Changes to the Screeners’ Output

 

I’ve retooled the screeners to add some new information at the request of some users. In addition to the acquirer’s multiple and its components–enterprise value and operating earnings–, and descriptive data–share price, symbol, name, industry, and market capitalization–the screener now shows several additional fundamental measures.

Those measures include each company’s net cash position (cash and equivalents less total debt), the price-to-earnings ratio (where earnings exclude extraordinary items), free cash flow / enterprise value, buyback yield (trailing twelve months share repurchases / market capitalization), dividend yield and shareholder yield (which is buyback yield plus dividend yield).

I’m interested in constantly improving the screeners to make them more useful, so if you have any suggestions, feels free to drop me a line at tobias@acquirersmultiple.com or leave a comment below.
