Sector
The broad industry group the company belongs to (e.g. Technology, Energy).
Every figure in the screener is computed from raw financial-statement data — the line items companies actually report. Where a definition involves a choice, we make it explicitly and document it here.
Ratios use trailing twelve months unless stated otherwise. A blank cell means we could not compute the figure honestly, not that the value is zero.

Latest share price. Shows the live intraday price and % change when available, otherwise the most recent close.
A 6-month sparkline of the daily closing price — a quick read on recent price trend.
Market capitalization: share price × shares outstanding. The total equity value the market assigns the company.
Beta: how much the stock moves relative to the overall market. 1.0 = moves with the market; higher = more volatile.
What you pay for each dollar of earnings, sales, book value or cash. All price-based figures recompute against a live quote when a screen returns 200 results or fewer.
Price / Earnings: share price ÷ trailing 12-month EPS. How many dollars you pay per dollar of annual earnings. Lower is cheaper.
Forward P/E: share price ÷ next-year consensus analyst EPS estimate. Forward-looking valuation. Often null for thinly-covered names.
Price / Book: share price ÷ book value per share. How the market values the company vs. its net assets on the books.
Price / Sales: market cap ÷ trailing 12-month revenue. Useful for unprofitable companies where P/E is meaningless.
Price / Free Cash Flow: market cap ÷ trailing free cash flow. Like P/E but using actual cash generated.
Enterprise Value / EBITDA: (market cap + debt − cash) ÷ EBITDA. A capital-structure-neutral valuation multiple.
Enterprise Value / Sales: (market cap + net debt) ÷ trailing revenue. Valuation relative to sales, including debt. Blank when enterprise value is negative — common for banks, where reported cash includes the securities portfolio.
Free Cash Flow Yield: trailing free cash flow ÷ market cap. The cash return on the equity price. Higher is better.
Earnings Yield: trailing EPS ÷ share price (the inverse of P/E). Higher is cheaper.
How much of each sales dollar the business keeps, and how hard the capital behind it works. Every margin uses trailing twelve months.
Gross Margin: (revenue − cost of goods sold) ÷ revenue. The profit left after direct production costs.
EBITDA Margin: EBITDA ÷ revenue. Operating profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Operating Margin: operating income ÷ trailing revenue. Profitability from core operations, before interest and taxes.
Net Margin: net income ÷ revenue. The bottom-line profit kept from each dollar of sales.
Return on Equity: trailing net income ÷ average shareholders’ equity. How efficiently the company turns equity into profit. Blank when equity is negative, where the ratio would invert and mislead.
Return on Assets: trailing net income ÷ average total assets. How efficiently the company turns its asset base into profit.
Return on Invested Capital: operating profit after a flat 21% tax ÷ average invested capital (debt + equity − cash). Whether the business earns more than its capital costs. A flat statutory rate is used rather than each company’s effective rate, which is noisy year to year for small caps.
Leverage and short-term solvency, from the most recent quarterly balance sheet.
Net Debt / Equity: (interest-bearing debt − cash and short-term investments) ÷ shareholders’ equity, period-end. Uses borrowings and leases only — supplier credit and deferred revenue are not leverage. Lower is safer; NEGATIVE means the company holds more cash than debt, which is a strength.
Current Ratio: current assets ÷ current liabilities. Ability to cover short-term obligations. Above 1 is healthier.
Year-over-year figures use trailing twelve months against the same twelve months a year earlier, so a slowdown shows up as it happens rather than eight months later. Three-year CAGRs use audited full fiscal years. All of them stay blank when the base period was a loss — growth measured from a loss is a turnaround, not a growth rate.
Revenue growth: latest trailing twelve months vs. the same twelve months a year earlier. TTM rather than fiscal year, so a slowdown shows up as it happens. Blank when the base period was a loss — growth from a loss is a turnaround, not a growth rate.
Revenue 3-year compound annual growth rate, on audited full fiscal years. A small base year can produce very large percentages — read alongside the absolute figures.
EPS growth: latest trailing twelve months vs. the same twelve months a year earlier. Blank when the base period was a loss.
EPS 3-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
Net income growth: latest trailing twelve months vs. the same twelve months a year earlier. Blank when the base period was a loss.
Net income 3-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
EBITDA growth: latest trailing twelve months vs. the same twelve months a year earlier. Blank when the base period was a loss.
EBITDA 3-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
Free cash flow growth: latest trailing twelve months vs. the same twelve months a year earlier. Blank when the base period was negative.
Free cash flow 3-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
