Additional Ratings

The Additional Metrics tab provides users with a deeper layer of insight into the selected stock by presenting three distinct sets of data. The first two sections display ERS’s proprietary risk ratings, offering quantitative assessments of the company’s financial condition, risk profile, and investment suitability using custom-built scoring systems. The final section lists a set of traditional valuation ratios, giving users a more familiar view of how the stock is priced relative to its fundamentals. Together, these tables help investors evaluate both standard and advanced indicators of financial strength, stability, and valuation risk—all in one convenient view.

This section displays five of ERS’s core Proprietary Ratings, each designed to assess a different aspect of a company’s financial health or investment risk. All five ratings are scored on a scale from 0 (best) to 100 (worst):

  • PRI™ – Price Risk Indicator
  • FRI™ – Financial Risk Indicator
  • ERI™ – Equity Risk Indicator
  • FRR™ – Fiduciary Risk Rating
  • V1 – Valuation Metric 1

For detailed definitions and explanations of how each rating is calculated and applied, please refer to the Proprietary Ratings page.

This second group of Proprietary Ratings from ERS offers additional insight into a company’s financial condition and valuation from different analytical perspectives. These five ratings are scored on a unique scale ranging from +150 (best) to -250 (worst):

  • eLiquidity™ – Measures a company’s ability to manage its current debt.
  • eStrength™ – Measures a company’s long-term financial strength.
  • eDurability™ – Measures a company’s long-term record of growth and stability of revenues and equity while managing debt.
  • eValuation™ – Measures a company’s market cap relative to operating value.
  • Fiduciary Risk Navigator™ (FRN™) – The gold standard in risk ratings for fiduciaries.

The Valuation Metrics table displays six key financial ratios that help investors assess how expensive or risky a stock may be relative to its fundamentals. The first five metrics—Price to Sales (P/S), Price to Earnings (P/E), Price to Free Cash Flow (P/FCF), Price to Tangible Equity (P/TE), and Debt to Revenue (D/R)—are indicators where lower values typically reflect lower risk and a more attractive valuation. The final metric, Dividend Yield, reflects the percentage of return paid to shareholders as dividends, and higher values are generally considered more favorable as they increase total shareholder return.

This table gives a concise view of how the stock is currently valued, allowing users to compare these figures with historical averages, industry peers, or alternative investment opportunities.
