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 media stock joins on its own and a stock whose call turns moves with it. Each row shows the day its stock was read.
