The company data graph is a key
element of the stock analysis, and SIG makes it easy by plotting
sales, pretax income, earnings, and (optionally) cash flow
per share on a semi-logarithmic chart. Occasionally, companies
will have an unusual occurrence or simply a bad year. SIG users
can easily remove these outliers from consideration in the
calculations by clicking on the year labels (at the bottom
of the graph). The graph scale may also be expanded while various
factors (pretax profit, sales, and cash flow per share) can
be shifted up or down on the graph.
Growth Calculations
SIG automatically calculates the average growth rates
for both Sales and Earnings Per Share. Other calculations presented
on this screen include the "Preferred Procedure" for
estimating future EPS and S&P ACE Estimates for NAIC data
service users.
