What gets in the way today.
Screeners show ratios, not the company.

Risks show up after the drop.
Loss years, the worst revenue fall and dependencies, up front.
Peers are hard to line up.
Companies ranked by sector, with a points-based DESK score.

What DESK doesn’t do
Share prices, valuation ratios and market value come with DESK Pro, once live market data is licensed. Until then, DESK shows what the company reported.
