How does Tickerday rate a stock?

Every stock gets the same read: its price, ten key numbers, its price history over a week, a month and a year, and the latest news, weighed into six factors (valuation, growth, profitability, momentum, financial health and sentiment) and one score out of 100. A score of 63 or more is a Buy, 45 to 62 a Hold, and 44 or less a Sell.

How often is this list updated?

Whenever one of its stocks is read again. The page is redrawn every few hours from the latest reads, so a newly read financial stock joins on its own and a stock whose call turns moves with it. Each row shows the day its stock was read.

Can I get a forecast for a stock that isn't on this list?

Yes. Type any US stock on tickerday.com and get its call, the why and where the price is headed, in seconds. Your first one is free, with no account and no card.

Is this financial advice?

No. Tickerday's reads are educational analysis, the same for everyone. They show what the numbers and the news point to, in plain English, so you can decide for yourself.
