The glossary

Every number on the screen, defined.

What each column and ratio actually means and how it's calculated — no jargon, no mystery math. Values marked N/A throughout the app mean the underlying figure couldn't be resolved for that company, never that it's zero.

Core financials Valuation & snapshot Screening ratios Technical signals

Core financials

The raw building blocks, tracked for the four most recent quarters (Q0, most recent, through Q3, oldest) plus a trailing-twelve-month (TTM) total.

Total AssetsAssets
Everything the company owns, at book value, for that quarter.
Current AssetsCash + receivables + inventory, etc.
The portion of Total Assets expected to convert to cash within a year.
Total LiabilitiesAssets − Equity (when not directly reported)
Everything the company owes. Backed into from Assets and Equity for filers that don't report it as a single line.
Current LiabilitiesDebts due, obligations due, etc.
The portion of Total Liabilities coming due within a year.
Total Shareholder EquityAssets − Liabilities
The company's book value — what would theoretically be left for shareholders after paying every debt.
Shares Outstanding
Total shares currently held by all shareholders, used to turn company-wide totals into per-share figures.
Revenue
Total sales for the quarter, before any costs are subtracted.
Operating Income
Profit from core operations — revenue minus operating costs, before interest and taxes.
Net Income
The bottom line — what's left after every expense, interest payment, and tax.
Operating Cash Flow (OCF)
Actual cash generated by the business, before investing or financing activity — the check on whether "profit" is real cash.
Free Cash Flow (FCF)Operating Cash Flow − Capital Expenditures
Cash left over after the spending needed just to maintain and grow the business.
Dividends Paid
Total cash paid out to shareholders that quarter.
Interest Expense
What the company paid in interest on its debt that quarter.
MinValue(Equity + OCF + Dividends Paid) ÷ Shares Outstanding
A conservative floor on per-share worth — book value plus the cash the business actually throws off. The TTM version sums OCF and dividends across four quarters against the latest quarter's equity and share count.

Valuation & snapshot

Point-in-time figures using today's price against the fundamentals above.

Market Cap (Current)Shares Outstanding × Last Price
What the market currently values the whole company at.
Enterprise Value (Current)Market Cap + Total Debt − Cash & Equivalents
The theoretical cost to buy the whole company outright, debt included, cash netted out.
EV — GranularEnterprise Value, also netting Preferred Stock and Minority Interest
A stricter Enterprise Value for companies with preferred shares (permanent or mezzanine) or minority-owned subsidiaries, both of which have a prior claim ahead of common shareholders.
EV Granular / Sales (TTM)EV — Granular ÷ Revenue (TTM)
What you're paying for each dollar of trailing-year sales, on the stricter Enterprise Value.
Profit Margin (TTM)Net Income (TTM) ÷ Revenue (TTM)
The share of every sales dollar that reaches the bottom line.
Operating Margin (TTM)Operating Income (TTM) ÷ Revenue (TTM)
The share of every sales dollar left after core operating costs, before interest and taxes.
Price / MinValue (MRQ & TTM)Last Price ÷ MinValue
This screener's headline cheapness ratio. Below 1.0 means the stock trades under its own conservative value floor.
LiquidityCurrent Assets > Current Liabilities
A yes/no check on short-term financial health. Shown as N/A, not false, when either side can't be resolved.
SolvencyTotal Assets > Total Liabilities
A yes/no check that the company isn't balance-sheet insolvent overall.
Solvency Ratio (MRQ & TTM)Operating Cash Flow ÷ Interest Expense
How many times over the business's cash flow could cover its interest bill. N/A when there's no interest expense to divide by.
Dividends / Share (MRQ, TTM, NTM)
Per-share dividend, most recent quarter and trailing year. NTM is simply MRQ × 4 — a projection, not a forecast.
52-Week High / Low, % Off Each
The highest and lowest closing price over the past year, and how far today's price sits from each.
20 / 50 / 200-Day SMA
Simple moving averages of closing price — the standard short-, medium-, and long-term trend lines.

Net Current Asset Value (NCAV)Current Assets − Total Liabilities
Graham's liquidation-value proxy — what's left for shareholders if you ignore every long-term and fixed asset entirely.
Liabilities / Assets
A leverage proxy used where a true Debt/Equity figure isn't available — the share of the company funded by obligations rather than equity.

Technical signals

Mechanical, moving-average–based patterns. Each comes in two windows — "Last 5 Days" (just triggered) and "Past Year" (triggered at any point in the last twelve months).

Golden Cross
The 50-day average crosses above the 200-day average — a classic bullish trend signal.
Bear Cross (Death Cross)
The 50-day average crosses below the 200-day average — a classic bearish trend signal.
Break Above / Below 50-Day
Price crosses above or below its own 50-day moving average.
Break Above / Below 200-Day
Price crosses above or below its own 200-day moving average.
Test 50-Day / Test 200-Day
Price approaches the moving average closely without fully crossing it.
Bear Bottom / Bull Top
A local reversal off a recent downtrend (Bear Bottom) or uptrend (Bull Top).
Golden Pattern (Past Year)
Several bullish signals lining up together over the past year, rather than any single crossover alone.
