Methodology

Each sub-score is computed independently on a 0-100 scale using transparent thresholds. For example, a P/E below 20 scores well on value; ROE above 15% scores well on quality. If a sub-score cannot be computed (missing data), its weight is redistributed across the remaining sub-scores, so a ticker without analyst data still receives a meaningful composite.

Alpha Score is updated daily. It is an educational research aid and is not a buy or sell recommendation. High scores indicate stocks whose fundamentals, price action, and sentiment align favourably by our rules; they do not guarantee future performance.
