How It Works

From the main Dashboard, select the "Chart by Metric" mode. This will open an interactive form where you can build your custom chart:

  • Add Companies: Start with one or two rows. Click the "+ Add Company" button to add up to five rows to your comparison.
  • Select Ticker: In each row, enter the ticker symbol for the company you want to analyze.
  • Select Metric: For each company, choose the specific financial metric you want to plot from the dropdown menu. This is where the power lies—you are not limited to comparing the same metric.
  • Generate Chart: Once you've configured your comparison, click "Generate Chart" to instantly see your custom visualization.

Use Case Examples

This feature unlocks deeper analytical possibilities. For instance, you can:

  • Compare Revenue vs. Profitability: Plot Apple's Revenue on the same chart as Microsoft's Net Income to see how each company's top-line growth compares to the other's bottom-line profit.
  • Analyze Cash Flow vs. Debt: Chart Amazon's Free Cash Flow against its Long Term Debt to visualize how its cash generation capabilities are managing its liabilities over time.
  • Industry Peer Analysis: Compare the Gross Profit of NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel on a single chart to quickly identify the leader in operational efficiency within the semiconductor industry.
