How Calculated (standard_v1)

Metrics are computed with a market-consensus convention designed for cross-portal comparability.

  • TTM Operating Income / TTM Revenues
  • Current Assets / Current Liabilities (latest instant quarter)
  • (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities; fallback: (Cash+Short-Term Investments + Accounts Receivable) / Current Liabilities
  • Total Debt / Stockholders Equity (latest instant quarter; shared unit; freshest series)
  • TTM Net Income / Average Equity (current quarter + same quarter previous year) / 2
  • TTM Net Income / Average Assets (current quarter + same quarter previous year) / 2
  • TTM NOPAT / Average Invested Capital, where NOPAT=Operating Income*(1-tax rate), Invested Capital=Equity+Total Debt-Cash & ST Investments
  • TTM Revenues YoY
  • TTM Net Income YoY
