Profile
|
Industry:
The first method of industry comparison, or sectoring, is using
SIC or the Standard Industrial Classification.
|
Sector,Index:
The second method of industry comparison, or sectoring, is using
industry groups and major-market indices-including the three Dow
Jones indices and their composite, the Nasdaq 100, and the S&P 500, 100 and 400.
| |
Market Cap:
The market "cap," capitalization or market value of a stock
is simply the market value of all outstanding shares. It is computed by
multiplying the market price by the number of outstanding shares.
|
For example, a publicly held company with 10 million shares
outstanding that trade at $10 each would have a market capitalization of $100 million.
|
|
Shares Outstanding -
common shares outstanding as reported by the company on the 10-Q or 10-K.
| |
Number of Institutional Shareholder -
total number of banks, insurance companies and mutual funds with equity assets
over $100 million that hold shares of a company's stock.
|
Percentage of Institutional Shareholders -
percentage of common stock held by all reporting institutions on the
corresponding institutional holdings date.
| |
Last Quarter Sales -
Quarter revenues attributed to sales, data taken from the 10-K.
|
Last Quarter Net Income -
amount of a company's total sales (revenue) remaining after
subtracting all of its costs in a given period of time.
| |
Last Quarter EPS:
The Earnings Per Share for the last fiscal quarter.
|
P/E Ratio -
latest closing price divided by the earnings-per-share based on the LTM of earnings.
Companies with negative earnings receive an "NE."
| |
Earnings Per Share:
The basic EPS from total operations is the bottom line income after all expenses, divided
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
For example, if a company has $10 million in net income and 10 million in
outstanding shares, then its EPS is $1.
|
Most Recent Earnings -
The amount of latest Earnings Per Share (EPS) paid out to shareholders.
| |
Annual Dividend Rate -
dividend, or portion of a company's profit paid to
shareholders, divided by the number of common shares
outstanding (usually a weighted average of the number of shares
outstanding over the reporting period).
|
Most Recent Dividend:
The major exchanges require four business days prior to the Record
Date for recording ownership changes. The day that begins this four-day
period is the Ex-Date. Investors who purchase the stock prior to the Ex-Date
are eligible for this dividend, and investors who purchase the stock on or after
the Ex-Date are not entitled to this dividend. Empirical evidence has shown that
this is also the date that the market reflects the dividend policy in the stock
price, and the stock price generally goes up prior to this date.
| |
Annual Dividend Yield -
latest dividend rate divided by the closing price on that latest-dividend date.
|
Most Recent Split:
A stock split occurs when a company wants to change its stock price.
If things are going well for the company, the stock price generally
goes down by a ratio meant to keep the market cap constant. The
number of outstanding shares would go up in this case.
|
For example, a 2/1 split would double the number of
outstanding shares and halve the stock price.
|
A reverse split generally occurs when things are going poorly.
In this case, the stock price goes up and the number of outstanding
shares goes down, the market cap, again, remaining constant.
