Hover over a bubble to display the company, Quantamental rating and percentage price performance over the period. Notice that the rating key is displayed to the lower left of the plot.

Click through any ticker symbol for a deeper assessment from Trading Central. Each of the boxes displayed show has an information icon where users can see a definition of each assessment shown. The Quantamental reading and rating history are displayed in the upper left. Factor scores describing growth, value, income, quality and momentum are shown in the middle. Thes factors contribute to the overall Quantamental rating. Drill down by clicking on each icon to learn more.

To the upper right Trading Central determines a proprietary Target Price for the stock along with the timing of the latest update. The price target is a function in part of the Quantamental Rating and incorporates overall price volatility. Beneath the Price target is key corporate fundamental data for market cap, price to earnings ratio etc.
