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.
Asset Universe Rank
The asset’s quantitative rank within the analyzed asset universe for the selected scoring snapshot. Original published ranks are preserved when an editorial table shows only a subset of assets.
Asset Name
The ranked asset in this Top Picks view, including name, ticker, market category, and listing context where available.
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 Dividend Contribution
Annualized net dividend contribution used by the scoring pipeline, estimated from historical cash-dividend events after tax assumptions and outlier filtering. When a legacy immutable snapshot omitted the input field, the page derives the contribution only from that snapshot’s frozen dividend-inclusive and price-only return outputs; it never substitutes current dividend data.
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.
