Ranking
Ranking Module
The Japan Analytics Ranking Module ranks the universe of listed companies by 40 key factors including margins, returns, Japan Analytics Scores and valuation. The module defaults to open on Price Change 1D%. Results are displayed initially in descending order for the factor selected together with the stock code, company name and current market capitalization. Wherever possible the factors use data from the trailing twelve months (TTM). Null values and, in some cases such as PER or EV/OP, negative values are not displayed.
Factors are arranged in 4 groups, Revenue & Margins, Returns, Scores and Valuation.
Revenues & Margins
Revenue Growth TTM - The percentage change in Revenue/Ordinary Income for the most recent twelve months compared with the same twelve-month period one year before.
Revenue Forecast v TTM% - The percentage difference between the most recent forecast of Revenue/Ordinary Income for the current year and the realized Revenue for the most recent twelve-month period.
Gross Margin - For Non-Financial companies, Gross Profit (Revenue less Cost of Goods Sold) divided by Revenue for the most recent twelve-month period expressed as a percentage.
Operating Profit Margin - Operating Income/Ordinary Profit divided by Revenue/Ordinary Income for the most recent twelve-month period expressed as a percentage.
OPM Forecast - TTM - The percentage point difference between the most recent forecast of OP Margin and the realized OP Margin for the most recent twelve-month period.
Core NOPAT Margin - For Non-Financial companies, Core Operating Income After Tax divided by Revenue for the most recent twelve-month period expressed as a percentage.
NOPAT Margin - For Non-Financial companies, Net Operating Income After Tax divided by Revenue for the most recent twelve-month period expressed as a percentage.
Net Margin - Net Income divided by Revenue/Ordinary Income for the most recent twelve-month period expressed as a percentage.
Compr. Income Margin - Comprehensive Income to Common Equity divided by Revenue/Ordinary Income for the most recent twelve-month period expressed as a percentage.
CI Margin – Net Margin - Comprehensive Income Margin minus Net Margin.
Returns
Return on Operating Assets - For Non-Financial companies, Return on Operating Assets is Net Operating Income After Tax (adjusted for Operating Leverage) for the trailing twelve-month period divided by Average Operating Assets for the period expressed as a percentage.
Operating Leverage - For Non-Financial companies, the Operating Leverage Effect is Operating Liability Leverage (Average Operating Liabilities divided by Average Net Operating Assets) multiplied by the spread between the Return on Operating Assets and the cost of borrowing. The effect can be favorable (where the spread is positive) or unfavorable (where the spread is negative).
Return on Net Oper. Assets - For Non-Financial companies, Return on Net Operating Assets is Net Operating Income After Tax divided by Average Net Operating Assets for the most recent twelve-month period expressed as a percentage. It is also the sum of Return on Operating Assets and the Operating Leverage Effect. Return on Net Operating Assets is unaffected by Financial Leverage.
Financial Leverage - For Non-Financial companies, the Financial Leverage Effect is Leverage (Net Financial Liabilities divided by Net Assets) multiplied by the spread between the Return on Net Operating Assets and the cost of borrowing. A positive Financial Spread produces a positive Financial Leverage Effect while a negative Spread will result in a negative Financial Leverage Effect. If a company has Net Financial Assets, there will usually be net financial income and effect will be negative. A positive Financial Spread has a negative Financial Leverage Effect reducing Return on Equity and a negative Financial Spread has a positive Financial Leverage Effect increasing Return on Equity.
Return on Equity (CI) - Comprehensive Income Return to Common Equity is the sum of Return on Net Operating Assets and the Financial Leverage Effect after allowing for the effect of minority interests, Warrants, Preference Shares and Adjustments. Companies with negative Net Assets have been excluded. For companies reporting on a parent company basis only Net Income after valuation and translation adjustments is used in place of Comprehensive Income to Common Equity.
Return on Equity - Return on Equity is Net Income for the most recent twelve-month period divided by Average Shareholder’s Equity for the period. RoE is impacted by financial leverage and includes income from both operating and non-operating activities. Companies with negative Net Assets have been excluded.
Core Return on NOA - For Non-Financial companies, the Core Return on Net Operating Assets is Core Operating Income After Tax for the most recent twelve-month period divided by Average Net Operating Assets for the period.
Residual Core Return - For Non-Financial companies, the Residual Return on Net Operating Assets is Core Operating Income After Tax and Minorites less a 6% charge on Average Net Operating Assets for the most recent twelve-month period divided by Average Net Operating Assets.
6M Price Index - The percentage change in stock price from six months ago, excluding the most recent month. This can be used as an intermediate term indicator of price momentum.
12M Price Index - The percentage change in stock price from one year ago, excluding the most recent month. This can be used as an intermediate term indicator of price momentum.
