Hi,
Any reason that AAPL is indicating 0 for its dividend yield?

Allan

Taowave - 3 weeks ago

Hi,
I noticed that under key ratios,you have a dividend yield of 2.0% for RSH,yet it has an 8.0% yield if you double click to graph it.RSH has a quarterly dividend of 0.13.

It appears that the key ratio number is incorrect as RSH yields 8.0%.

Thank you,

Allan

In answer to the comment below, I like the tracking box. 20 years of data would be great.

Also suggest adding a Price at median EBTIDA or operating earnings - the reason is frequently "earnings" are distorted by non-recurring charges.

C.W.R. - 1 month ago

Is there a way to track dividend payout dates on the chart? It would be nice to have them laid out similarly to google.finance dividend info.

Thanks,
Cory

C.W.R. - 1 month ago

I'm not so keen on an x/y axis. A tracking ball is good enough. Also, may I suggest that your current system of a tracking box is super distracting? A tracking ball with date/price on top left or right would suffice.

I get really tired of trying to watch historical prices with that box bouncing and jiggling all over the place.

Thanks,
Cory

James,

Thanks for your suggestions! Maybe we need three y-axises : share price, ratio and financial data($Mil). We will think about the implementation of that.

For the data range, how long do you think is ok? Now we display data from January 2000 till now.

Can we also extend the data beyond 10 years?

Jameshou - 1 month ago

Can we have the option of having two axis? Eg. share price on left axis, and PE or PB ratio on the right hand side? Right now if you have both charts together, the share price chart can make the PE or PE ratio scale squashed.

Mark_F,

We have fixed the "Dividend Payout (%)" problem. Please have a try.

Mark_F - 1 month ago

Selecting "Dividend Payout (%) does not add the graph. Working with WMT.

Mark_F - 1 month ago

Trying to save setting with default time of 10 years. But it always goes back to 5 years the next time accessed.

Thx.

Ramthor - 1 month ago

Shouldn't net income from cashflow statement equal net income from income statement? Not so for WMT and TEF.

Regards, Robert

Few more suggestions:
1) Median P/B and P/E lines are both green colour - difficult to distinguish please change them to differenc colour.
2) Keep max and min P/* lines the same color as median but use ---- or .....
3) min and max p/* should be average of at least 2 years - sometimes 1 year data is an outlier.

Donli - 2 months ago

Pravchaw,

We changed the font-size of legend area. That will work for most of the cases.

Hi, Mark_F. did you see the "Save Settings" link in the top left corner drop-down menu of the chart?

Mark_F - 2 months ago

Would be nice if we could save our favorite settings across stocks and sessions.

Donli - 2 months ago

We added COGS to Revenue (%) and Inventory to Revenue (%) into per share data.

Don

Pravchaw - 2 months ago

Suggestions for couple of small improvements:
Please make the legend box a little bigger or font smaller. It is currently getting cut-off.
Also not able to use the "embed" functions for customized P/S, P/E, P/B. The line is not showing up in the embeded chart.

Pravchaw - 3 months ago

Thank you, Don. Great job.

Donli - 3 months ago

Hi Pravchaw,

We added "customized PE/PS/PB ratio" series.

Thanks for suggestions!

More power to you Gurufocus. This innovation makes GF a "one stop shop" for investors. This app will save me a great deal of time.

Thanks Pravchaw! Tangibles book per share series is ok now.

Pravchaw - 3 months ago

Something is wrong for graphing tangible book value. The program is grabbing the wrong figures.

Pravchaw - 3 months ago

Not sure why the % check box was removed. This makes it difficult to compare to indicies of stocks with $ differences - i.e. comparing Msft to goog

Pravchaw - 3 months ago

What I meant below was price at median p/fcf etc. Many of the advanced metrics which are capital structure neutral such as Enterprise Value/EBITDA or cash return [news.morningstar.com] can be put under premium metrics. These are very useful and unique numbers which no service currently provides. These are tedious to calculate and would offer great value to subscribers.

Pravchaw - 3 months ago

Thanks for adding the second Y axis.
Great work. This app is getting better and better. I use it everyday.

Couple of more suggestion for further enhancement.
1. Ability to edit P/E, P/S, P/B ratio's. (this would help users model scenario's to account of P/E compression or expansion assumptions).

2. Ability to project price based on growth - i.e. assuming 8% earnings growth and a given p/e - what would the price of JNJ be in 3 years.

You should also think of adding other metrics like P/FCF, cash return and enterprise value / ebitda etc.

Emilucho - 3 months ago

Hello. Just one suggestion: Removing the compare option (in %), there is no effective way to compare the sellected company with S&P or Dow, or any other company with a higher or lower stock price.
Anyway you are doing a great job. Interactive charts are really usefull. Congratulations !!

Donli - 3 months ago

Pravchaw and Adib,

We have added second Y axis for comparison. The left side Y axis is for Price/Valuation/Per Share Data. The right side Y axis is for Income Statement/Balance Sheet/Cash Flow Statement.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Don
GuruFocus.com

Gurufocus - 3 months ago

Adib,

what we have there is Free cash flow. In the case of GameStop, the FCF (TTM) was $4.74, therefore the price/FCF is around 5.

Thanks!

Richday101 - 3 months ago

The nice price chart on the "Guru Trades" tab has been taken off and replaced with a new chart. Not good. Now you have an added click to the "Summary" tab to get to this 10yr/5yr/1yr chart.

Donli - 3 months ago

Thanks Ramthor! We have fixed the issues on Balance Sheet | Long Term Debt/Total Equity.

Don
GuruFocus.com

Donli - 3 months ago

Now you could embed GuruFocus Interactive chart in your website. After you draw the series you selected just click "embed" button on the top right corner, you could get the embed code.

Pretty cool. I am running the charts for Nokia and RIM. Balance Sheet | Long Term Debt/Total Equity do not seem to work.

Thanks, Robert

Adib Motiwala - 3 months ago

I was running the chart for GameStop GME and it shows that the P/FCF is 5. I think that is Price to Operating Cash Flow. Please correct it. Are you displaying FCF or Cash Flow ? Even the Per Share FCF is incorrect. Its Per Share Cash Flow. Big difference!

Adib Motiwala - 3 months ago

I second the suggestion to add a 2nd Y axis to compare params like EPS and Share Count... right now doing so the EPS line is useless.. (its flat)

Gurufocus - 3 months ago

fekafie,

could you please explain your suggestion? Institutional money on the whole market or on particular stocks?

Fekafiemd - 3 months ago

I would like to see the flow of institutional money...please add this feature.

thank you

fekafie, MD

Pravchaw - 3 months ago

Another suggestion is to add a second Y axis(vertical axis). This way you could compare two variables i.e. eps and shares outstanding over time.

Donli - 3 months ago

Price change percentage is added on the top right corner. You could know the price change when you change the time period.

Don

Ken_hoang - 3 months ago

Hi, it would be very very useful to include the price/operating cash flow included in this charts for every single company. Thanks

DouginHartford - 3 months ago

The ratio charting for various periods is valuable.

I like to compare trailing averages to current values. Would it be possible to add several periods of trailing moving averages to the chart? E.g., 1 mo, 6 mo, 5 yr, 10 yr?

Donli - 3 months ago

We added both Insider Buys and Insider Sells series. Please have a try.

Don

Pravchaw - 3 months ago

Adding the ratio's is a real improvement. Can the colour of median P/B and P/E lines be made more distinct as different shades of green make it difficult to distinguish.

Also have you thought of adding industry metrics - i,e it would be useful to compare a stock price to median industry P/E or P/S etc.

Donli - 3 months ago

Richday101, we added calculated ratios in the chart legends area. Now when you draw MAX/Median/Min PS/PB/PE series, you will know the ratios. When you change the date range, those ratios will be automatically recalculated.

Thanks for suggestions!

Bill.Smith - 4 months ago

Most awesome guys!

Would it be possible to have an option to view the vertical axis in either linear or logarithmic?

Richday101 - 4 months ago

It would be nice to see the calculated ratios in the colour key box, e.g. if you select 3 ratios, Max P/E, Median P/E, Min P/E, it would be nice to see the actual ratio values in a box which can be changed and redrawn. For example, I like the min and max to cross the price chart at 2 points not just one, so I would change my selected values to Max P/E=20 (rather than 29), Min P/E=10 (rather than 7). This would be fabulous if it can be done. Thanks for developing these great charts for our use.

Regards,
Rick

Ecotycoon - 4 months ago

Great tool realy love it, good work :)

Ken_hoang - 4 months ago

Thanks, very nice work. It would be much better if the P/CF ratio was added in along with P/E, P/S, and P/B.

Donli - 4 months ago

Thanks for suggestion Dougt!
We added a input box "Get Interactive Chart for". You could input the symbol to go to a another stock chart.

Interactive chart is still under developing, thanks for any suggestions!

Don

Dougt@shaw.ca - 4 months ago

I like it but for all the displays for ticker symbol it seems I have to go up to the top box to enter a new ticker. Would be nice if each tab allowed you to change the ticker for that feature. Thanks

Greatimes - 4 months ago

Love it! I have/had many charting systerms but for fundamental data this is the best I've seen!

Pravchaw - 4 months ago

Another very useful metric would be Price at PEG.

Gurufocus - 4 months ago

Fixed, Pravchaw!

Thanks!

Pravchaw - 4 months ago

Hello Gurufocus - These are very nice charts - great work.

I noticed a data discrepancy for PG - price data is not adjusting for 2:1 stock split in June 2004.

Richday101 - 4 months ago

Don, that for adding "save settings".

Much appreciated,
Rick

Donli - 4 months ago

Richday101, "save settings" has been added. Now you could save your favorite metrics and apply to other quotes later.

Don

Gurufocus - 4 months ago

Hi, Mick! We have made some more enhancement to it. There is a "Percentage" checkbox, clicking that you will see the comparison in percentages.

Richday01, we are working on a "Save" function, with which you can choose your settings and display them in one click.

Could you please explain more about 'ratios (e.g. Min P/E, P/S) for the most RECENT QUARTER"? We thought they are there if you choose "1m" or "3m" on the time tab.

Thank you very much for the feedbacks! Looking forward to more.

GuruFocus.

Richday101 - 4 months ago

Very nice. Would like to see ratios (e.g. Min P/E, P/S) for the most RECENT QUARTER. We can see it for all the previous quarters but no for the latest.

Keep up the good work. We value investors appreciate your website.

Thanks and best regards,
Rick

Richday101 - 4 months ago

Very nice. I would like to be able to keep the previous settings, e.g. P/S for Max, Median, Min and 10 years and be able to go from symbol to symbol. It always goes back to 1 year and blanks for chart types. Should be able to set default or go back to what you used last.
Keep up the good work.

Regards,
Rick

Mick - 4 months ago

Very nice start! I'd like to see candlesticks as an option. Also, if more than one symbol is in the chart the Y-axis needs to become %, not absolute numbers. For example, try comparing any stock with price below $100 to S&P - an unhelpful display results.
Keep up the good work!

Gurufocus - 4 months ago

Please give us feedback on the chart. We are still working on this.
