Our own calculation from the exchange’s daily candles, as of Oct 27, 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.
No buy zone
There is currently no buy zone for this symbol under our Elliott rule. One only forms when the price pulls back after a strong rise.

Weighting Main scenario: ahead (2 of 3 guidelines, medium) · Alternative: behind (2 of 4, medium) 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

provisional count The inner sub-waves cannot be seen on this timeframe – the hard Elliott rules are met, the internal structure remains open. Provisional – check the count yourself on the chart. No visible sub-waves in: A.
As long as the weekly close stays below the end of B, this applies: flat countermove downward in three waves (Flat, type known only after C), C in progress – count points to falling prices.
Invalid if the weekly close is above the end of B
If that breaks, the second reading no longer applies either: complex countermove upward (Combination W-X-Y-X-Z), Z complete – then there is no valid count for now; the next candles will produce a new one.
Invalid if the weekly close is above the end of Z

Information only – does not affect our buy zones, not investment advice. Source: SEC filings, As of Feb 25, 2026.
Summarized from the lights below. Describes the reported figures – not a recommendation to buy or sell.
Fiscal year 2025 (Jan 1, 2025 – Dec 31, 2025): Revenue 58.3B USD · Net income 17.2B USD · Net margin 29.5%
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 79 symbols in the Financials sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).
+5.5% per year, last 5 years
Sector Financials: median +8.8% (73 symbols)
What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 5.5% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+8.8%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
+12.7% per year, last 5 years
Sector Financials: median +13.8% (71 symbols)
per share: +15.7% per year (5 years, split-adjusted)
What does this mean? Total net income: over 5 years it grew by 12.7% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+13.8%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
29.5% last fiscal year
Sector Financials: median 19.4% (75 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 29.47 USD remained as profit – at least as much as the median company in the sector (19.4%). Five years ago the margin was 21.2%.
Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.
– latest balance sheet
Sector Financials: median 0.63 (47 symbols)
What does this mean? No usable figure: reported financial debt or positive equity for the same balance sheet date is missing.
Light rule: Green: at most the sector median · Yellow: up to twice the median · Red: more than twice · Gray: without a sector comparison.
27% Dividend / earnings per share
Sector Financials: median 34% (58 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 1 USD of earnings per share, 0.27 USD went to shareholders as a dividend. The rest stays in the company. Median company in the sector: 34%.
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).
