Quick reads on growth, price, and stability

Share price

—

How much the share price has gained over the last year. The 5-year average is the typical yearly return over the past 5 years.

Will it grow?

The signs that the business is getting bigger and more profitable

Sales growth
—
How much the company's total sales went up (or down) over the last year. We show the 5-year average alongside so you can see if growth is steady, speeding up, or slowing down.
Profit growth
—
How much the company's profit per share went up over the last year, with the 5-year average shown next to it. Profit growing faster than sales usually means the business is getting more efficient.
Profit margin
—
Out of every $100 of sales, how much the company keeps as profit. Higher means they have pricing power and aren't getting squeezed by costs.
How well they use the money
—
A different question from 'is it expensive?'. P/E asks how much YOU pay for the stock. This one asks how good the COMPANY is at turning shareholder money into profit. 15% means they squeeze $15 of profit a year out of every $100 of shareholder money sitting in the business.

Is the price fair?

Whether you're paying a reasonable amount for what you get

Is it expensive?
—
How many dollars investors pay for $1 of yearly profit. 20× means $20 today for $1 of profit a year. Lower is usually cheaper. Compare to growth — fast growers can earn higher P/E.
Year's range
—
The lowest and highest the share has traded over the past year. If today's price is near the high, the stock is priced for optimism; near the low, sentiment is gloomier.

Is it healthy?

How stable the company is — and whether shareholders get cash back

Debt vs ownership
—
How much the company owes (debt) compared to what the shareholders own (equity). Above 1.0 means more borrowed than owned — high debt makes a company more fragile when times get tough.
Cash back to investors
—
If the company pays cash to shareholders, how much per year as a % of price. 3% means $3/year for every $100 invested. Many growth companies pay nothing and reinvest instead.

How big is it?

Company size
—
What the whole company is worth — share price times every share. The headline 'price tag' of the business.
