The Performance section in FAST Graphs provides a detailed analysis of a stock's performance over a selected timeframe, allowing for comprehensive comparisons with other tickers. This section is divided into three key parts:
Comparison Chart
Cumulative Change Chart
The Cumulative Change Chart illustrates the cumulative change in the stock price and the cumulative change of a selected metric over the specified period. This chart helps in understanding the stock's price movement in relation to its fundamental performance.
Valuation Comparison Chart
The Valuation Comparison Chart displays the weekly closing PE ratio (or price to metric ratio such as Price to Sales, Price to EBITDA, Price to OCF, etc.) against the fair value PE (or fair value Price to Metric) calculated for the same timeframe. This chart assists in evaluating the stock's valuation in relation to its fair value over time.
