What the score is made of
Each factor is half a curve over reported figures and half a rank among the other Information Technology companies (momentum is judged against fixed thresholds only), and the five are blended by weight. It describes the last filing and the current price. It is not a forecast.
| Valuewhat you pay for the earnings, sales, assets and cash | 18 |
|---|---|
| Growthhow fast revenue and earnings are moving, this year and over five | 18 |
| Profitabilityhow much of the revenue becomes profit, and how much of that is cash | 9 |
| Momentumhow the price has behaved lately | 69 |
| Stabilityhow violently it moves, what it owes and what it pays you | 19 |
- It is losing money, so it has no P/E; that counts against value rather than being skipped.
- Each factor except momentum is half fixed thresholds, half rank among the 73 Information Technology companies.
