Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median Sector medianThe middle value of all companies in a sector: half are above it, half below. Unlike the average, single outliers hardly distort it.Example: Margins 4%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 60% → median 10%, average 18.8%.More in the Academy: Lesson putting the P/E in context of all 22 symbols in the Energy sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).
+1.0% per year, last 5 years
Sector Energy: median +14.8% (21 symbols)
What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 1.0% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+14.8%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
– per year, last 5 years
per share: not available

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
0.0% last fiscal year
Sector Energy: median 11.0% (21 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 0.03 USD remained as profit – less than the median company in the sector (11.0%). Five years ago the margin was −11.1%.
Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.
1.09 latest balance sheet
Sector Energy: median 0.43 (21 symbols)

How we calculate: values as first reported to the SEC (later corrections are left out), a fixed order of reporting tags per figure, partial sums are never added up. Growth per year Growth per year (CAGR)The average annual growth rate over several years, as if the value had grown equally strongly every year. Individual good or bad years even out in it.Example: Revenue €100m → €161m in 5 years → (161 ÷ 100) to the power of 1/5 − 1 = 10% per year.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
