Data is sourced from Morningstar and is available for 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y periods.
Beta
Beta is a measurement of the sensitivity of a company stock price to the overall fluctuation of a given benchmark index. Betas are levered, unadjusted and derived from a least squares regression analysis using stock and benchmark index returns based on a monthly or weekly frequency. Beta in the watchlist and screener is calculated using 60 monthly returns (each as of month end) but if the company trading history is too short to provide such a sample, fewer than 60 but not fewer than 24 monthly returns are used to run the regression.
The benchmarks are the S&P 500 for all U.S. stocks, the S&P/TSX Composite for all Canadian stocks, the MSCI EAFE for all developed market stocks in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East, and the MSCI Emerging Markets for all other international stocks.
If you want to graph Beta for a particular stock, you can use the G chart on Koyfin. The default window in the chart is 1 year (252 days), and you can specify this value in the Beta settings.

Beta (All Funds)
Beta measures a fund's sensitivity to movements in its assigned benchmark. A Beta above 1.0 indicates the fund tends to amplify benchmark movements; a Beta below 1.0 indicates dampened sensitivity. Beta is measured as the slope of the regression of the fund's excess returns against the benchmark's excess returns.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- β = Cov(Rf, Rb) / Var(Rb)
where
- β = Beta
- Cov(Rf, Rb) = Covariance of the fund's excess returns and the benchmark's excess returns
- Var(Rb) = Variance of the benchmark's excess returns
Data is sourced from Morningstar and is available for 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y periods.

Return on Common Equity % = Net Income to Common Excluding Extra Items / ((Total Common Equity (t) + Total Common Equity (t-1)) / 2)
The example below shows the calculation for Apple Inc. as of September 30, 2023.



Return on Equity %
To calculate Return on Equity %, we use the following formula:
Return on Equity % = Earnings From Continuing Operations / ((Total Equity (t) + Total Equity (t-1)) / 2)
The example below is for Apple Inc. as of April 1, 2023.



Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) %
ROIC is calculated using the following formula:
ROIC = NOPAT / Average Invested Capital
Where;
NOPAT = EBIT less income tax expense.
Invested Capital = (Long-term debt + short-term debt + shareholder equity + current leases + long-term leases)
Average Invested Capital = (Invested Capital Y0 + Invested Capital Y-1) / 2
RSI
RSI is calculated using the following formula:
RSI = 100 – (100 / [1 + {14-Day Average Gain / 14-Day Average Loss}])
You can use our My Screens functionality to screen for stocks based on their RSI values. To do this, create a new screen and add RSI as a criterion.

R-Squared (All Funds)
R-Squared represents the percentage of a fund's return movements that can be explained by movements in its benchmark. A value of 100 indicates perfect correlation with the benchmark; a value of 0 indicates no correlation. R-Squared ranges from 0 to 100.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- R² = Cov(Rf, Rb)² / (Var(Rf) × Var(Rb))
where
- R² = R-Squared
- Cov(Rf, Rb) = Covariance of the fund's returns and the benchmark's returns
- Var(Rf) = Variance of the fund's returns
- Var(Rb) = Variance of the benchmark's returns

Shareholder Yield %
Shareholder Yield % is based on three important components compared to the Market Capitalization:
- Dividend Yield % — the amount of dividends paid to shareholders
- Buyback Yield % — the amount spent repurchasing shares. This may indicate that management believes a stock is undervalued
- Debt Paydown Yield % — the net change in long term debt over the trailing twelve months. Some investors consider that debt paydown is a way to enhance shareholder value by increasing the equity holder’s claim on the assets
You can find the Shareholder Yield % of a company in the Dividend Snapshot.

Sharpe Ratio (All Funds)
The Sharpe Ratio measures a fund's risk-adjusted return by calculating how much excess return it earns per unit of total risk. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates better historical risk-adjusted performance.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- Sharpe Ratio = (Ri − RFi) / StDev
where
- Ri = Return of the fund in period i
- RFi = Return of the risk-free investment in period i
- StDev = Standard deviation of the fund's annualised excess returns
Data is sourced from Morningstar and is available for 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y periods.
Short Interest (% and Notional)
Our Short Interest data is updated every 2 weeks with a 3-day delay. The data comes from the exchange. Short Interest data covers all stocks traded on US exchanges.
You can view a historical time series of Short Interest Notional and Short Interest % of Market Cap in the G chart.

Short Term Investments
Short Term Investments are a line item with the following components:
• Deposits at interest in securities
• Securities borrowed
• Cash and securities segregated
• Securities owned
• Securities purchased under agreements to resell
On Koyfin, this data item can be found under the Balance Sheet section of the Financial Analysis.

Skewness (All Funds)
Skewness measures the asymmetry of a fund's return distribution. A negative Skewness indicates a longer left tail, meaning a higher likelihood of extreme negative returns. A positive Skewness indicates a longer right tail. A perfectly symmetrical distribution has a Skewness of 0.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- S = [n / ((n−1)(n−2))] × Σ((Ri − R̄) / σ)³
where
- S = Skewness
- Ri = Return of the fund in period i
- R̄ = Mean return
- σ = Standard deviation
- n = Number of observations
Data is sourced from Morningstar and is available for 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y periods.
Sortino Ratio (All Funds)
The Sortino Ratio is a useful way for investors, analysts, and portfolio managers to evaluate an investment's return for a given level of bad risk. Since this ratio uses the downside deviation as its risk measure, it addresses the problem of using total risk, or standard deviation, as upside volatility is beneficial to investors. Like the Sharpe Ratio, a higher Sortino Ratio is better. When looking at two similar investments, the one with the higher Sortino Ratio is earning more return per unit of bad risk.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- S = (⟨R⟩ − Rf) / σd
where
- S = Sortino Ratio
- ⟨R⟩ = Expected return
- Rf = Risk-free rate of return
- σd = Downside deviation
Data is sourced from Morningstar and is available for 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y periods.
Standard Deviation (All Funds)
Standard Deviation measures the dispersion of a fund's monthly returns around its average return, annualised. A higher Standard Deviation indicates greater return variability and therefore higher volatility. Morningstar computes Standard Deviation using trailing monthly total returns for the relevant period, then annualises the result.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- σ = √(Σ(Ri − R̄)² / (n − 1))
where
- σ = Standard deviation
- Ri = Return of the fund in month i
- R̄ = Average monthly return of the fund
- n = Number of months in the period
Data is sourced from Morningstar and is available for 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y periods.

• Short-term Borrowings
• Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
• Current Portion of Leases
• Long-Term Debt
• Long Term Leases
• Finance Div. Debt Current
• Finance Div. Debt Non-Curr.
The example below is for Apple Inc. as of September 25, 2021.

Long-Term Debt and Current Portfolio of Long-Term Debt refer to the term debt the company presents on the balance sheet. Typically, the current portion (found in current liabilities) is term debt due within 12 months, while Long-Term Debt (found in non-current liabilities) is due > 12 months.
Total Debt to Capital %
The Total Debt to Capital % metric measures how much of a company’s capital structure is funded by debt.
It is calculated as follows: Total Debt / (Total Preferred Equity + Total Common Equity + Total Debt + Minority Interest
If the denominator is less than or equal to zero then the ratio will be shown as '-'.
Total Debt / Equity %
Total Debt to Equity (%) is a ratio which expresses the relationship between total debt and total equity and is calculated as follows:
Total Debt / Total Equity.
If the denominator is less than or equal to zero then the ratio will be shown as '-'.
Total Equity
Total Equity represents owners’ residual interest in the company excluding liabilities. The metric is the sum of:
• Total Preferred Equity
• Total Common Equity
• Total Minority Interest
Total Return and Price Change %
Total Return is a metric that captures the full impact of dividends on the value of a stock or ETF, beyond just the changes in its market price. It is derived using the "adjusted price," a figure that adds dividends back to the stock's price at each distribution point, under the assumption these dividends are reinvested. This calculation combines the stock's Price Change and dividend payments to give a complete picture of its performance.
In Koyfin, Total Return can be analyzed using various features such as watchlists, graphs, and screeners.
The Historical Price Graph (G) displays both the Price Change and Total Return percentages as separate data series, allowing for a side-by-side comparison.
The Normalized Performance Graph (GM) shows the percentage change that represents the Total Return, calculated from the stock's or ETF's adjusted price history.
However, it's important to note that Koyfin does not compute Total Return for equity indices like the SPX, where the Normalized Performance Graph only displays Price Changes, excluding dividends. For an analysis inclusive of Total Return on an index similar to the SPX, the SPY ETF is a recommended alternative.

Tracking Error (All Funds)
Tracking Error measures the consistency of a fund's returns relative to its benchmark. A higher Tracking Error indicates the fund's performance diverges more frequently from its benchmark.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- TE = StDev(Rf − Rb)
where
- TE = Tracking Error
- Rf = Return of the fund in each period
- Rb = Return of the benchmark in each period
- StDev = Standard deviation of the return differences
Data is sourced from Morningstar and is available for 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y periods.
Treynor Ratio (All Funds)
The Treynor Ratio is a measurement of efficiency utilising the relationship between annualised risk-adjusted return and risk. Unlike the Sharpe Ratio, the Treynor Ratio uses market risk (Beta) instead of total risk (Standard Deviation). A higher Treynor Ratio indicates better return per unit of market risk.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- T = (R − Rf) / β
where
- T = Treynor Ratio
- R = Return of the fund
- Rf = Risk-free rate of return

Volatility is a measure of the statistical dispersion of the log returns for a given security or market index.
It is calculated as the standard deviation of the log price changes. You can take a look at this example sheet for more information.
You can add a column for Volatility in My Watchlists. The Volatility column will display the realized volatility over a specified period.

Volatility Score (All Funds)
Volatility Score is a proprietary Morningstar measure of a fund's estimated return volatility, expressed as a score on a fixed scale. Higher scores indicate greater expected volatility.
The score bands are as follows:
- 0–23 Conservative,
- 24–47 Moderate,
- 48–78 Aggressive,
- 79–99 Very Aggressive,
- 100+ Extreme.
Data is sourced from Morningstar and is returned as a single current value with no period variants.
Upside Capture Ratio (All Funds)
The Upside Capture Ratio measures how much of a benchmark's positive return a fund captured during up-market months. A ratio above 100 indicates the fund outperformed the benchmark in up markets.
This item is calculated using the following formula:
- UCR = Ru / Rb
where
- UCR = Upside Capture Ratio
- Ru = Fund return during months when the benchmark return was positive
- Rb = Benchmark return during those same months
Data is sourced from Morningstar and is available for 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y periods.
Volume
Volume, Average
The Average Volume is the average number of Shares that are traded on a daily basis over the last 10 days of trading.
Volume, Notional Value
It is the $ amount (or other currency) which we calculate by multiplying Shares * Price.
Volume, Shares
The Volume is the number of Shares.
You can add the columns for Volume, Average, Volume, Notional Value, and Volume, Shares to your watchlist on Koyfin.

Relative Volume
Relative volume is calculated based on the specific time of day. For example, the relative volume at 11:00 AM ET is compared to the average volume recorded at 11:00 AM over the past 10 days. You can track Relative Volume in Market Movers, watchlists and screener.
Here are some examples:
Let’s say the 10-day average = 100
Today’s volume is 70. The Relative volume is 0.7 (70/100). This means it’s 30% below average.
Today’s volume is 1. The Relative volume is 0.01 (1/100). This means today’s volume is 99% below average.
Today’s volume is 200. The Relative volume is 2 (200/100). This means today’s volume is 100% above average.
Today’s volume is 0. The Relative volume is 0. You can’t calculate a % for 0.
Working Capital
Working Capital is a financial metric that represents the difference between a company's current assets and its current liabilities.
• Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
It serves as an indicator of a company's short-term liquidity, reflecting its ability to cover short-term obligations using readily available resources.
Z-Score
The Z-Score is calculated by dividing the 1D % Change by the Trailing 1-year Volatility. A Z-Score of 1 means the % Change today is equal to 1 Standard deviation relative to the past 1 year of daily Price change.
If you're interested in monitoring the Z-Score for various securities, you can add it as a column to your watchlist.
