Data and Ratio Methodology

Last updated: April 24, 2026

Wrqti's methodology explains how we collect stock and financial statement data, calculate financial ratios, and decide when to show an empty value instead of an unreliable number. The goal is to help Saudi and Gulf investors read financial data clearly, not to provide buy or sell recommendations.

Our baseline rule is simple: when the available data is not sufficient for a reliable calculation, Wrqti prefers transparency and leaves the value empty instead of inventing a number.

Data Sources

Wrqti relies on automated sync jobs from third-party market data sources when available, including public sources such as Yahoo Finance, plus internally processed data stored in Wrqti's database. Coverage can differ by ticker depending on source availability.

If Wrqti data differs from official filings, company reports and exchange filings remain the higher authority. We recommend checking official documents before making material financial decisions.

Data Updates

  • Prices and market data update when sync jobs run and source data is available.
  • Financial statements update after reports become available through data providers.
  • News and text analysis may update on a different cadence than prices and statements.
  • Stock pages show the latest available update date when it is available.

Ratio Calculations

Wrqti calculates ratios only from available inputs. These are the main formulas used when inputs are present:

  • PE ratio: current price divided by trailing 12-month EPS, or market cap divided by net income when appropriate.
  • Price to sales: market cap divided by trailing 12-month revenue.
  • Price to book: market cap divided by equity, or price divided by book value per share when available.
  • Gross margin: gross profit divided by revenue.
  • Operating margin: operating income divided by revenue.
  • Net profit margin: net income divided by revenue.
  • Free cash flow: operating cash flow minus capital expenditure.
  • Free cash flow yield: free cash flow divided by market capitalization.
  • Year-over-year revenue growth: current period compared with the matching period one year earlier.
  • Dividend yield: available dividends over the measurement period divided by price or the appropriate value based on available data.

When We Hide a Ratio

A ratio may be hidden when revenue, earnings, cash-flow data, or a valid denominator is missing; when the denominator is zero or negative in a way that makes the result unhelpful; or when the available data is too stale or incomplete. This is intentional and reduces misleading outputs.

AI and Analysis

Wrqti may use language models to summarize news, draft bull and bear points, or produce SWOT-style notes. These outputs are intended as a research starting point only and may contain mistakes or bias. They are not recommendations or final judgments on a stock.

Quality and Indexing Controls

We try to prevent weak stock pages from being indexed when they lack a clear name, classification, market data, or enough ratios/statements. The goal is for search engines and users to find pages with real value rather than empty or duplicate pages.

FAQ

Are Wrqti numbers investment advice?

No. Wrqti provides data, ratios, and educational analysis only. It does not provide buy, sell, or hold recommendations.

Why are some ratios empty?

When data is missing or the denominator is not suitable for calculation, Wrqti shows an empty value instead of guessing a potentially misleading number.

How does Wrqti calculate free cash flow?

When data is available, free cash flow is calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditure.

How can I report a data issue?

Send the ticker and issue description to [email protected]; we will review it against available data.
