Ned Davis Research Ned Davis Research (NDR) was founded in 1980 by Ned Davis, who believes that forecasting reliably ("Being Right") is "impossibly difficult", and adheres to the philosophy that one can consistently win ("aka Money") through a disciplined strategy of following objective indicator evidence. Hence, NDR has a strong belief in "flexibility" (the ability to adapt) and produces many sentiment indicators to warn investors at crowd extremes, and to help them be open-minded about potential trend changes. NDR dedicates it research to helping investors avoid major disasters, cut their losses, and let their profits run. As a result, NDR's research can best be characterized as an objective, disciplined approach that focuses on risk-management, staying in harmony with the primary trend, and avoiding disasters. NDR fuses various analytical techniques, such as technical, fundamental, intermarket, and macro to provide their clients with a well-rounded point of view.
NDR provides its research to over 1,000 institutions in more than 35 countries making it one of the largest independent providers of comprehensive institutional research. Until recently, NDR's research was only available to institutions.
NDR is a member of Investorside Research Association, an exclusive association of independent equity research providers who must meet and certify that they are free of investment banking services.
Company-specific research is updated weekly by noon on Mondays. NDR's unique research product features historical analysis on fundamental and valuation factors for individual equities, which provide objective assessments and quantitatively-based recommendations. This weekly service includes an objective stock rating based upon independent, fundamental and technical models, as well as additional perspectives about the stock. BUY, HOLD, NEUTRAL or SELL recommendations are included for each of the approximately 1,800 stocks in the universe.
Negative Earnings Surprises A negative earnings surprise occurs when a company's announced earnings (required four times per year) are lower than the consensus of what the market thought the company would announce by at least 5%. When you choose to show results in quintiles, the universe of searched stocks includes all stocks that have a percent decrease in reported earnings relative to the consensus for the time period reported. When you search for a specific value, enter a positive number to specify the change. All numbers are absolute numbers representing the magnitude of the change.
Net Asset Value (NAV) is the market value of a share of a mutual fund as calculated after the close of the previous trading day. The NAV for mutual funds and money markets is updated once per day, after the close of trading. All dates and times are reported in ET.
A negative surprise is usually interpreted by the market as bad news. Since the market tends to overreact to bad news, you can use this criterion to find companies that might be undervalued.
Negative Earnings Surprises (Last 7-Day) identifies negative earnings surprises (and their magnitude) within the past seven days. Negative Earnings Surprises (Last 30-Day) identifies negative earnings surprises (and their magnitude) within the past 30 days. Negative Earnings Surprises (Last 90-Day) identifies negative earnings surprises (and their magnitude) within the past 90 days. Back
Net Asset Value (NAV) The market value of a share of a mutual fund as calculated after the close of the previous trading day. The NAV for mutual funds and money markets is updated once per day, after the close of trading. All dates and times are reported in ET.
For Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), the dollar value of one share of an ETF determined by taking the total assets of an ETF subtracting the total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is calculated once per day at the close of the market, but an indicative NAV is calculated every 15 seconds for use by Authorized Participants for the creation/redemption process. When buying on the secondary market, you may receive less than NAV.
Net Change The dollar amount change in the price of the security since the previous day's close.
Net Change Percent The percent change in the price of the security since the previous day's close.
Net Income Per Employee A measure of productivity and efficiency, determined by dividing net income by total employees. For a business, this figure is the same as net profit. For an individual, this figure is the same as gross income.
Strict accounting guidelines state when sales can be recognized as income. Basically, a sale can only be recognized when the transaction is already realized, or can be quite easily realized. This means the company should have received a payment, or the chances of receiving a payment are high. Additionally, delivery of the good or service should have occurred for the sale to be recognized.
Net Insider Shares Bought The number of shares purchased by individuals who possess material information about a company. Material information is something that may be known by the company's board of directors or management.
Net Margin A company's profitability after all costs, expenses, and taxes have been paid. Net Margin is calculated by dividing Net Earnings by Revenues and then multiplying by 100. The result is expressed as a percentage. Net Margin is used to measure operating efficiency at a company.
News An indicator that news about a security is available. News is provided by an independent third-party provider not affiliated with Fidelity Investments.
No Transaction Fee (NTF) Funds Funds available through FundsNetwork without paying a transaction fee to Fidelity. A transaction fee is similar to a brokerage fee or commission, which you pay when buying or selling a stock. All fees as described in a fund's prospectus still apply. Redemption/exchange fees must be paid on those funds that charge such fees if shares are sold within certain time frames. Investors also still pay any fund level expenses, such as asset-based sales charges (12b-1 fees) and other fund expenses as detailed in the prospectus.
No Transaction Fee Funds (NTF) included in the Mutual Fund Evaluator include all no-load funds (and a few funds with a 12b-1 fee greater than .25%, which are not considered no-load funds) available without paying a transaction fee to Fidelity. Load funds are not included under the Evaluator's NTF identifier, although you do not pay a transaction fee on load funds. You are charged a sales load by the fund, a portion of which is paid to Fidelity.
Non-Participating Non-participating firms do not allow their names to be shown, regardless of whether their stock recommendations have performed better or worse than average.
N/R (Not Rated) Indicates an analyst has not covered the stock for at least 24 months, and therefore has not calculated a StarMine Ranking for it.
