Historical Earnings Growth is the compounded annualized rate of growth of earnings for companies in the current portfolio over the past 60 months. Debt to Capitalization is a ratio that measures the total amount of outstanding company debt as a percentage of the firm’s total capitalization. The ratio is an indicator of the company’s leverage, which is debt used to purchase assets. Current P/E is a valuation ratio that measures a company’s current share price relative to its current per-share earnings (EPS). Forward price-to-earnings ratio (Forward P/E) is a ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its forecasted per-share earnings. The price/earnings to long-term growth ratio (P/E to Long Term Growth) is a stock’s current price-to-earnings ratio divided by the growth rate of its earnings over the past 5 years. The price/earnings to growth ratio (P/E to Current Growth) is a stock’s current price-to-earnings ratio divided by the growth rate of its earnings over the past 12 months. Price to Sales (P/S) is a valuation ratio that compares a company’s stock price to its revenues by taking a company’s market capitalization (the number of outstanding shares multiplied by the share price) and dividing it by the company’s total sales or revenue over the past 12 months.
