Where does the stock data come from?

Our stock data is primarily sourced from reputable third-party financial data providers. We strive to ensure accuracy and timeliness, but data may be delayed as per exchange regulations.

How is the market capitalization calculated?

Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the current stock price by the total number of outstanding shares. Data on outstanding shares is updated periodically.

How often is the data updated?

End-of-day stock data is typically updated shortly after market close. Intraday data, where available, may have a delay (e.g., 15-20 minutes). Fundamental data like earnings and shares outstanding are updated quarterly or as reported by the companies.

What's the difference between the Line and Candlestick charts on the Price History page?

The Line Chart displays the closing price trend over the selected period, providing a simple view of the overall price movement.
The Candlestick Chart offers more detail for each time interval (day, week, etc.). Each "candlestick" shows the open, high, low, and close (OHLC) prices. The body of the candle is typically colored green if the close price was higher than the open, and red if it was lower.

How often is your historical stock price data updated?

All historical price data (OHLCV) is updated daily, typically within 1 hour after the respective market closes. Data is aggregated daily to create weekly, monthly, and yearly views.
Adjustments for dividends are typically applied quarterly, while adjustments for stock splits are applied as they occur.
Please note there might be slight delays depending on the data provider and the specific exchange.

Do your charts and historical data account for stock splits and dividends?

Yes, all historical price data and charts show split/dividend-adjusted prices. This provides a more accurate representation of historical returns, as it accounts for changes in share count (splits) and cash distributions (dividends) that affect the comparable share price over time.
Using adjusted data is standard practice for calculating long-term performance and returns.

How are sector/market benchmarks chosen?

Benchmarks are automatically selected based on the stock's region and sector classification:
  • Market Benchmark: A major stock market index relevant to the stock's country (e.g., S&P 500 for US stocks, FTSE 100 for UK stocks).
  • Sector Benchmark: An index representing the stock's specific GICS (Global Industry Classification Standard) sector, providing context against industry peers.
The specific benchmarks used are indicated on the performance comparison chart.

What defines a "peer" stock in comparisons?

Peers are selected based on similarity using GICS classifications and proprietary scoring, prioritizing stocks that match:
  • The same Sector, Industry, and Market Capitalization category.
  • If not enough exact matches are found, it broadens to the same Sector and Industry.
  • Then, to the same Sector (excluding the original Industry if applicable).
  • Finally, to the same Market Capitalization category (excluding the original Sector if applicable).
Within each tier, stocks are typically ordered by market capitalization. The goal is to display up to 4 relevant peers.

What is the difference between "Total Return" and "Annualized CAGR" in the peer comparison?

Total Return shows the total percentage gain or loss of an investment over the entire specified period (e.g., 3 years, 5 years). It measures the cumulative performance from the beginning to the end date.
Annualized CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) represents the average annual rate of return an investment would have needed to achieve to grow from its starting balance to its ending balance, assuming profits were reinvested. It smooths out volatility and provides a standardized way to compare returns over different time periods. It is calculated using the formula: (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1/Number of Years) - 1
For example, a 100% Total Return over 5 years is different from a 100% Total Return over 10 years. CAGR helps compare these by showing the equivalent yearly growth rate.

Can I download raw price data for analysis?

Yes! Click the "Download CSV" button located above the historical price table on the Price History page. This allows you to download the currently selected data view (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly) including OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) and Volume data in a spreadsheet-compatible Comma Separated Value (.csv) format.

What time period does your "Max" historical data cover?

The "Max" view displays all available historical price data for a given stock that we have access to from our data providers. The starting date typically corresponds to the company's IPO (Initial Public Offering) date or the earliest date the data becomes available in the provider's database. Therefore, the exact time span covered by "Max" will vary from stock to stock.

Why do some peer comparisons show "N/A"?

"N/A" (Not Applicable or Not Available) typically appears in peer comparison tables for a few reasons:
  • Insufficient History: The peer company may not have enough historical trading data for the selected time period (e.g., it had a recent IPO).
  • Data Unavailability: There might be temporary issues accessing data for that specific peer or time period.

Why do some dates show zero volume in the historical data?

Days showing zero trading volume typically indicate that the relevant stock exchange was closed on that date. This usually occurs due to:
  • Weekends: Most stock exchanges are closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
  • Market Holidays: Exchanges close for specific public holidays (e.g., New Year's Day, Christmas Day). Holiday schedules vary by country and exchange.
  • Trading Halts: In rare cases, trading in a specific stock might be temporarily suspended or halted by the exchange, which could result in zero volume for part or all of a day.
