Fundamentals

Displaying fundamental metrics on charts

You can add the "Fundamentals" lower indicator via the "Other data" menu. Once you add it, you can select which metric do you want to see (EPS, Revenue etc) by clicking on the button next to the Fundamentals indicator in the Chart Key.

This indicator has a few elements

  1. The metric value per se. This is the line looking like ladder.
  2. Each report is marked with a colorful dot, accompanied with a label explaining which quarter and year the report covers. The dot is green in case if at this quarter, the metric reported was better than in the previous quarter of the same year. It's red otherwise.
  3. At each report, there's also a gray dot painted. This dot paints vaue of the same metric, as of the previous quarter of the same year. It has a label next to it, too.
  4. If the metric has increased year over year then a green cloud will be present.
  5. If the metric has increased year over year then a red cloud will be present.

You can disable Y/Y comparison, dots or color clouds if you don't want them.

This data can currently be used to create a scan, in the Smart Checklist and Stock Market Maps.

Comparing fundamentals of a company against its peers

On TrendSpider, you can see how a given company metric compares to its peers, for any fundamental metric based on a ratio. In example, you can see how P/B ratio of a given company compares to other companies in the same US economy sector (or the same US economy industry).

In order to do that, set the Compare to input parameter of your Fundamentals indicator to what you'd want to see. Comparison like that displays how value of this metric was distributed across a given benchmark universe, and also illustrates how this distribution was changing over time. Compare to adds a number of new elements onto your Fundamental data panel:

  1. Median line. This is a median value of the corresponding metric for the universe you've selected. This line has a label which also explains which universe you are comparing against.
  2. Min value to 25th percentile cloud. This cloud illustrates the range of values from minimal value to 25th percentile. Please remember that min/max/percentile values have purely mathematical meaning: disregarding of whether the meaning of a given metric is "the greater, the better" or "the less, the better", "minimal value" means "value which is mathematically the smallest of them all".
  3. 25th percentile to 50th percentile (aka Median) cloud
  4. 50th percentile to 75th percentile cloud
  5. 75th percentile to max value cloud

Here's an example of how you read the result.

CSCO P/B value compared to the Telecommunication industry

For Q2 2024, CSCO has reported P/B ratio of 1.837. This value falls into the "25th percentile to median" range of P/B values across the entire US economy industry of "Telecommunications Equipment". This means that in Q2 2024, around 50% to 75% of stocks in the same industry have reported P/B ratio greater than CSCO did. CSCO P/B is below the median for the industry, but not too much. One might say that it's fairly reasonable, if compared to peer companies.

In Q2 2022, P/B of CSCO was 2.48 and it was in the "median to 75th percetile" range. P/B of CSCO was less reasonable in Q2 2022 than it was in Q2 2024, if compared to its peers in the same US economy industry.

How we group reports for the purpose of computing distributions

In order to illustrate how benchmark values changed over time, we distribute all the earnings reports of stocks from the benchmark universe across a number of buckets. Each bucket is a group of 3 consequtive months. These buckets do not necessarily match calendar quarters, but they represent the overall picture fairly well. For every earnings report, we define "bucket it belongs to" as "consequtive 3 months which end at a month containing date of REPORT_DATE - 20 days". I.e., for a report released at 11th Jun, the bucket it belongs to will be defined as "Mar, Apr, May". All the reports falling into the same bucket are then used for the purpose of comparing metrics like min/max/median and such.

Custom Fundamental metrics (custom formulas)

You can also have the Fundamentals indicator displaying a value computed using your custom formula. Almost like you would do in Excel, start your formula by typing a = character, and then type in a mathematical expression using IDs of metrics as variable names. This feautre is currently available for charting only (you can't use that in scanner, in example). Here are a few examples fo formulas:

  1. Revenue growth, year over year: =(revenue - revenue[4]) / revenue[4]. revenue[4] means "metric named revenue 4 records ago". One year has 4 quarters, so revenue[4] means "revenue at the same quarter of a previous year".
  2. Total revenue for trailing 4 quarters: =sum(revenue, 4)
  3. Revenue per shave: =revenue / shares_basic_bs

Besides of typical math operators, you can also do the following:

  1. sum(metric, length) returns a sum of last length values of metric.
  2. ma(metric, length) or avg(metric, length) returns a moving average of last length values of metric.
  3. log(metric) or log(expression) returns a natural logarithm of what you pass to it.
  4. ternary operator ?:, i.e., =rev > rev[1] ? rev: rev[1] will return max of "current revenue" or "previous quarter revenue".
  5. min(metric, length) returns numerically minimal of the last length values of metric.
  6. max(metric, length) returns numerically maximal value of the last length values of metric.
  7. sqrt(metric) or sqrt(expression) returns a square root
  8. ^ raises the first operand to the power of the second operand
  9. x % y modulus

You can combine functions into mathematical expressions. In example, =ma(rev, 4) / ma(eps, 4) will work.

You can also refer to previous values of a metric by using a notation like metric[OFFSET]. I.e., revenue[1] refers to "revenue for the previous quarter" and =eps[4] refers to "EPS of the same quarter one year ago". You can't refer to past values of functions results though; =ma(rev, 4)[1] will not work.

They are used to assess the impact of derivative instruments on financial performance. These can be found on the Income Statement under non-operating income or expenses.

Abnormal Gains (Losses)

Altman Z Score

The Altman Z Score is a financial metric used to predict the likelihood of bankruptcy within the next two years. Developed by Edward Altman in 1968, the Z Score combines five key financial ratios using a multivariate formula to assess a company's financial health. The five components are:

  1. Working Capital / Total Assets: Measures liquidity and the company's ability to cover short-term obligations.
  2. Retained Earnings / Total Assets: Indicates profitability and the company's ability to reinvest earnings.
  3. Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) / Total Assets: Assesses operational efficiency and earnings generation.
  4. Market Value of Equity / Total Liabilities: Evaluates financial leverage and market perception of financial stability.
  5. Sales / Total Assets: Measures asset efficiency and turnover.

The formula for the Altman Z Score is: Z=1.2(T1)+1.4(T2)+3.3(T3)+0.6(T4)+0.999(T5)

  • T1T1T1= Working Capital / Total Assets
  • T2T2T2= Retained Earnings / Total Assets
  • T3T3T3= EBIT / Total Assets
  • T4T4T4= Market Value of Equity / Total Liabilities
  • T5T5T5= Sales / Total Assets

Interpretation of Altman Z Score:

  • Z > 2.99: The company is considered safe and unlikely to face bankruptcy.
  • 1.81 < Z < 2.99: The company is in a gray zone, indicating moderate risk.
  • Z < 1.81: The company is at high risk of bankruptcy and financial distress.

The Altman Z Score is widely used by investors, creditors, and analysts to assess financial stability and predict the likelihood of bankruptcy. It is particularly useful for identifying companies in financial distress, making it an essential tool for risk management and investment decision-making.
This metric is calculated using various data from the Balance Sheet and Income Statement.
