Financial Ratios

Hi I know I have asked a similar question on this forum before but what I am trying to find out is whether the some kind of central online repository with company ratios? PE, Quick ratio, etc. I know this might seem lazy but instead of going through each company's financial, extracting the relevant info and calculating the ratios, it would be nice to be able to view ratios, compare companies, and then narrow them down to a few of interest and then do extensive research on the few. I know OST has ratios for some companies but I don't think all of them and it may take some time before these are published after the financials are released.

OST has all of these ratios per company - go to the financials - or quick ratios page for each company. However, to be able to get a central repository where you can search based on current ratio, no - I have no idea where you could get that.

You could start by having a look at the share filter. I use this facility to get basic info such as PE ratios for all companies greater (>) 1 and less than 10 (<). go to "Find or trade" > "share filter" then check the criteria. Play with those options and they should go a long way to solving your problem

Hi Johny, yes the share filter will do this for you. There are a number of variable that it will allow you to enter...eg PE ratio , DY % EY%, Capitalization as well as forward DYs and EYs etc

I use a daily download from sharenet. The file I download contains the DY & EY plus some more data.
