Methodology

SG Stock Lens is a rules-based research tool for comparing Singapore-listed companies across valuation, quality, balance-sheet strength, growth stability, and capital allocation.

How companies are scored

The main screener calculates financial metrics from available public market data, groups them into five score buckets, and combines those buckets into a 0-100 total score. The default weights are valuation 30%, business quality 30%, financial strength 20%, growth stability 10%, and capital allocation 10%.

How verdicts are assigned

Verdicts are rule-based labels, not buy or sell recommendations. A company can score well yet still be marked for caution if the data shows weak cash conversion, leverage concerns, declining revenue, or other red flags.

Intrinsic value estimates

The screener uses simple valuation models such as earnings power, free-cash-flow yield, and discounted cash flow. These are rough ranges intended to support further research. They are sensitive to assumptions and may be unreliable when source data is incomplete.

Special cases

Banks, REITs, insurers, funds, and trusts often require different metrics from ordinary operating companies. Where generic metrics may be misleading, the screener flags those companies for specialized analysis.

Data sources and limitations

Reports are generated from available public and third-party market data, cached financial statements, and manually maintained research overlays where explicitly labelled. Source data can be delayed, restated, incomplete, or mapped incorrectly across tickers. SG Stock Lens does not redistribute raw exchange data as a market-data product.

Before making decisions, verify important figures against annual reports, SGX announcements, company filings, and the original source named in any broker-context note.

Always verify important figures against company filings, annual reports, and exchange announcements before relying on them.
