Market cap

What the whole company costs at today's price.

How it's worked out

Share price multiplied by every share in issue.

How to read it

It is the company's size, not its value. A big number is not expensive and a small one is not cheap — that is what the multiples below are for.

Adv / dec Avg today Turnover Median YTD

Year-to-date return

How the share price has moved since 1 January, before dividends.

How it's worked out

Today's price against the last close of the previous year, as a percentage.

How to read it

It is a PRICE return, so a company that paid a large dividend looks worse here than a holder actually did. The calendar start is arbitrary — a stock that fell in December and recovered in January looks strong for reasons that have nothing to do with the business.

Median P/E

P/E ratio

Rupees you pay for each rupee the company earned last year.

How it's worked out

Share price divided by earnings per share over the last twelve reported months.

How to read it

Lower looks cheaper, but only against something — the same company's history, its sector, or the market. A P/E on its own means very little, and it is blank when a company lost money.
