Methodology Hub
How TickerLeague computes the numbers behind each tool. Formulas, data sources and known limits, in one place.
Financial rankings
Corporate actions
Stock splits
How we derive pre-split price, post-split price and the cumulative multiple in each company stock-split history table, plus data sources and limits.
Split likelihood
How we build the rule-based split-likelihood score: the four mechanical factors and weights, the calibrated price curve, band cutoffs, the timing multiplier, and an honest precision / recall / lift report.
Dividends
Valuation tools
Forecasting & scoring
Smart Consensus weighting
How we compute the accuracy-weighted community consensus: per-user difficulty-adjusted weights, the minimum-history gate, the single-contributor cap, and the privacy threshold.
Beat-the-Street scoring
The exact XP formula: closeness base scaled by a difficulty factor, plus a signed beat-the-Street bonus scaled by consensus confidence, plus an optional calibration bonus — with the floor and cap.
Multi-method fair value
How we combine discounted cash flow, exit multiple, analyst target and the Graham number into a fair-value range and margin of safety — inputs, defaults, and when a method is skipped.
Historical returns
Investment calculator
How we compute hypothetical buy-and-hold returns in the what-if-invested calculator: the units × close formula, CAGR annualization, which price series each asset class reads, and how max profit, max drawdown and return since inception are derived.
Historical returns heatmap
How we compute monthly, quarterly and yearly returns in the seasonality heatmap: the close-to-close formula, return type by instrument (stocks, indices, crypto, FX, commodities), what we exclude and why.
