Our own calculation from the exchange’s daily candles, as of Oct 26, 2026. “All-time” applies since the start of this series, not to the whole market. Changes in percent; the TradingView chart shows prices. “Today” = change of the last trading day versus the previous day. Not investment advice.
Still above the buy zone
After a rise there is a buy zone; the price is still above it. “Near the buy zone” (from Watcher) shows how close it is.

Elliott count: Impulse, Impulse pattern (downward), Wave 2 in progress (3 of 3 guidelines) · W2 = 71% of W1
smaller wave degree Smaller wave degree: more sensitive turning-point detection, because no count fits at the usual degree – it describes shorter swings. Provisional – check the count yourself on the chart.
Elliott count calculated automatically by fixed Elliott rules, not investment advice – display only, our buy zones do not use it. Provisional: The count can change with new candles.

Weighting Main scenario (3 of 3 guidelines, strong) · no alternative Guidelines (strength of the count)Guidelines are typical features of a count, such as usual Fibonacci lengths or a change in the form of correction. Strong means: at least three quarters met, medium: at least half, otherwise weak. Even a strong count can flip.Example: 3 of 3 guidelines → strong; 2 of 4 → medium; 1 of 3 → weak.More in the Academy: Lesson wave degrees

smaller wave degree Smaller wave degree: more sensitive turning-point detection, because no count fits at the usual degree – it describes shorter swings. Provisional – check the count yourself on the chart.
As long as the weekly close stays below the start of wave 1, this applies: Downward move in five waves (Impulse), wave 2 in progress (pullback) – count then points to falling prices.
Invalid if the weekly close is above the start of wave 1 (+31.1% from the top of the zone)
If that breaks, this count no longer applies. Currently no alternative that follows the rules.

As long as the hourly close stays above the start of wave 1, this applies: Upward move in five waves (Impulse), wave 2 in progress (pullback) – count then points to rising prices.
Invalid if the hourly close is below the start of wave 1 (−4.6% from the top of the zone)
If that breaks, this count no longer applies. Currently no alternative that follows the rules.
The price is still above the buy zone (0 to −3.1% from its top) (61.8–78.6% of the wave 1 rise). Rule trigger: the daily low reaches the zone, then a swing high forms and a daily close is above it. Whether the price reaches the zone is open – if it rises above the wave 1 high first, the setup is void. All percentages: distance from the top of the buy zone.
In the TradingView chart: Draw the buy zone in the chart with the Fibonacci tool (instructions next to the wave chart) or as two horizontal lines (tool “Horizontal Line”). If the price closes below the start of wave 1 (−7.1%), the setup is void – without an entry of the rule.
Exit with a gain

Fiscal year 2025 (Nov 30, 2024 – Nov 28, 2025): Revenue 23.8B USD · Net income 7.1B USD · Net margin 30.0%
Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median Sector medianThe middle value of all companies in a sector: half are above it, half below. Unlike the average, single outliers hardly distort it.Example: Margins 4%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 60% → median 10%, average 18.8%.More in the Academy: Lesson putting the P/E in context of all 97 symbols in the Technology sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).
+13.1% per year, last 5 years
Sector Technology: median +13.5% (88 symbols)
What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 13.1% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+13.5%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
+6.3% per year, last 5 years
Sector Technology: median +13.3% (62 symbols)
per share: +9.0% per year (5 years, split-adjusted)
What does this mean? Total net income: over 5 years it grew by 6.3% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+13.3%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
30.0% last fiscal year
Sector Technology: median 12.5% (97 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 30.00 USD remained as profit – at least as much as the median company in the sector (12.5%). Five years ago the margin was 40.9%.
Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.
0.41 latest balance sheet
Sector Technology: median 0.46 (65 symbols)
What does this mean? For every 1 USD of equity there is 0.41 USD of financial debt – no more than the median company in the sector (0.46). More debt amplifies good and bad years alike.
Light rule: Green: at most the sector median · Yellow: up to twice the median · Red: more than twice · Gray: without a sector comparison.
– Dividend / earnings per share
Sector Technology: median 30% (36 symbols)
What does this mean? The loaded SEC filings of the last two fiscal years contain no dividend per share. Either the company pays none, or it reports it under a different tag.
Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.
10 of 10 fiscal years with a profit
What does this mean? In 10 of the last 10 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. There were no losses in this period.
Light rule: Green: profit in every year · Yellow: one loss year · Red: several loss years (at least 3 years needed).

How we calculate: values as first reported to the SEC (later corrections are left out), a fixed order of reporting tags per figure, partial sums are never added up. Growth per year Growth per year (CAGR)The average annual growth rate over several years, as if the value had grown equally strongly every year. Individual good or bad years even out in it.Example: Revenue €100m → €161m in 5 years → (161 ÷ 100) to the power of 1/5 − 1 = 10% per year.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth over 5 years (otherwise 3 years).

ATR ATR (Average True Range)The average range per trading day over the last 14 days. It makes distances comparable, whether a stock costs 10 or 1,000.Example: ATR 2.50 at a price of 100: 0.4 ATR is 1.00, i.e. 1%.More in the Academy: Lesson ATR and moving averages as price values only when logged in.
