Methodology
How the screener score is built, and what it deliberately leaves out.
Every company on Markets by Vikram gets a single 1–99 score built from four explainable inputs, each visible on its own on the stock detail page:
- Growth — year-over-year quarterly revenue growth.
- Profitability — trailing twelve-month operating margin.
- Valuation — trailing P/E ratio, inverted (cheaper scores higher).
- Momentum — the stock's latest daily change.
The composite score weights growth and profitability most heavily, applies a mild valuation penalty, and nudges for the day's momentum. It is a simple heuristic for exploring a curated universe of companies — not investment advice, and not a claim that any of these dimensions predict future returns.
This project deliberately omits technical indicators like RSI and moving averages, and balance-sheet ratios like debt/equity — those require extra API calls per symbol that would blow through the free-tier rate limits this site runs on. See Data sources for the specifics.
