EPS Rank - Measures a company's earnings per share growth in the last
5 years and the stability of that growth. The %change in the last two
quarters' earnings vs. same quarters a year earlier is combined and
averaged with the 5 year record. Result is compared to all companies
in the tables and ranked on a scale of 1 to 99, with 99 the highest. A
90 rank means the company produced earnings in the top 10%. Companies
with superior earnings records rank 80 or higher.
Relative Price Strength - Measures daily each stock's relative price
change over the last 12 months compared to all other stocks in the
tables. Results are ranked 1 to 99. Stocks ranking below 70 indicate
weaker or more laggard relative performance.
Group Rank - Industry Group Relative Strength Rating compares the
stock's industry group price performance over the past 6 months to
the other 196 industry groups. A = top 20%, B = top 40%, etc. with
E = bottom 20%.
Sales/Profit Margins/ROE - Rating combines into one simple A to E
rating ('A' being best, represents the top 20% of all stocks), four
fundamental factors used by all analysts today...a company's sales
growth rate over the last 3 quarters, before- and after-tax margins,
and return on equity. Sales growth and after-tax margins are computed
using quarterly figures, and ROE and pre-tax margins are annual. All
four factors take into account acceleration (rate of increase).
Accumulation Distribution - Rating takes into account the percent
change in a stock's daily price and its volume. "A" is strongest "E"
is weakest. Accumulation-Distribution should be used with other
fundamental and technical factors to determine investment decisions.
