The StockRanks Styles label a company according to how it stacks up using the Quality, Value and Momentum Ranks, while the Risk Ratings sort markets into quintiles according to a measure of normalised three-year volatility.

There are two Composite StockRanks which combine 3 or more of the basic Quality, Value, Momentum and Growth Ranks. The StockRank - which rates companies according to an equally weighted combination of the ValueRank, GrowthRank and MomentumRank, and the QVGM Rank - which adds the growth factor into the mix.

The three Crossover StockRanks blend the basic Quality, Value and Momentum StockRanks in various ways. They are: the QV Rank - which blends the Quality Rank and Value Rank, the VM Rank - which blends the Value Rank and Momentum Rank, and the QM Rank - which blends the Quality Rank and Momentum Rank. Each of these crossover ranks are designed to take advantage of powerful investing factors.

Stockopedia's proprietary StockRanks™ are designed to assess stocks using the principles of factor-investing. We use a multi-factor approach to create rankings across quality, value and momentum. Our basic ranks are the QualityRank, ValueRank &amp; MomentumRank which are then combined in various ways into composites. We provide a range of combinations of these basic rankings as crossover ranks and composite ranks.

StockRanks

Stockopedia's Quality Rankings are a unique way of assessing a company's overall profitability, stability and financial trend. These standardised fields allow an easier comparability between peers. The Quality Rank and its relations, the QV Rank (Quality + Value) and QM Rank (Quality + Momentum) classify enterprises according to the strength of their company franchise (profit margins &amp; cash generation), company risk (bankruptcy risk &amp; volatility) and financial health (Piotroski F-Score).

Quality Rankings

Profitability Ratios measure how effectively a company turns its capital (equity or assets) into earnings and free cashflow. Profitability metrics that we list at Stockopedia include the Return on Equity, Return on Capital Employed, and Return on Assets amongst others.

Profit Margins - including the Gross Profit Margin, Operating Profit Margin, and Net Profit Margin - are important indicators of a company's overall profitability.

Many frauds report consecutive quarters of earnings growth before abruptly going bankrupt. Earnings Quality Ratios can help to identify such stocks before disaster strikes. Metrics such as the Accrual Ratio, the Beneish M-Score and the Montier C-Score are a good way to spot red flags and potential earnings manipulation.

The Financial Health Trend of a company is an important leading indicator of future stock performance. Stockopedia lists the Piotroski F-Score as the primary financial health trend indicator. The F score itself is composed of nine criteria and conveys a lot of information at a glance. The F-Score was created to identify companies with improving financial positions and takes into account cash generation, profitability, indebtedness, productivity, and pricing power.

Share Dilution is an important aspect of investment to track but can easily be ignored in the face of more obvious trends such as sales growth. In general less dilutive companies have been shown to be stronger investments over the longer term. Stockopedia lists the percentage change in diluted average shares outstanding, which looks at the year-on-year change in a firm's weighted average number of shares and shows the impact of rights issues, share placings, and share buybacks.

Quality Ratios allow an investor to understand the profitability of a company and its ability to defend its competitive operating advantages over time. Basic economics dictates that if one company identifies a profitable niche with low barriers to entry, it will attract competitors that take market share by whittling away at profit margins (i.e. undercutting on price) over time. High quality companies often have brands or proprietary technology that give them strong pricing power and a market-leading position. Stockopedia provides a range of Quality factors across profitability, margins, efficiency, liquidity and more.

The Value Rankings are Stockopedia's proprietary approach to measuring the value of stocks. Stockopedia's Value Rank is based on an equal weighted blend of traditional value ratios including the P/B, P/E, P/S, P/FCF, Earnings Yield and Dividend Yield. The QV Rank (Quality + Value) and VM Rank (Value + Momentum) are equally weighted combinations of Stockopedia's Quality and Value Ranks and Value and Momentum Ranks respectively.

Value Rankings

The Price to Income Ratios section contains some of the most commonly used valuation multiples and measures that compare a company's share price against common measures of earnings. These include the price to earnings ratio (P/E ratio), the price to sales ratio (P/S ratio) and the PEG ratio and its variants. The cyclically adjusted price to earnings ratio (CAPE) or Shiller P/E is a popular long run valuation ratio that divides the share price by the average of the past 10 years' earnings data.

Price to Cashflow Ratios allow a comparison of a company's valuation against is ability to generate cash. Stockopedia lists price to free cashflow (P/FCF), price to operating cashflow (P/CFO) and price to cash flow growth (P/CF Growth), which is similar to the PEG ratio. The operating cashflow yield (OCF yield) is similar to the earnings yield but strips out non-cash income and expenses and certain one-off items.

This allows companies with different capital structures to be compared. The Earnings Yield is a measure of how much a company earns relative to its Enterprise Value, while EV/EBIT, EV, EBITDA, EV/Sales and EV/FCF are all widely-used relative valuation multiples.

Valuation Ratios provide a means to compare the price of a company's shares against some measure of fundamental value (for example earnings, sales or assets). These ratios are useful rules of thumb for comparing companies against their peer groups to assess their relative cheapness. Stockopedia includes a range of price &amp; enterprise value based ratios in both standard ratio and inverted yield formats.
