Valuation
P/E
Price-to-earnings ratio: how many years of profit does the stock cost? The lower, the cheaper the valuation. No earnings means no P/E.
10.6
Forward P/E
P/E based on expected earnings for the next 12 months instead of past earnings — analysts' bet on the future.
8.8
PEG
P/E divided by expected earnings growth: puts valuation in relation to growth. Around 1 is considered fair, well above that is pricey.
1.6
P/B
Price-to-book ratio: market value relative to book equity.
1.9
P/S
Price-to-sales ratio: market value divided by annual sales. Important for companies that aren't (yet) profitable.
2.9
EV/EBITDA
Enterprise value including debt (EV) relative to operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) — more comparable than P/E because debt counts too. Extreme values arise when EBITDA is near zero.
6.4
Price/FCF
Market value divided by free cash flow: how many years of freely available cash does the stock cost? More honest than P/E because cash flow is harder to dress up.
23.7
Profitability
Gross Margin
Gross margin: what's left of sales after only direct production costs are deducted — the product's pricing power.
64.1%
EBIT Margin
EBIT margin: operating profit as a percentage of sales — the earning power of the core business before interest and taxes.
42.0%
Net Margin
Net margin: what's left of sales as profit after ALL costs, interest, and taxes.

Equity Ratio
Equity ratio: equity as a share of total assets. The higher, the more resilient the balance sheet.
41.9%
Debt/Equity
Leverage ratio: financial debt divided by equity. Under 1 is generally seen as solid; negative values mean negative equity.

What Do These Terms Mean?
- EPS (Earnings Per Share):
- Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
- YoY (Year over Year):
- Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
- Sales:
- All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
- Net Margin:
- What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
- OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
- The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
- FCF (Free Cash Flow):
- Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
