The basic interface with The Earnings Quality Monitor is the search screen. This is a powerful mechanism to interact with our database of more than 120,000 data items and target the display of companies to your interest, so you’re not overwhelmed with a report that contains companies that have characteristics that are not a priority to you. You can use this search function in conjunction with our multiple sort capability to organize your customized report and get the answers you need quickly.
As one example out of hundreds of possible uses, let’s say you query the database for companies in the Telecommunications Sector and then sort by highest dividend yield. You can then use the earnings quality rankings and financial liquidity metrics to assess the sustainability of the dividend going forward.
