One page that answers the questions you'd actually ask

Each note puts our models' view and the reasons behind it in one place, written for people who invest their own money, not for analysts. Every number comes with a line saying what it means.

The call

Buy, hold, sell or not a buy

What each of our models makes of the stock today, with a one-line reason you can check.

"Ranks 1,892 of 2,813. Holding it back: the share price has been weak."
The scores

Value, quality, price trend

Scored 0 to 100 against every US stock we track, so 50 is average and you can see where it stands at a glance.

"Never scored high enough to buy in 12 years."
The business

Profit margins, return on capital, debt and buybacks, each with what it means for the company.

See how its past buy signals worked out

Most stock pages tell you what a rating is today. Our notes also look back over 12 years of our own records: every time our core model would have bought the stock, and what the price did next, compared with buying in an ordinary week.

The record is point-in-time: each past rating uses only what was known on that date, so it shows what you would have seen then.

Questions

Is this investment advice?

No. Notes are research and education: the same note for everyone, with no view on your own situation. Decide for yourself or with a licensed adviser.

Where do the scores come from?

From our own quantitative models, built on public market and company data and run every day across about 3,000 US stocks.

What does "AI" do here?

Scores and calls come from our quantitative models. An AI model then writes the plain-English summary from the note's own figures. It doesn't predict prices.

Which stocks are covered?

US-listed companies of every size, from the largest to small caps. International stocks are planned.
