Growth 5 yrs = revenue growth per year over 5 fiscal years · Op. margin = operating margin · ROE = return on equity · FCF = free cash flow · Piotroski = F-Score (only with all 9 criteria).

Figures of the last fiscal year from SEC annual reports (peers as of Oct 28, 2026). Median across all companies of the sector we cover (from 5 stocks; several share classes of one company count once). Signed-in users also see P/E, P/S and dividend yield in the comparison. Describes the reported figures – not investment advice.

Key figures with traffic lights

Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median of all 22 symbols in the Energy sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).

Revenue growth

Light yellow: below sector

+13.6% per year, last 5 years

Sector Energy: median +14.8% (21 symbols)

What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 13.6% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+14.8%).

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net income (total)

Light gray: not computable

– per year, last 5 years

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.

Net margin

Light yellow: below sector

1.9% last fiscal year

Sector Energy: median 11.0% (21 symbols)

What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 1.91 USD remained as profit – less than the median company in the sector (11.0%). Five years ago the margin was −2.2%.

Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.

Debt / equity

Light green: lower than sector

0.42 latest balance sheet

Sector Energy: median 0.43 (21 symbols)

What does this mean? For every 1 USD of equity there is 0.42 USD of financial debt – no more than the median company in the sector (0.43). 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.

Payout ratio

Light green: covered

60% Dividend / earnings per share

Sector Energy: median 55% (16 symbols)

What does this mean? Of every 1 USD of earnings per share, 0.60 USD went to shareholders as a dividend. The rest stays in the company. Median company in the sector: 55%.

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.

Profitable years

Light yellow: 1 loss year

9 of 10 fiscal years with a profit

What does this mean? In 9 of the last 10 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. One year ended with a loss.

Light rule: Green: profit in every year · Yellow: one loss year · Red: several loss years (at least 3 years needed).

* Q4 derived: fiscal year minus the 9-month value (EPS cannot be derived this way); may be distorted by restatements.

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 over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
