We derive the score of a company's financial statements by evaluating the weighted average sentiment across key within the statements. The cumulative score, normalized to a sum of 1, serves as a metric for assessing the company's performance during the specified period. A higher score indicates stronger performance. However, it's crucial to note that while this score provides valuable insights, it is just one of many factors to consider when making informed investment decisions. A holistic evaluation, considering various aspects of the company's financial health and market conditions, is essential for a well-rounded investment strategy.

Positive EPS: A positive EPS signifies that a company is profitable, it is generally viewed positively, supporting stock value and investor confidence.
Negative EPS: Indicates that a company is operating at a loss, which could lead to negative sentiment, potential stock depreciation, and concerns about the company's financial health.

An upward trend in EPS suggests consistent growth in earnings, often leading to increased investor confidence. A downward trend may indicate a decline in earnings, potentially decreasing investor confidence and stock value.

Analyzing dividends is a crucial aspect of investment evaluation, offering valuable insights into a company's financial health and its commitment to shareholder returns. Dividends represent a portion of a company's profits distributed to its shareholders, providing a steady income stream. We help you analyze dividends based on the indicators mentioned below:
• Investors often assess the average dividend amount, observing trends over time to gauge the company's stability and growth potential. A positive trend in average dividends indicates a consistent and potentially lucrative investment. Additionally, evaluating the trend of dividend increases provides insight into the company's financial strength and management's confidence in future earnings.
• Consistency in paying dividends is a reassuring sign, reflecting a company's reliability and commitment to shareholder value. For investors, dividends not only offer income but also contribute to the overall total return on investment.
• Companies with a history of regular and increasing dividends can attract income-focused investors seeking stable returns, making dividends a critical factor in building a well-rounded investment portfolio.
