Style Scores:

The Style Scores are a complementary set of indicators to use alongside the Zacks Rank. It allows the user to better focus on the stocks that are the best fit for his or her personal trading style.

The scores are based on the trading styles of Value, Growth, and Momentum. There's also a VGM Score ('V' for Value, 'G' for Growth and 'M' for Momentum), which combines the weighted average of the individual style scores into one score.

Value Score	A
Growth Score	A
Momentum Score	A
VGM Score	A

Within each Score, stocks are graded into five groups: A, B, C, D and F. As you might remember from your school days, an A, is better than a B; a B is better than a C; a C is better than a D; and a D is better than an F.

As an investor, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. That means you want to buy stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2, Strong Buy or Buy, which also has a Score of an A or a B in your personal trading style.

About PE Ratio (TTM)

Westlake Chemical Partners has a trailing-twelve-months P/E of 14.85X compared to the Chemical - Specialty industry's P/E of 18.18X.

Price to Earnings Ratio or P/E is price / earnings. It is the most commonly used metric for determining a company's value relative to its earnings. In this example, we are using the actual earnings (EPS) for the trailing twelve months (or TTM). A stock with a P/E ratio of 20, for example, is said to be trading at 20 times its trailing twelve months earnings. In general, a lower number or multiple is usually considered better than a higher one.
