Multi-Metric Stock Grader
Multi-Metric Stock Grader: Score Any Stock Across 5 Dimensions
Grade any stock from A+ to F across valuation, profitability, leverage, margins, and growth. Our composite scoring model highlights strengths and weaknesses at a glance.

No single metric tells the whole story. A stock can look cheap on P/E but have terrible margins, or show great growth but carry dangerous debt. The best fundamental analysis considers multiple dimensions simultaneously — and that is exactly what this grading tool does.
By scoring a stock across five fundamental pillars, you get a composite letter grade that quickly tells you whether you are looking at an A-grade business or a D-grade one. It is not a buy/sell signal — it is a starting point that highlights where to dig deeper.
Try It: Multi-Metric Stock Grader
Enter a stock's P/E ratio, ROE, debt-to-equity, net margin, and EPS growth rate. Each metric is scored out of 20 points, producing a composite score out of 100 and a letter grade.
The Five Dimensions
- Valuation (P/E): Are you paying a reasonable price for the earnings? Lower P/E scores higher.
- Profitability (ROE): How effectively does management deploy shareholder equity? Higher ROE scores higher.
- Leverage (D/E): How much debt risk does the company carry? Lower leverage scores higher.
- Margins: How much profit does the company extract from each dollar of revenue? Higher margins signal competitive advantages.
- Growth: Is the business growing earnings? Faster growth scores higher.
How to Use the Grades
- A+/A stocks are rare — cheap, profitable, low-debt, high-margin, fast-growing. These deserve deep research.
- B+/B stocks are solid across most dimensions with perhaps one weak area. Worth investigating the weakness.
- C stocks are average — not obviously broken, but not obviously compelling either. Proceed only with a specific thesis.
- D/F stocks have multiple weak dimensions. Could be a turnaround play, but the odds are against you.
