrics. This list of both classic and unconventional valuation items helps separate which stocks are overvalued, rightly lowly valued, and temporarily undervalued which are poised to move higher.

Some investors seek out stocks with the best percentage price change over the last 52 weeks, expecting that momentum to continue. Others look for those that have lagged the market, believing those are the ones ripe for the biggest increases to come. If a company’s net margin is 15%, for example, that means its net income is 15 cents for every $1 of sales the company makes. A change in margin can reflect either a change in business conditions, or a company’s cost controls, or both. If a company’s expenses are growing faster than their sales, this will reduce their margins. But note, different industries have different margin rates that are considered good.

Cash is vital to a company in order to finance operations, invest in the business, pay expenses, etc. Since cash can’t be manipulated like earnings can, it’s a preferred metric for analysts. A stock with a P/E ratio of 20, for example, is said to be trading at 20 times its annual earnings. In general, a lower number or multiple is usually considered better that a higher one.

This is useful for obvious reasons, but can also put the current day’s intraday gains into better context by knowing if the recently completed trading day was up or down. A ratio of 1 means a company’s assets are equal to its liabilities. Less than 1 means its liabilities exceed its short-term assets (cash, inventory, receivables, etc.). A ratio of 2 means its assets are twice that of its liabilities.

Within the Finance Sector, it would fall into the M Industry of Banks & Thrifts. And within the M Industry, it might further be delineated into the X Industry group called Banks Northeast. This allows the investor to be as broad or as specific as they want to be when selecting stocks.

It takes the consensus estimate for the current fiscal year divided by the EPS for the last completed fiscal year . The Earnings Yield (also known as the E/P ratio) measures the anticipated yield an investment in a stock could give you based on the earnings and the price paid. The Price to Sales ratio or P/S is calculated as price divided by sales.

Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. A higher number means the company has more debt to equity, whereas a lower number means it has less debt to equity. A D/E ratio of 1 means its debt is equivalent to its common equity. When comparing this ratio to different stocks in different industries, take note that some businesses are more capital intensive than others. A D/E ratio of 2 might be par for the course in one industry, while 0.50 would be considered normal for another.

The Cash/Price ratio is calculated as cash and marketable securities per share divided by the stock price. The X Industry values displayed in this column are the median values for all of the stocks within their respective industry. When evaluating a stock, it can be useful to compare it to its industry as a point of reference. The Momentum Scorecard focuses on price and earnings momentum and indicates when the timing is right to enter a stock.

A higher number is better than a lower one as it shows how effective a company is at generating revenue from its assets. A sales/assets ratio of 2.50 means the company generated $2.50 in revenue for every $1.00 of assets on its books. This shows the percentage of profit a company earns on its sales. Debt to Capital (or D/C ratio) is the fraction of debt (including mortgages and long-term leases) to long-term capitalization. This ratio essentially compares the P/E to its growth rate, thus, for many, telling a more complete story than just the P/E ratio alone. The Momentum Scorecard table also displays the values for its respective Industry along with the values and Momentum Score of its three closest peers.

Since there is a fair amount of discretion in what’s included and not included in the ‘ITDA’ portion of this calculation, it is considered a non-GAAP metric. The EV/EBITDA ratio is a valuation multiple and is often used in addition, or as an alternative, to the P/E ratio. And like the P/E ratio, a lower number is typically considered ‘better’ than a higher number. At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system.

The Zacks Equity Research reports, or ZER for short, are our in-house, independently produced research reports. The industry with the best average Zacks Rank would be considered the top industry , which would place it in the top 1% of Zacks Ranked Industries. The industry with the worst average Zacks Rank would place in the bottom 1%. An industry with a larger percentage of Zacks Rank #1’s and #2’s will have a better average Zacks Rank than one with a larger percentage of Zacks Rank #4’s and #5’s.

For one, part of trading is being able to get in and out of a stock easily. If the volume is too light, in absolute terms or for a relatively large position, it could be difficult to execute a trade. This is also useful to know when comparing a stock’s daily volume (which can be found on a ticker’s hover-quote) to that of its average volume. A rising stock on above average volume is typically a bullish sign whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. It’s typically categorized as a valuation metric and is most often quoted as Cash Flow per Share and as a Price to Cash flow ratio. In this case, it’s the cash flow growth that’s being looked at.

Current Cash Flow Growth measures the percent change in the year over year Cash Flow. Cash Flow is net income plus depreciation and other non-cash charges. A strong cash flow is important for covering interest payments, particularly for highly leveraged companies. Debt to Equity (or D/E ratio) is total liabilities divided by total shareholder equity.

So it’s a good idea to compare a stock’s debt to equity ratio to its industry to see how it stacks up to its peers first. If a stock’s Q1 estimate revision decreases leading up to its earnings release, that’s usually a negative sign, whereas an increase is typically a positive sign. In contrast, the net income that goes into the earnings portion of the P/E ratio does not add these in, thus artificially reducing the income and skewing the P/E ratio. Our testing substantiates this with the optimum range for price performance between 0-20.
