Reading a Company Profile: What Each Score Means
Stonkly distills hundreds of data points into six dimension scores. Understanding what each score is measuring — and what it is not — is the difference between using the profile as a compass and treating it as a traffic light.
The six dimensions
Each company profile displays six dimension scores, each measuring a distinct aspect of the stock: Fundamentals, Technicals, Sentiment, Filings, Insider Activity, and the AI Verdict. The Verdict is a weighted composite of the other five — it recalibrates monthly against realized returns to reflect changing market conditions.
What each score measures
Understanding what each dimension actually tracks helps you know which ones to weight for your particular investment approach.
- Fundamentals: balance sheet strength, profitability, and earnings momentum relative to sector peers
- Technicals: price trend, momentum indicators, and chart pattern context
- Sentiment: aggregated news, analyst, and social signals — percentile-ranked against history
- Filings: 8-K and 10-K flags — language changes, new risk factors, off-balance-sheet exposure
- Insider Activity: net buying or selling by officers and 10%+ holders over 90 days
- AI Verdict: weighted composite that recalibrates monthly against realized returns
How to weight scores for your thesis
The right weighting depends on your investment style. Growth investors should anchor to Fundamentals and AI Verdict. Momentum traders should weight Technicals and Sentiment most heavily. Value investors should focus on Fundamentals and Filings — filings often surface risks that don't appear in traditional metrics until a quarter or two later.
What the scores don't tell you
Scores are relative, not absolute. A Fundamentals score of 72 means the company ranks in the 72nd percentile for its sector and market-cap tier — it does not mean the stock will go up. The score is a snapshot of current conditions against peers, not a return forecast. Market regime, macro factors, and position sizing decisions remain yours to make.
Key Takeaway
Treat scores as inputs to your thesis, not as the thesis itself. The profile is most useful when one dimension score diverges sharply from the others — that divergence is usually the starting point for a productive investigation.
