Co. vs. Industry page 1 of 1


The Company vs. Industry Analysis display is great for showing how a stock measures up against your favorite stock-picking criteria. You can graphically evaluate the investment attractiveness of a company versus the industry median, sector median, S&P 500, or a specific value/number.

Choose from pre-formatted Ratio Sets that come with the program or easily create your own custom Ratio Sets with our Ratio Set Editor Control Panel. Pick and choose from over 350 different ratio set items, to see just the ratios you want, the way you want to see them.

The yellow bar represents the company and the gray bar represents the industry. The 'variance' bar will be colored either green or red.

Yellow Bar Company
Gray Bar Benchmark (Industry, Sector, S&P 500 or Number/Value)
Green Bar Better Than Benchmark
Red Bar Worse Than Benchmark

If a company's ratio beats its benchmark, the 'variance' bar is colored green. If a company's ratio is worse than its bench-mark, the 'variance' bar is colored red. For items where the lower number is better (for example; Average Broker Rating), the 'variance' bar will be colored conversely: below the benchmark will be green, and above the benchmark will be red.
