Risk & Weakness

Beneish M-Score

Only genuine hits from verified scanners count; pure ranking metrics (P/E, P/S, and similar, which just sort the whole universe) don't count as a hit. Scanners marked in red are red-flag signals (risk/short scanners) — appearing there is not a seal of approval. View all scanners

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.
