Table Definitions

Definitions for every metric available in the Top Picks table.

Note: To sort the table, click the header of the column you want to sort.

Editorial Category Rank: The selected asset’s position within this edition’s editorial category. This human-reviewed selection order is independent of its quantitative universe rank.
iPulse Rank: The asset’s original quantitative rank across all analyzed assets for the selected horizon and scoring snapshot. 1 is the highest iPulse Score. This same overall rank is preserved on Buy, Sell, category and editorial pages; it is not reversed for Sell lists.
Asset Name: The number beside each asset is its position within this selected list, followed by its name, ticker and market context. Buy lists start with the strongest buy candidate; Sell / Short lists start with the strongest sell candidate. Sorting or filtering does not rewrite these assigned positions. The separate iPulse Rank shows the original overall quantitative rank.
Price Data Cutoff Date: The market price date used for this row. Recomputed ranking snapshots can use newer closes than the original deep-analysis batch.
Cross-Horizon Score: A governed 0-100 candidate score that combines the remaining one-year outlook with confirmed five-year direction, confidence, financial health, and risk. It supports editorial review and does not replace either horizon rating.
iPulse Score: iPulse AI Consensus Score combines expected return, risk-adjusted return, advisor agreement, and risk-pressure inputs into one ranked signal.
Consensus Rating: Consensus Rating is the plain-language buy, hold, or sell interpretation of the iPulse AI consensus score for the selected horizon.
Expected Return Including Dividends: Total compounded expected return over the full selected horizon, including reinvested annual net dividends when applicable.
Annualized Return: Annualized expected return expressed as a one-year-equivalent rate for the selected forecast horizon.
Net Annual Dividend Yield: Current rankings use regular cash entitlements from the trailing 12 months divided by the dated current price, after modeled issuer-based withholding. Splits, currencies and quoted subunits are normalized; special and variable payments are excluded from recurring income. A two-year annualized comparison is shown on asset pages. This is a model assumption, not personalized tax. Original and historical snapshots retain their published assumptions; missing legacy yields may be derived only from their frozen returns.
P/E Ratio: Trailing P/E ratio. For example, 21.7 means the market value is 21.7x trailing earnings.
Event Risks: The Event Risks column summarizes clustered consensus frictions and tail risks as Very Low (0-19), Low (20-39), Moderate (40-59), High (60-79), or Very High (80-100). The number is a relative pressure score, not a probability of loss or a complete measure of investment risk.
Financial Health: 0-100 equity-only financial quality score using liquidity, leverage safety, profitability, cash generation, and operating trend.
Annualized Historic Volatility: Annualized historical price volatility from daily returns, used as a risk denominator in scoring.
Direction Agreement: Percentage of advisors whose predicted direction matches the consensus direction.
Grouped Voices: Vote-count summary across raw voices, distinct advisors, personas, models, and adjusted grouped votes.
Advisors: Number of distinct advisor identities contributing forecasts for this asset in the selected batch, mode, and horizon.
Forecast Price / Initial Price: Projected consensus price at the selected horizon, shown against the initial/latest close price used by the snapshot.
