About StockGrade.com's grading system:
StockGrade.com's grading system is totally computerized and all grades are assigned by computer without the use of human intervention. For a Company to achieve a particular grade its historical financial data must meet all qualifications for the respective grading criteria which are set and monitored by computer. Financial data for each Company is gathered from Securities & Exchange Commission filings and several other sources and is updated on a quarterly basis. This grading system is designed to favor companies which show historical sales and earnings growth over cyclical companies which have earnings and sales peaks that conform to general economic conditions.
