  1. Adding Return on Assets as an “Evaluate Management” metric when studying bank stocks

    According to many resources, Return on Assets (ROA) is one of the best ways to evaluate profitability of a bank. %Pre-tax Profit on Sales is less useful when evaluating a bank, so I would suggest replacing that line with ROA for banks.

    The calculation is done in one of 2 ways:
    Return on Total Assets (ROTA) = CY Net Profit / CY Total Assets
    Return on Average Assets (ROAA) = CY Net Profit / ((CY Total Assets + PY Total Assets)/2)

    Where CY = current year; PY = previous year

    Both are used. ROTA would result in a more conservative…

  10. Under research tab have the sites grouped by type of information being sought.

    For example:
    Research (the heading tab)
    EPS estimates
    ----------------- Yahoo (linked to section with EPS estimates)
    ----------------- Reuter (etc)
    Competitors
    ----------------- Yahoo (linked to section with EPS estimates)

    This would serve to prompt the analyst to go to the better sites to consistently get quality information on the topic of interest.

  13. Add the TTM EPS to the printed SSG.

    This suggestion applies to the printouts in both the CoreSSG and SSGPlus. Since the TTM EPS is often used in the Low Price calculation and is often the start point of the EPS 5 year projection, the value should be printed on the form for reference. Suggest that the TTM EPS value be added to section 3, near the current P/E, and/or to the graph to annotate the most recent quarter (if one has been reported beyond the fiscal year).

  17. Add a visual divider between FY data and Q data in the EPS Forecast window.

    Some kind of visual divider between the FY and Q Data for the data displayed on the right side of the EPS Forecast pop-up (PTP Margin, shares outstanding, etc.) would make this data a little easier to read.

  20. For the quarterly data display, move the scroll bar to the bottom of the data grid.

    pre-select the bottom of the quarterly data table so the most recent data is immediately in view.
