Stock Score

The Stock Score is a proprietary rating system that incorporates fundamental, technical, sentiment and economic data pertaining to a stock, the stock market, and economy. The information is distilled into a single quantified figure.

The Stock Score is calculated using a proprietary algorithm that incorporates multiple forms of analysis, including fundamental, technical, sentiment and economic.

No, the Stock Score is calculated differently for indexes than for individual companies. For example, the Stock Score figures for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average are calculated differently than are the ones for individual companies which comprise the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Seasonality

Seasonality refers to the cyclical patterns in share prices that can occur repeatedly at certain times of the year. For example, a stock that had a history more often than not of rising in the month of November would be described as having a seasonally bullish pattern in November.

Seasonality is calculated by measuring the price movements in share prices at various times of the year. We add our own secret sauce to this calculation to account for the nuances of the Gregorian calendar.

No. Seasonality is not intended to be a predictive tool of future prices; seasonality calculates historical price patterns.
