Stock comparison tool

Put up to five companies side by side and compare the main fundamental metrics: P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA, ROE, margin, debt, dividend yield, growth and PEG. Each metric becomes a 0–10 score and a radar chart shows each company’s profile.

Method, assumptions and sources

Formulas

P/E = price ÷ earnings per share; P/B = price ÷ book value per share
EV/EBITDA = (price × shares + net debt) ÷ EBITDA; debt/EBITDA = net debt ÷ EBITDA
ROE = EPS ÷ book value per share; net margin = EPS × shares ÷ revenue
Dividend yield = dividends per share ÷ price; PEG = P/E ÷ earnings growth (%)
Score = 10 × (value − worst) ÷ (best − worst) on each metric; average score = simple mean of the 8 scores

Assumptions and limits

  • Each metric’s score is interpolated between the worst (0) and the best (10) company in the group; lower is better for P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA, debt and PEG. Metrics without a valid value (negative earnings or EBITDA) score 0.
  • Compare companies in the same industry: banks, retailers and utilities have very different multiples.
  • Calculation tool using data entered by the user. It is not securities analysis or a recommendation to buy or sell; investment decisions are the user’s responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

Which metrics should I use to compare stocks?

This calculator uses eight common ones: P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA, ROE, net margin, net debt ÷ EBITDA, dividend yield and PEG. Together they cover price, profitability, debt and growth. No single metric is enough on its own.

Can I compare companies from different industries?

It is better not to. Banks, retailers, utilities and tech companies have very different multiples, margins and debt levels, so the scores would reflect the industry rather than the company. Compare businesses of the same kind.

What is EV/EBITDA?

Enterprise value (market cap plus net debt) divided by EBITDA. It compares the price of the whole company, including its debt, with the cash its operations generate. Lower usually means cheaper, within the same industry.

How are the 0 to 10 scores calculated?

For each metric, the best company in the group gets 10 and the worst gets 0, with the others in between in proportion. For P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA, debt and PEG, lower is better; for ROE, margin and dividend yield, higher is better. The average score is the simple mean of the eight.

How do I read the result of the example on the page?

In the example with four fictional companies, Company A ranks first with an average score of 6.5 out of 10, followed by Company D (6.2). Company A is not the best on any single metric, but it is rarely among the worst. Company B has the highest ROE (21.7%) and the best PEG (0.99), but it is the most expensive on P/E (15.8) and P/B and ranks last, at 4.9.

Where do I find the data for each company?

In the financial statements on the company’s investor relations website, in the securities regulator’s filing system (such as EDGAR in the U.S.) and on fundamental analysis platforms. Use trailing twelve months for earnings, EBITDA and dividends, and the latest balance sheet for equity and net debt.

Is a company with a high score a good buy?

Not necessarily. The score only compares the companies you entered, with equal weight for every metric, and does not assess management, industry, risks or fair value. Use it to choose which companies to study further, and consider talking to a licensed financial professional before investing.

How to compare stocks using fundamental metrics

Putting companies from the same industry side by side helps you see which one is cheaper, which one is more profitable and which one carries more risk. No single metric decides: a company can have the lowest P/E for a good reason, such as falling earnings or high debt.

The main metrics

MetricFormulaBetter when
P/Eprice ÷ earnings per sharelower
P/Bprice ÷ book value per sharelower
EV/EBITDA(market cap + net debt) ÷ EBITDAlower
ROEnet income ÷ shareholders’ equityhigher
Net marginnet income ÷ revenuehigher
Net debt ÷ EBITDAyears of EBITDA needed to pay off the debtlower
Dividend yielddividends per share ÷ pricehigher
PEGP/E ÷ earnings growthlower

How the scores work

For each metric, the best company in the group gets 10 and the worst gets 0; the others fall proportionally in between. The score is relative to the group: it shows who stands out among the companies you chose, not whether they are good in absolute terms. The radar chart shows each profile: one company may be cheap and indebted, another expensive and highly profitable.

Compare within the same industry

Banks, retailers, utilities and tech companies have very different multiples and margins. A P/E of 6 can be normal for a bank and extremely low for a software company. That is why you should compare businesses of the same kind.

Where to find the data

In the financial statements companies publish (investor relations websites and the securities regulator’s filing system) and on fundamental analysis platforms. Use trailing twelve months for earnings and EBITDA so seasonality does not distort the numbers.
