Company Rankings by Fundamental Analysis
Filter the ranked universe and open company-level fundamentals when a current target needs deeper validation.
The Magic Compounding Effect
Time in the market trumps timing the market. This analysis reveals that holding period matters far more than chasing the highest returns—a modest but consistent return held over decades will dramatically outperform higher returns over shorter periods. The mathematics of compounding show that patience and discipline are the most powerful wealth-building tools, not exceptional stock-picking ability.
Portfolio Performance
Review portfolio valuation and capital efficiency, then compare momentum, drawdowns and recovery signals across the tracked universe.
How to read this
What this shows
Each company is positioned by its current price-to-tangible- book ratio and trailing-twelve-month free-cash-flow yield. Bubble size represents its weight in the covered company sleeve.
How to read
The upper-left area combines higher FCF yield with lower P/TBV. Green companies pass both portfolio-relative tests; red companies are in the bottom quartile for TTM FCF yield.
Growth comparison
Each label includes the change from the company’s five-year median FCF yield, highlighting businesses whose current cash generation has improved or deteriorated.
Caveats
TTM cash flow can be cyclical, and tangible book is less meaningful for asset-light businesses. Use the map as a screening tool rather than a standalone valuation conclusion.
How to read this
What this shows
The left panel compares each company’s return on invested capital with its WACC. The right panel reports return on equity.
Value creation
A green spread means ROIC exceeds WACC, indicating that the company currently earns more on invested capital than its estimated financing cost. A red spread indicates the opposite.
Ranking
Companies are sorted by ROIC minus WACC, making the strongest and weakest excess-return profiles immediately visible.
Caveats
ROIC and ROE depend on accounting classifications. ROE can be inflated by small or negative equity, while WACC changes with market prices, beta and interest rates.
How to read this
What this shows
Each stock is tested on price versus its 100-day average, price versus its 200-day average, and the 100-day average versus the 200-day average.
How to read
Green means the first value is above the second; red means it is below. Stocks are ranked from strongest to weakest.
Momentum score
3/3 is fully positive momentum, 2/3 is positive, 1/3 is negative, and 0/3 is fully negative momentum.
Caveats
Moving averages are lagging indicators. Use this as a quick trend summary, not as a standalone buy or sell signal.
What this tells you—and what it doesn’t
Time below a high
The upper panel shows time underwater in calendar days. Taller peaks identify longer recovery episodes within this portfolio’s displayed history.
Drawdown depth
The lower panel shows the monetary shortfall from a previous portfolio high. Zero means no shortfall. Amounts are not percentages and depend on portfolio size.
Historical context
The historical statistics compare the latest daily portfolio state with earlier observed dates. Smaller worse-than percentages mean fewer dates were worse. This does not establish a rare event across the market.
Reading limits
This is the existing reconstructed portfolio analysis, grouped by high-water mark. Lines connect episode summaries, not daily observations. A long recovery does not predict when a rebound will come. The original image includes its update date.
How to read this
What this shows
The % return needed to get back to the previous all-time high from today’s level.
How to read
Bigger drawdowns need disproportionately bigger gains to recover (e.g., -50% needs +100%).
Why it matters
Good companies selling at a discount can provide a margin of safety.
Caveats
This is arithmetic, not a forecast. Prices can keep falling, and some companies never recover.
How to read this
What this shows
A 0–100 “how bad is the drawdown?” score vs. that same company’s own history. 100 = near its peak (no drawdown), 0 = near its worst historical drawdown.
How to read
Lower = more stretched vs. history. Use it to compare “stress level” across stocks on the same scale.
Why it matters
If fundamentals are intact, deep drawdowns can sometimes offer better entry points than buying near peaks.
Caveats
“Cheap” can get cheaper. A low score is not a buy signal by itself—bad businesses can stay down or go to zero.
How to read this
What this shows
A rule-based “oversold” indicator. It measures sustained downside pressure and highlights moments where past data suggests the odds of a rebound improved.
How to read
Treat highlighted points as “check this stock now”, not an automatic buy. Combine with fundamentals and position sizing.
Why it matters
Removes emotion: it gives consistent criteria for when to look for entries during sell-offs.
Caveats
Signals can be early and keep triggering in a downtrend. Always assume the next signal can fail.
How to read this
What this shows
One score that combines multiple signals (returns, drawdowns, and time effects). Higher = “better overall” across the metrics used.
How to read
Higher composite → stronger multi-metric profile.
Why it matters
A single metric can be misleading. This helps balance “high return” against “high risk” in one view.
Caveats
The score depends on how each metric is weighted. Treat it as a ranking tool, not a guarantee.
How to read this
What this shows
Required EPS growth for a 15% annual return is compared with 75% of each company’s historical earnings-growth rate, capped at 40%, at one, three, and five years.
How to read
A negative gap means the haircut-and-capped historical EPS benchmark exceeded the growth required by the scenario. More negative is less demanding, subject to the assumptions below.
Valuation scenario
The blue case keeps the current P/E. The orange case uses the five-year median P/E, capped at 40. An asterisk marks a positive-period fallback EPS benchmark.
Caveats
Historical growth and valuation may not persist. Treat this as a comparative screen, not a standalone investment recommendation.
US Stock Market Index Statistics
How to read this
What this shows
A benchmark CAGR snapshot for an S&P 500 UCITS tracker (in EUR). Think of it as “what a simple index investment delivered”.
How to read
Higher CAGR is better, but also look for consistency across years (big swings usually mean higher uncertainty).
Why it matters
Use it to sanity-check your strategy: if a strategy can’t beat the index after costs, it’s often not worth the extra complexity.
Caveats
Past performance ≠ future returns. Also, results depend on currency (EUR vs USD) and the chosen time window.
How to read this
What this shows
The benchmark index tracker price with 100- and 200-observation simple moving averages.
How to read
Price above both averages points to an upward trend; price below them points to weaker momentum.
Why it matters
Use it as a market-regime check before comparing stock rankings or strategy results with the index baseline.
Caveats
Moving averages are lagging indicators and do not predict turning points by themselves.
How to read this
What this shows
The inflation-adjusted S&P 500 price compared with its recursively estimated long-term trend and one-, two-, and three-standard-deviation bands.
How to read
Readings above the red two-sigma line meet Jeremy Grantham's statistical bubble threshold. The lower panel shows the distance from trend through time.
Why it matters
It puts current valuations in a long historical context and highlights periods of unusually large real-price deviations, including 1929, 2000, and 2021.
Caveats
A two-sigma reading identifies an extreme valuation, not the date of a market peak or crash. Trend estimates also change as new observations become available.
