Charts

The Charts section is an interactive price chart with selectable time ranges and optional valuation-ratio overlays. This page explains what the chart shows, how to read the overlays, and how the plotted multiples are computed. The section is available to Free, Pro Lite, and Pro accounts.

Before you begin

What it shows

A price line chart shows the current price, the day change, and the percent change, with time-range buttons and toggleable overlays for the price-to-earnings, price-to-book, price-to-sales, price-to-earnings-growth-and-yield (PEGY), and cash-adjusted PEGY ratios plotted against price history. Exchange-traded funds show a dedicated fund price chart instead.

Inputs

Time-range buttons: for example 1D, 1M, and 1Y, among other ranges. The company chart defaults to 1Y.
Overlay toggles: P/E ratio, P/B ratio, P/S ratio, PEGY ratio, and cash-adjusted PEGY. These are off by default, and on mobile only one overlay shows at a time.

Outputs and how to read them

The price line shows historical movement over the chosen range.
An overlay shows how a valuation multiple has trended over the same window. When a multiple sits well below its own historical average, the stock has been getting cheaper on that measure, and the reverse when it sits above.
Intraday updates appear during market hours when that feature is enabled; otherwise the chart reflects daily closes.

How it is calculated

Each plotted multiple is a ratio of price to a fundamental.

P/E = price / earnings per share; P/B = price / book value per share; P/S = price / sales per share; PEGY = P/E / (earnings growth rate + dividend yield)

In these formulas, price, earnings per share, book value per share, and sales per share are in US dollars, while earnings growth rate and dividend yield are percentages. A PEGY under 1 traditionally reads as cheap relative to growth plus yield. The cash-adjusted PEGY is the PEGY computed after netting out the company's cash, giving a cleaner read for cash-rich companies. For example, a P/E of 18, earnings growth of 12%, and a dividend yield of 3% give a PEGY of 18 divided by (12 plus 3), which is 1.2, slightly expensive relative to growth plus yield. The ratio overlays are only as good as the underlying fundamentals and can look distorted around one-off earnings or restructurings.

Data and timing

The price history is delivered through AlphaVantage from Nasdaq, and the plotted ratios use AlphaVantage fundamentals recomputed daily. Intraday price requires market hours and the intraday feature being enabled.

Use cases

See how a stock's valuation multiple has trended versus its own history.

Compare price action across time ranges.

Limitations and disclosures

The overlays are only as good as the underlying fundamentals and can distort around one-off events. Price and ratio data are descriptive, so no disclosure is required for this section.
