Fundamental metric columns

TermScreenersIntermediate

Fundamental metric columns are the measured values a screener's results table shows for each match: company financials, growth rates, valuation multiples, dividend figures and price-derived measures. There are 35, spread across five tabs. A column reports what the instrument reads today; it is not a filter, and showing one does not screen on it.

Also seen as: results columns, results-table columns

How does Fincanva handle it?

The results table splits its columns across five tabs — Overview, Returns, Fundamentals, Ratios and Dividend — and switching tabs changes the columns, never the instruments. The 35 include the identity and classification columns (Symbol, Asset type, Exchange, Country, Sector, Industry) that sit beside the metrics, and several appear on more than one tab. Where a measurement basis needs stating, a small unit line sits under the header — TTM, TTM · YoY, YoY or %. A cell with no value reads as a dash rather than a zero, because a missing reading and a reading of zero are not the same thing. What every column shows, tab by tab, is in Read the columns of your matches.

Which columns have a page of their own?

Four of the 35 have their own concept page, because the same term appears elsewhere in the product and not only as a column header: instrument behind Symbol, asset subtype, Sharpe ratio and beta. A fifth page covers no column of its own: TTM and YoY is the shared measurement basis behind the six growth columns. The remaining columns are defined in the guide and in the hint each header carries in the app on hover.

Sharpe and Beta here describe the individual instrument's own price history, not a strategy's. They are not the figures a backtest reports for a strategy over a chosen period, and the two should not be read against each other: this Sharpe, unlike a backtest's, subtracts no risk-free rate — see Does the screener's Sharpe subtract the risk-free rate?
