About this comparison — data, methodology, limits
Where the data comes from. All live numbers (price, P/E, market cap, range, dividends, etc.) are pulled in real time from Yahoo Finance via our backend. They match what you'd see on yahoo finance for the same moment. Cached for 60 seconds per pair to keep costs sane — for ultra-fast moves, refresh to re-fetch.
Why some rows may be missing. Yahoo doesn't publish every field for every ticker — beta, analyst price targets, and price-to-sales are commonly absent on ETFs, newer listings, or thinly-covered names. When a field is missing for both stocks, the row hides automatically rather than show a misleading "—" comparison.
How the "winner" is decided per row. Each metric has a clearly-labelled criterion — lower P/E wins on the "cheaper" axis; smaller drawdown wins on the "less recent pain" axis; higher dividend wins on the "income" axis. Read the small italic note under each row for what each comparison actually measures.
What "profile" labels mean. Profile labels (Defensive / Stable / Balanced / Growth / High-volatility growth) and return-level labels (Modest / Steady / Moderate / Higher potential / Highest potential) are heuristics — directional rules of thumb based on live beta, P/E, dividend yield, and 52-week range. They're descriptive, not predictive. A stock labelled "Higher potential" tends toward bigger moves in both directions; it's not a prediction of future returns.
What this isn't. Aperifi Compare is a way to read two stocks side by side. It is not investment advice, a buy/sell recommendation, or a forecast. Winning on the live numbers today doesn't mean a stock will deliver higher returns tomorrow — markets are messier than that. Use this to understand each name's profile, then make your own call.
