To aid in your understanding of industry and sector trends, the StockVal System provides you with the tools necessary to move beyond simple performance analysis and into fundamental diagnostics. Within the StockVal environment, you can easily explore relative valuation, growth, profitability and consensus issues on industry groups and sectors just as you would an individual equity. Importantly, StockVal not only provides this data on a historical basis, but also permits you to incorporate current estimate data in your valuation and growth analysis of equity groups.

StockVal’s flexibility allows you to not only view all of the characteristics of common industry sector groups, but also permits to you view the same data for your own custom industry/sector groups. Taken a step further, you can utilize a variety of weighting schemes to further refine your analysis – for example, contrast and compare earnings momentum and valuation across sectors using both equally and market cap weighting.

StockVal’s quarterly Sector Book highlights the use of StockVal composites for sector analysis. While the publication provides the traditional rear view look at historical and relative price change, the focus is forward looking. We highlight prospective earnings, earnings estimate revision, earnings and revenue momentum, and certain measures of equity valuation by sector, in an effort to add structure to portfolio thinking. Our tables, graphs and commentary seek to focus attention on the “mood” of the market and to offer insights on possible future market direction and character. Through a StockVal subscription, you can blend this type of top-down analytic capability with your own sector strategy and analysis style.
