Metrics explained

EPS growth explained for stock research

EPS growth shows how earnings per share are changing, but it needs context from revenue, margins, share count, and one-off items.

EBITDA margin explained: what it shows and what it misses

EBITDA margin can help compare operating profitability, but it excludes important costs and should not be treated as cash flow.

Free cash flow margin explained for stock research

Free cash flow margin helps show how much revenue turns into cash after operating needs and capital spending.

Debt-to-equity ratio explained: leverage without the shortcuts

Debt-to-equity helps frame balance sheet leverage, but it needs industry context, cash flow, interest costs, and asset quality.

Return on equity explained for company quality research

Return on equity can point to efficient profit generation, but it needs context from leverage, buybacks, asset intensity, and sector norms.
