Per Share Graph

The Per Share Graph (the Brown Graph) is the default graph that is drawn when accessing FUN Graphs. This graph displays data from the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement of the stock all in per share numbers. Any and all of the items under the dropdown menu to the left of the graph can be plotted at any time by clicking the checkbox next to the corresponding item.

Ratios Graph

The Ratios Graph (the Green Graph) displays liquidity ratios such the Quick and Current Ratios, and valuation ratios.

In Millions Graph

The In Millions Graph (the Red Graph) displays everything that the Per Share Graph (the Brown Graph) shows, but in millions instead of per share amounts.

The graphs are relatively simple, but they are designed to help you quickly see company performance and health without needlessly cluttering your screen. They all show up to 20 years of historical data or up to the last 8 quarters, and are all designed with the same dropdown menu system to the left of the graph area. Below the graph are data points that give you more information on the graphs. These data points display:

The date
The corresponding data points
Compound growth per year
Average Growth over the selected timeframe
Compound Average Growth (CAGR) over the selected timeframe

At any point, you can switch easily between the 3 graphs by clicking on the tabs above the graph area, and below the ticker search bar. Each of these 3 graphs displays different information to help you analyze a company quicker and more in-depth.
