Ranks & Ratings
Stock Ranks and Proprietary Data
What
Our proprietary ranking system that scores stocks on Quality, Value, and Momentum. The intellectual property that differentiates Stockopedia.
Why it matters
This is our proven methodology - the data-driven edge that helps investors put the odds in their favour.
How we do it
The Ranks & Ratings system is our proprietary methodology that transforms raw data into actionable investment signals.
Key processes
- Factor calculation - Computing Quality, Value, and Momentum scores for every stock
- Rank aggregation - Combining factors into composite StockRanks
- Style classification - Categorising stocks by investment style (Super Stocks, High Flyers, etc.)
- Backtesting - Validating that the methodology continues to work out-of-sample
The QVM framework
- Quality - Financial health, profitability, earnings quality
- Value - Price relative to fundamentals
- Momentum - Price and earnings momentum signals
Evolving our proprietary data
We’re always looking for opportunities to improve our proprietary data. The Daily Markets Intelligence initiative is building a knowledge graph of financial events - transforming regulatory news into structured, actionable signals that enhance our existing methodology.
