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 90 symbols in the Industrials sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).
+30.9% per year, last 5 years
Sector Industrials: median +8.0% (82 symbols)
What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 30.9% per year on average – at least as fast as the median company in the sector (+8.0%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
– per year, last 5 years
Sector Industrials: median +10.0% (66 symbols)
per share: not computable (loss in the first or last year)
What does this mean? There was a loss in the first or last year. An annual growth rate cannot be calculated meaningfully then.
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
5.7% last fiscal year
Sector Industrials: median 11.1% (88 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 5.68 USD remained as profit – less than the median company in the sector (11.1%). Five years ago the margin was −46.0%.
Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.
1.38 latest balance sheet
Sector Industrials: median 0.58 (77 symbols)
What does this mean? For every 1 USD of equity there is 1.38 USD of financial debt – more than twice as much as the median company in the sector (0.58). 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 Industrials: median 35% (65 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.
8 of 10 fiscal years with a profit
What does this mean? In 8 of the last 10 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. 2 years ended with a loss.
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). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
