Common questions

No. PickCompanion is a research publication. Every score, rating, and reason is generated by a quantitative model from public data and is identical for every reader. Nothing on the site is tailored to you or tells you what to do. Decisions are yours, ideally with a licensed adviser if you want personal advice.

Each company is measured on about thirty factors in five groups: growth, quality (profitability and efficiency), balance sheet, valuation, and momentum, plus a risk penalty. Each factor is compared against other companies in the same sector and turned into a percentile. The groups are weighted and combined into a 0 to 100 score. The full method is described on each company page in the detailed view and on the How it works page.

They are labels for where a score ranks: roughly the top 3 percent, the next 12 percent, the middle, and the bottom 15 percent. They describe the model's reading of the numbers. They are not instructions.

Financial statements come from companies' own SEC filings. Prices come from a licensed market-data provider. Headlines come from a licensed news feed and link to the original publisher. Every figure on the site shows when it was last updated, and every reason shows the filing it came from.

Rankings are recalculated every trading day after the close. Prices are the latest close during the build phase and will move to delayed quotes at launch. Fundamentals update when companies file.

A labeled AI reading of recent headlines about a company: leaning positive, neutral, or negative, with the headlines it rests on. It is shown for context and does not affect the score. AI can misread; click through to the sources.

An attention gauge built from unusual trading volume and the number of headlines versus the company's usual level. High attention can mean a breakout or a pump, so it's a reason to look closer, not a signal by itself. It does not affect the score.

Only if you enter trades in the portfolio tracker, which stays private to your account. The rankings never look at your holdings, and the site never suggests what to do with them.

Yes, any time, in one click from your account page once billing is live. Access continues until the end of the period you paid for.
