§12 RESEARCH - Fundamentals¶
Note
Fundamentals data is surfaced through the Research dossier at /research/:symbol. There is no standalone /fundamentals route.
OVERVIEW¶
Fundamentals is the financials surface inside the Research dossier. It consolidates three financial statements, a metrics grid, analyst estimates, earnings surprise history, and a peer comparison strip into a single tabbed interface.
The header shows the live quote, extended-hours mark where applicable, baseline metrics (P/E, EPS, dividend yield, 52-week range, average volume), and deeper ratios — forward P/E, PEG, EV/EBITDA, margins, ROE/ROA/ROIC, debt/equity, current/quick ratios, beta, payout ratio, short percent of float, and SMAs.
Dividend and split history covers ex-date and amount, with payment, declaration, and record dates filled in where available for Nasdaq- and NYSE-listed names. Foreign tickers are supported including estimates and peers.

HOW TO USE¶
- Open
/research/<TICKER>. The header shows the live quote, extended-hours mark, and chart. - Press F to open the Financials tab. Select Income Statement, Balance Sheet, or Cash Flow. Toggle Annual or Quarterly.
- Press O to open the Overview tab for the full metrics grid — valuation, profitability, leverage, liquidity, and trading metrics in one panel.
- Press E to open the Estimates tab for analyst revenue and EPS forecasts with consensus, high, and low per period.
- Navigate to the Earnings Surprises view for the prior-quarter EPS estimate vs. actual with surprise percentage and BEAT/MISS tag.
- Press P to open the Peers tab for the side-by-side comp strip.
- Use the [ COMPARE ] button in the header to load a second ticker for the metric strip.
Tip
Before an earnings trade, check the surprises history. Companies that have beaten estimates for six or more consecutive quarters tend to beat again; serial missers tend to miss. Earnings revisions relative to last quarter's print matter more than the absolute consensus number.
Tip
Before any swing trade longer than a day, pull the 5-year financials and check revenue trend, gross margin direction, and free cash flow generation. Then cross-reference the peer comp strip to assess whether the current multiple is stretched or compressed relative to the cohort.

LIMITS¶
Note
- Refresh cadence: Financials update on the order of minutes, not seconds.
- Restatement lag: Restated 10-Qs lag the original filing by approximately 3 days while numbers reconcile. Restatements overwrite the prior value — there is no diff view between the original and restated figures.
- Foreign issuers: Tickers without 20-F filings may return empty rows. Check the Filings tab for the latest available period.
- Recent IPOs: Issuers with fewer than 4 quarters of reporting history will not fill the free 4-period grid.
- Analyst estimates: Capped at 4 forward periods plus price-target consensus.
- Peer list: Top 5 peers by classification, selected automatically and not user-editable from this surface.
