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.

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…

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

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).
