This is the official blog channel for the MQ Trader system by the Malaysia's Quantitative Traders Group.

A popular and simple fundamental theory promoted by some blogger on how to evaluate a stock is by analyzing the profit trend of the company. If the company is on target to achieve higher profit this year compare to the previous year, then it is deemed to be fundamentally sound, and the share price will likely follow suit to go higher.

Analyzing the profit trend of a company often involves digging through the company financial results (both quarterly and yearly), and then plot the trend line manually on an excel spreadsheet or reviewing other financial result tables. This method is tedious and error prone.

The MQ Trader system is making analysing financials data trend much simpler and quick by providing the Financials analysis function. We are going to show you how this can be done quickly and easily by using the stock VS for illustration purpose.

Users who have signed up for any package (Free Trial or Sponsored package) of the MQ Trader system can select the stock from the side bar on the left, or type in the stock code VS in the search box.
 
The first page you'll see is the large stock chart with Bollinger band drawn on top of the Candlestick price chart. Just click on the Stock name or the 3-line "hamburger bar" to the left of the stock name to pull out the option menu for this stock. Select the Fundamental -> Financials menu item, as per the screen capture below.
 
 

Financials Charts

You will be presented with the Quarterly Revenue Line Chart showing the Revenue trend over the past quarters. From this chart, it can be observed that the Quarterly Revenue of the company is improving steadily and is trending upward. In fact, the improvement accelerates in the past 4 Quarters, as per the screen capture below.
 
 
 
There are many other Financials data points you can select from the tool bar, such as Revenue, Profit, Earnings Per Share (EPS), Price Earning (PE) ratio, Dividend Per Share (DPS), Dividend Yield (DY), Net Asset Per Share (NAPS) and Return on Equity (ROE). You can also view the chart in Annual basis, as well as in Histogram or Line chart format.

How do you determine if a company pass the criteria: Potential higher earning this year compare to last year?

A company with potentially high earnings this year compare to the previous year will likely lead to increasing share price. To pass this criteria, a company must achieve higher T4Q earnings (or latest reported annual earnings) compare to the previous year's earnings.
