I received what appears to be conflicting information from Stock Central's offerings, but I’m sure there is a logical explanation that I am missing. I discovered this inconsistency while looking at Gilead Sciences (GILD) (which I'm following for my club. I posted my question here instead of under Stocks and GILD, because my question deals with Stock Central.
Take Stock shows a Quality Index of 1.6, and a COOLED Mood Indicator. The Sales Predictability is 9.7, but Earnings Predictability is 1.8. While Historical Earnings Growth is 17.7%, the Recent Growth is shown @ 2.6%.
I then ran an SSG using Stock Central’s default mode. The Sales and EPS Growth rates that the default used were 13.4%, and Future P/Es were 20.8 & 14.9, thus producing a BUY and an 8.8 to 1 Risk/Reward ratio. The PAR is 22.4% (Compounded @ 26.2%).
The information from the “Quality Index” and from “Stock Central’s default SSG” seem contradictory to me. Looking @ the QI, I would sell; with the SSG, I'd Buy.) With a Down 2A, and what I consider a horrible Quarterly Trend Analysis Chart and Graph (aka PERT A Chart & Graph), I understand Quality Index’s ratings better than Stock Central’s SSG. How do I reconcile these apparent inconsistencies? (Or, what am I missing?) Any insight is greatly appreciated.
