Target Price Range
The projected average annual price range three to five years hence, based on Value Line earnings and P/E Ratio forecasts. The midpoint of the range is our estimate of the average annual price three to five years from now. The percentage appreciation potential and the estimated annual total return are computed from the projected low and high prices three to five years hence.
Technical Rank
Value Line’s proprietary ranking of estimated stock price performance relative to the overall market in the next three to six months, based on a complex analysis of the stock’s relative price performance during the previous 52 weeks. Unlike the Timeliness Rank, earnings are not a factor in the Technical Rank. Stocks ranked 1 (Highest) and 2 (Above Average) are likely to outpace the market during the next quarter or two. Those ranked 4 (Below Average) and 5 (Lowest) are expected to underperform most stocks. Stocks ranked 3 (Average) will probably advance or decline with the market. The Technical Rank is purely a function of relative price action and is primarily a predictor of relative short-term price movements. (It may thus be particularly useful in trading short-term instruments such as stock options.) Investors should try to limit purchases to stocks with Technical Ranks of 1 (Highest) and 2 (Average). |
Template
Value Line's Company Profiles are arranged in 13 templates, one for each sector under our coverage. For instance, since restaurants achieve sales, while insurance companies earn premiums, these types of companies are displayed with different templates. Users can create their own templates by moving and re-sizing the modules on the Company Profile pages.

Timeliness Rank
The rank of a stock’s probable relative market performance in the year ahead. It is derived via a computer program using as input the long-term price and earnings history, recent price and earnings momentum, and earnings surprise. All data are known and actual. Stocks ranked 1 (highest) and 2 (above average) are likely to outpace the year-ahead market. Those ranked 4 (below average) and 5 (lowest) are expected to underperform most stocks over the next 12 months. Stocks ranked 3 (average) will probably advance or decline with the market in the year ahead. Investors should try to limit purchases to stocks ranked 1 (highest) and 2 (above average) for timeliness. |
