Methodology
Most stock tools hand you a P/E and ask you to trust it. Finpocalypse rebuilds every figure from the audited reports a company files with the SEC — so you can check the math against the source document. Here is exactly how it works.
From filing to grade
For every ticker we pull the full history of 10-K (annual) and 10-Q (quarterly) reports from SEC EDGAR and parse the structured XBRL facts — the same audited line items a company files with the regulator.
Source: SEC EDGAR · concepts: us-gaap:Revenues, NetIncomeLoss, EarningsPerShareDiluted, and 30+ more.
Quarterly facts are stitched into trailing-twelve-month (TTM) earnings, revenue, and cash flow so every multiple reflects a full year of operations, not a single seasonal quarter. Share counts are split-adjusted across the whole history.
TTM = sum of the last four reported quarters, reconciled against the annual 10-K when periods overlap.
TTM earnings and revenue are divided by the point-in-time price to produce a per-quarter P/E and P/S series stretching back a decade — every point anchored to a period that was actually reported, so nothing silently restates itself.
Each historical point uses the value known as-of that filing, not today's restated number.
The current multiple is scored against the company's own 10-year distribution — 25th (cheap), 50th (median), 75th (rich) — so you see whether it's cheap or expensive versus how the market has normally priced this specific business.
The valuation band on every ticker page is this distribution, drawn.
Valuation percentile, growth, profitability, and balance-sheet quality combine into a single A–F grade and a 0–100 score, so a company's whole profile reads at a glance — with every input still auditable underneath.
Inputs: P/E & P/S percentile, EPS & revenue growth, PEG, margins, ROE, current ratio.
The stance
No price targets
We never publish where a stock 'should' trade. We show where it does trade versus its own history.
No analyst estimates
Valuation is built from reported results, not consensus forecasts that get revised after the fact.
No vendor snapshots
Numbers come from the filings themselves, so a restatement two years later can't quietly rewrite your history.
No paywall
The full research surface — valuation, fundamentals, momentum, grade — is free.
Pick any company and every P/E, margin, and growth number will point back to the 10-K or 10-Q it came from.
