What does PEG TTM mean?

The PEG ratio (Price/Earnings to Growth ratio) is calculated by taking the historic Price to Earnings Ratio (based on last year's diluted normalised Earnings) and dividing it by the consensus forecast EPS growth for the next year.

Unlike the Slater PEG Ratio, this version does not use rolling PE ratio and growth rates, or incorporate the additional restriction that a companies must have 4 consecutive growth periods.

Stockopedia explains PEG TTM...

The PEG is a valuation metric used to measure the trade-off between a stock's price, its earning, and the expected growth of the company. It was popularised by Peter Lynch and Jim Slater. In general, the lower the PEG, the better the value, because the investor would be paying less for each unit of earnings growth.

A PEG ratio of 1 is supposed to indicate that the stock is fairly priced. A ratio between .5 and less than 1 is considered good, meaning the stock may be undervalued given its growth profile. A ratio less than .5 is considered to be excellent.

What does % vs. 52w High mean?

The Price vs. 52 Week High indicator compares the current price to the highest price at which the stock has traded at in the last 52 weeks (12 months).

To screen for companies that are within 10% of their 52wk high, the criteria would be Price vs. 52 Week High < 10, rather than greater than 90, i.e. it's a comparison rather than a rank. Here's a sample screen that you can fork.

Stockopedia explains % vs. 52w High...

Academic research has shown that stocks close to their 52 week highs tend to outperform. This is apparently because investors use the 52- week high as an "anchor" against which they value stocks, thus they tend to be reluctant to buy a stock as it nears this point regardless of new positive information. As a result, investors underreact when stock prices approach the 52-week high, and consequently, contrary to most investors' expectations, stocks near their 52-week highs tend to be systematically undervalued.

What does Sales £m mean?

This is sales over the last 12 months, translated in Pounds Sterling for all companies.

Stockopedia explains Sales £m...

The sales figure gives a sense for the scale of a company, although companies can have very different profit margins depending on the industry and state of the business, so this may not bear much relation to the earnings figure. Some however argue for the importance of sales, since sales figures are less easy to manipulate than either earnings or book value.

What does RS 1y mean?

1 year relative Strength measures a stock's price change over the last year relative to the price change of a market index (e.g the FTSE All Share). It shows the relative outperformance or underperformance of the stock in that timeframe.

<

p> This figure is sourced from Thomson Reuters. It is calculated dividing the price change of a stock by the price change of the index for the same time period. e.g. A stock falling by 20% versus an index rising 20% would lead to a Relative strength calculation of 100 * ( 80/120 - 1) = -33%

Research indicates that relative strength is a negative signal in the near-term but generally a positive indicator in the medium (6-24 months).

A study by Hancock found a momentum-based strategy outperformed a broad universe of U.S. stocks by nearly 4% per year from 1927-2009. Research has shown that momentum is particularly beneficial when combined with a value style because the two are negatively correlated. Moskowitz and Grinblatt conclude that "A value-momentum combination mitigates the extreme negative return episodes a value investor will face (e.g., the tech boom of the late 1990s and early 2000 or a dismal year like 2008)".

However, momentum-based strategies have been shown to suffer badly during times of extreme market volatility such as the 2008/09 crisis.

What does 10d Avg Vol mean?

This is the daily average of the cumulative trading volume for the last 10 days.

Stockopedia explains 10d Avg Vol...

Large institutional funds cannot trade in and out of a stock without leaving their footprints, and learning to read the signs in daily and weekly volume is important. If current volumes are higher than previous volumes while price is increasing, it may be a sign of fund accumulation
