Our methodology
Exactly how we get our numbers — so you can trust them and check our work.
Where the data comes from
Price history and company fundamentals are sourced from established market-data providers and refreshed regularly. Figures may be delayed and should be treated as approximate — always confirm with a primary source before making a decision.
How we calculate historical returns
For our “what if you invested” tools, we use the split- and dividend-adjusted monthly closing price at your chosen start date. We calculate how many shares your money would have bought, then value those shares at the most recent adjusted close.
- Total return — the percentage gain or loss from start to today.
- CAGR (per year) — the equivalent steady annual growth rate, calculated as (end ÷ start)^(1 ÷ years) − 1.
- Dividends — adjusted prices assume dividends were reinvested.
What the ratios mean
- P/E — share price ÷ trailing 12-month earnings per share.
- ROE — net income ÷ shareholder equity; how efficiently profit is generated from equity.
- Profit margin — net income ÷ revenue.
- Dividend yield — annual dividend ÷ share price.
Limitations
Past performance does not predict future results. Historical return tools are hypothetical and ignore taxes, trading costs, and the simple fact that nobody could have known the outcome in advance. Tickerpine is informational and educational only — it is not investment advice, and we don't tell you what to buy or sell.
