What is compared

| Growth | Revenue and earnings growth |
| Quality | Margins, return on capital, debt |
| Momentum | Returns over standard windows, distance from the 52-week high |
| Analysts | Mean target and the room to it |
| Our read | Our score for each stock and its value, growth, quality and momentum parts |
Reading differences
- Compare like with like. A bank and a software company differ on every margin for reasons that have nothing to do with which is better.
- A cell is empty when we do not hold the figure. It is not counted as a loss for that stock.
- Check the as-of date under each column. Fundamentals can be a quarter apart.
