Stock Reports Plus , powered by Refinitiv, is a comprehensive report that evaluates five key components of 4,000+ listed stocks – earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk, and price momentum – to generate standardised scores. The simple average of the above-mentioned five component ratings is normally distributed to reach an average score.
Each stock is ranked on a scale of 1 to 10. A score of 8 to 10 is considered positive, 4 to 7 is neutral, and 1 to 3 is given a negative outlook. In addition to scores, the report also contains trend analysis, peer analysis, and mean analysts’ recommendations. We have filtered stocks with an overall positive outlook, i.e., an average score of 8-10 for this report.
Earnings rating is calculated based on three factors – Earnings Surprises, Estimate Revisions, and Recommendation Changes. Profitability, debt, earnings quality, and dividend trends are evaluated under the fundamentals component in the report.
Relative valuation has three components – price to sales (50% weight), trailing PE (25% weight) and forward PE (25% weight). These metrics are evaluated against the overall market, index, and the company’s own historic five-year averages.
Risk score evaluates a series of long-term (five-year) and short-term (90-day) stock performance measures, including volatility, magnitude of returns, beta, and correlation. Price momentum rating is based on a combination of two technical performance factors: Relative strength (70% weight) and seasonality (30% weight).
