Meridian by Daedalus

Scores now explain themselves. A Meridian Score is built in two stages, and every page that describes one now says both. Each metric is measured against the company’s own sector; the resulting factor is then ranked across the whole rated market. That second stage is what lets 7.5 mean the same thing in Real Estate as it does in Healthcare. The first is what allows a bank and a software company to be compared at all. Also in this release: • Funds are compared with funds. A fund’s peers are now funds of its own category and size — the SPDR S&P 500 ETF now shows Invesco QQQ, Vanguard S&P 500 and Vanguard Growth. • The screener lists each company once. 398 names could previously appear twice. • A link opens the page it points to once you have signed in, rather than the portfolio tab. • The subscription panel names the account actually being billed and links to where that subscription is cancelled. Where it cannot confirm which account holds it, it says so and offers both. • Checkout will not start a second subscription on an account that already holds one, and says which is billing. • Movers shows a score where the full factor set is present, and shows a name ungraded rather than estimated where it is not. Meridian is an information service. Its scores, grades, rankings and estimates are automated model output produced from third-party data. They are not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
