Relative Strength Index measures the speed and change of recent price movements on a 0–100 scale.

Below 30 typically signals oversold conditions; above 70 signals overbought. BuyLow computes RSI using Wilder's EWM method, which differs slightly from TradingView.

Percentage price change from the previous trading session's close.

Useful for momentum filters. Positive values indicate the stock rose today; negative values indicate a decline.

Price-to-Earnings ratio: market price per share divided by trailing twelve-month earnings per share.

Lower PE may indicate undervaluation relative to earnings. Compare within the same sector — high-growth companies often carry higher PEs.

Price-to-Book ratio: market capitalisation divided by book value of equity.

Below 1× may signal that the market values the company below its net assets. Asset-heavy industries typically have lower PBs.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

Price-to-Sales ratio: market capitalisation divided by trailing twelve-month revenue.

Useful for loss-making or early-stage companies where PE is meaningless. Lower PS suggests cheaper revenue relative to market price.

Price/Earnings-to-Growth: PE ratio divided by the expected earnings growth rate.

PEG below 1× is often considered undervalued relative to growth. Popularised by Peter Lynch as a growth-adjusted valuation measure.

Enterprise Value to EBITDA: total company value (including debt) relative to operating earnings before non-cash charges.

A capital-structure-neutral valuation multiple. Below 10× is often considered low for established businesses.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

Price to Free Cash Flow: market capitalisation divided by trailing twelve-month free cash flow.

Considered by many investors as a more reliable multiple than PE because free cash flow is harder to manipulate than reported earnings.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

Earnings per share divided by share price — the inverse of PE ratio — expressed as a percentage.

Represents the return you would earn if the company distributed all earnings as dividends. Useful for comparing equities to bonds.

PE ratio adjusted by earnings growth.

Return on Assets: net income divided by total assets.

Shows how efficiently a company uses its total asset base to generate profit. Asset-light businesses tend to have higher ROA.

Captures operating efficiency including SG&A and R&D. Positive and expanding operating margins are a positive signal.

Net income as a percentage of revenue after all expenses and taxes.

The bottom-line profitability measure. Wide net margins provide a buffer against revenue slowdowns.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue.

A measure of cash generation quality. FCF margin above 15% is generally strong. Unlike net margin, FCF is not affected by non-cash accounting entries.

Debt-to-Equity: total debt divided by shareholders' equity.

High D/E signals financial leverage. Capital-intensive sectors (utilities, banks) naturally carry higher D/E. Context matters.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

Debt-to-Capital: total debt as a percentage of total capital (debt plus equity).

A measure of financial leverage bounded between 0% and 100%. Below 40% is generally conservative; above 60% can indicate high leverage risk.

Current assets divided by current liabilities.

Measures short-term liquidity. Above 1.5× means the company has ample short-term assets to cover near-term obligations.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

EBIT divided by interest expense — how many times the company can cover its interest payments from operating earnings.

Below 1.5× is a warning sign. Above 5× is generally comfortable. Negative values mean the company is not covering its interest costs.

Total debt compared with shareholders' equity.

Strategies use it as a leverage and balance sheet risk signal.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

A higher yield means more income relative to price. Very high yields can signal a dividend cut risk — always check payout ratio.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

Dividends paid as a percentage of net income.

Above 80% may signal an unsustainable dividend. Below 70% leaves room for growth. Some sectors (REITs, utilities) structurally pay out more.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

Total dividends declared per share over the trailing twelve months.

An absolute measure of dividend income. Use alongside yield and payout ratio for a complete dividend picture.

Source: FMP ratios-ttm

Year-over-year percentage change in diluted earnings per share.

Positive EPS growth indicates improving profitability. Negative growth (declining EPS) is a common sell signal in value strategies.

Year-over-year percentage change in total dividends paid.

Consistent dividend growth is a sign of financial strength and management confidence. Dividend cuts often precede share price declines.

Whether free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures) is positive or negative.

Positive FCF means the company generates more cash than it spends to maintain or grow operations — a fundamental quality signal.

Whether operating cash flow is positive or negative.

Positive OCF means day-to-day operations are generating cash. A company can report net income but have negative OCF if earnings are not being collected.

Growing FCF means the company is generating more cash each year — a strong quality indicator for long-term investors.

Source: FMP cash-flow-statement (2 annual periods)

Year-over-year percentage change in operating cash flow.

Growing OCF indicates improving operational cash generation, even if capital expenditures are also rising.

Boolean flag showing whether operating cash flow is above zero.

Positive operating cash flow indicates the core business is generating cash.

Capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue.

Lower capex intensity means the business requires less ongoing investment to maintain operations — a characteristic of high-quality, capital-light businesses.

Source: FMP cash-flow-statement

Stock-based compensation as a percentage of revenue.

High SBC dilutes shareholders. SBC above 5–10% of revenue is a significant cost that may not be fully reflected in GAAP earnings.
