Equity ratio
The equity ratio is a financial metric that measures the amount of leverage used by a company and describes the company's long-term payment capacity.

It uses investments in assets and the amount of equity to determine how well a company manages its debts and funds its asset requirements. An equity ratio of 100% menas that the company is financed only with own capital and an equity ratio of 0% means they don't have any own capital at all.

Current ratio
The current ratio (or working capital ratio) demonstrates the company's ability to meet short-term payment obligations. This ratio compares a company’s current assets to its current liabilities, testing whether it sustainably balances assets, financing, and liabilities. The current ratio describes the relationship between a company’s assets and liabilities. A rule of thumb is that the current ratio should be above 100%. So, a higher ratio means the company has more assets than liabilities.

Total equity
Equity is often defined as the difference between assets and liabilities in a company. Equity can be seen as the company’s own funds. The equity is the sum of the money that the owners have invested in the company (share capital and any subsequent capital contributions), plus the company’s accumulated profits and losses, minus the owners’ withdrawals from the company (e.g. dividends). The filter supports searching in intervals.

Total assets
Assets are resources that are expected to provide economic benefits in the future and are the total of a company’s wealth. Assets are divided into fixed assets and current assets. The filter supports search by intervals.

Current assets
Current assets are used to pay ongoing expenses and finance daily operations. In personal finance, current assets refer to money in the bank that is not locked in long-term investments. The filter supports searching by interval.

Operating result (EBIT)
EBIT (Earnings before interest and taxes) is the most commonly used measure when calculating operating income. It means excluding interest and taxes from operating expenses, and obtaining a result after depreciation and write-downs. The filter supports searching in intervals.


Operating profit margin
Profit margin is a key metric showing how much profit per dollar of revenue is earned. It can also be defined as the size of the profit before interest-bearing costs, meaning that the profit margin is calculated before tax. A good rule of thumb to remember is that the profit margin should exceed 5% to be considered good.

Result after financials
Result after financial net is a financial measure used to assess a company’s profitability after taking into account all financial costs and income. It includes interest expenses, interest income, realized gains and losses on financial investments, and other financial items. The filter supports searching within a range.

Yearly result
Annual result is a term in business economics and essentially means the same thing as the company’s profit or loss. The term annual result is synonymous with the company’s profit or loss during a given financial year. If the company has had higher revenues than expenses during a financial year, the company has achieved a positive result, which means that the company has made a profit. If, on the other hand, the company has had higher expenses than revenues, it has achieved a negative result.
