Comparing Company Financial Growth and Valuation Metrics

Summary

This chart indicator presents historical company financial data for two user-selected items. Its menu covers income measures such as revenue, net income, EBITDA, earnings per share, and dividends; balance-sheet and cash-flow items; margins; and ratios including return on equity, return on assets, and debt to equity. It can display quarterly, annual, or trailing-twelve-month periods and offers quarter-over-quarter, year-over-year, and compound annual growth rate comparisons.

The script also calculates price-to-earnings, price-to-book, price-to-sales, and price-to-free-cash-flow ratios from market prices and financial statement fields. Results appear in a configurable table, with optional plotted series and labels. This is a data display and comparison aid rather than a trading strategy: the document provides no investment conclusions, return tests, or validation of the underlying financial data. Ratios and growth comparisons depend on the selected reporting period, available company data, and the calculations used, so the indicator alone does not establish valuation or quality.

Key ideas
