Ratings Exploration

Overview​

The Ratings Exploration profile is built for users who want to study MarketAlpha’s core rating system across liquid common shares. It brings together MarketAlpha Rating, EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating, and supporting trend and institutional metrics so you can compare overall stock quality in one place.

This profile is useful for researching long-term leaders, identifying improving or weakening companies, and building watchlists based on rating strength rather than short-term price action alone.

info

This profile updates in real time and includes only common shares with a Liquidity Rating above 70, helping you focus on tradeable stocks with reliable rating context.

Strategy Focus​

  • Compare companies using MarketAlpha’s core rating system
  • Identify long-term leaders, compounders, and laggards across liquid common shares
  • Review EPS, sales, and profit quality in one view
  • Confirm rating strength with institutional behavior and relative performance
  • Compare stocks within stronger or weaker industries and themes
  • Monitor upcoming earnings while evaluating the broader rating backdrop

Filters Applied​

This profile uses two filters to keep results focused and practical:

  • Ticker Type = Common Shares: Limits the list to operating companies rather than other instrument types.
  • Liquidity Rating > 70: Ensures the results remain focused on liquid names with stronger market participation and better execution quality.

These filters make the profile more useful for both research and live screening.

Metrics Used​

Core Ratings​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: A composite signal that combines multiple technical, structural, and fundamental inputs into one overall rating.
  • EPS Rating: Measures earnings strength across both recent and longer-term EPS trends.
  • Sales Rating: Measures the consistency and quality of revenue growth.
  • Profit Rating: Measures profitability and capital efficiency through margin and return-based inputs.

Institutional Behavior and Sentiment​

  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Helps show whether price and volume behavior suggest institutional buying or selling pressure.

Relative Strength and Trend Context​

  • Relative Strength 1 Month, Relative Strength 1 Year: Add both medium-term and longer-term performance context.
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Help show whether the stock is operating inside a stronger or weaker long-term group.

Price Action and Timing​

  • Last Price ($), Change From Close (%): Add current price context to the rating view.
  • 52 Week High (%): Helps identify whether stronger-rated stocks are near important breakout levels.
  • Return Year to Date (%): Adds performance context across the current year.
  • Next Earnings In Days: Helps you monitor upcoming event risk while researching rating strength.

Liquidity and Sorting​

  • Dollar Volume Rank: Keeps the most liquid and actively watched names near the top of the profile.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to prioritize liquid names with stronger market visibility and participation.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Find long-term leaders with strong ratings and institutional support
  • Identify weaker names where ratings and relative performance are deteriorating
  • Build quality watchlists across liquid common shares
