EARNINGS – SEQUENTIAL OR ANNUAL?

about 6 years ago

The earnings season has started and once again, we face the same dilemma while analyzing the performance - Quarter-on-Quarter (QoQ) or Year-on-Year (YoY)?

CAUGHT IN THE CROSS-FIRE OF JARGONS

about 6 years ago

There are so many jargons and sometimes, the common man is caught right in these war or words, literally, not knowing what to do. The biggest confusion right now is -cyclical and seasonal. Discerning analysts are currently recommending cyclical stocks and then there are some who say that it is best to buy into selective seasonal stocks. Then there are growth stocks and defensive stocks. And we thought we were buying only into stocks?

AND SO THE ‘CYCLE’ TURNS….

about 8 years ago

Well, these various jargons are used by brokerage houses to collectively indicate where they are currently parking their funds. Ultimately they all remain growth stocks – fundamentally sound but with that, these various categories are like a subset.

about 11 years ago

In our hugely popular Stock Query section, we come across many subscribers asking us this very question - should they look at the performance of their stock on a QoQ or YoY.
