Key figures with traffic lights

Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median of all 22 symbols in the Energy sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).

Revenue growth

Light yellow: below sector

+9.1% per year, last 5 years

Sector Energy: median +14.8% (21 symbols)

What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 9.1% 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.

Net income (total)

Light green: growing

+65.5% per year, last 5 years

per share: +66.0% per year (5 years, split-adjusted)

What does this mean? Total net income: over 5 years it grew by 65.5% per year on average. Comparable values for a sector comparison are missing.

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net margin

Light green: above sector

21.9% last fiscal year

Sector Energy: median 11.0% (21 symbols)

What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 21.91 USD remained as profit – at least as much as the median company in the sector (11.0%). Five years ago the margin was 2.7%.

Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.

Debt / equity

Light red: much higher

2.13 latest balance sheet

Sector Energy: median 0.43 (21 symbols)

Light rule: Green: at most the sector median · Yellow: up to twice the median · Red: more than twice · Gray: without a sector comparison.

Payout ratio

Light yellow: high

93% Dividend / earnings per share

Sector Energy: median 55% (16 symbols)

Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.

* Q4 derived: fiscal year minus the 9-month value (EPS cannot be derived this way); may be distorted by restatements.

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 over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
