Visualizing Stock Fundamentals with Finmagine

The Wall of Numbers Problem — and the 4-Step Solution

If you have ever sat in front of Screener.in or Google Finance at 11 PM, staring at row after row of financial data, trying to mentally subtract column C from column F while remembering what was in column A, you know the feeling. Your eyes glaze over. Your brain does mental gymnastics just to spot a trend. After 10 minutes of scrolling, the cognitive load is so overwhelming that you miss the very signals you were looking for.

That is exactly where the Finmagine Financial Chart Builder enters the picture. It is a free Chrome extension that shatters that wall of numbers in milliseconds. But version 2.1.0 goes far beyond simple charting. It delivers a complete, four-step analytical workflow that takes you from raw data to a confident investment decision:

1. Charts Tab — The Crime Scene: What actually happened? What do the numbers say?
2. Quick Analysis Tab — The Background Check: Is this company reliable? Does it have a good history?
3. Calculated Ratios Tab — The Forensics Lab: How exactly did they achieve their results? What is the hidden mechanism?
4. Price Analysis Tab — The Verdict: Is the price of admission justified by the underlying value?

Before we dive into each tab, there is one thing to understand: Screener.in is a buffet — everything is laid out on one long page. Google Finance is a vending machine — you push a button to see one specific thing at a time. This architectural difference creates workflow quirks that we will master in this tutorial.

STEP 1

Charts Tab — The Core Visualization Engine

The Charts tab is the default view when you open Finmagine. It transforms dense financial tables into interactive, fiscal.ai-style visualizations. Whether you are on Screener.in looking at Tata Consultancy Services or Google Finance looking at Apple, the charting engine works identically.

The Dual-Axis System: Solving the Flat Line Problem

If you have ever plotted revenue (50,000 crores) and operating margin (15%) on the same chart in Excel, you know the margin line becomes an invisible flat line hugging the bottom. The 15% is microscopic compared to 50 billion. This is the flat line problem, and Finmagine solves it automatically.

The tool scans every metric you select and asks: is this a raw number, or is this a percentage? Based on that determination:

• Absolute values (Revenue, Net Profit, Reserves, Borrowings) are plotted as bars on the left Y-axis
• Percentages and ratios (OPM%, ROE%, D/E Ratio) are plotted as lines on the right Y-axis

Both metrics utilize the full vertical height of the chart. No fiddling with settings, no right-clicking to "Move to secondary axis." It just knows.

Metric Persistence: Your Preferences Follow You

Before v2.1.0, every time you navigated to a new company, your chart was blank. You had to click Sales, Net Profit, OPM% all over again. Metric persistence changes this completely.

Set up your preferred view on TCS. Navigate to Infosys. Open the panel — and your metrics are already selected and plotted. The chart is waiting for you.

Metric Aliasing

Companies are not always consistent with their terminology. One calls it "Sales," another calls it "Revenue," a third uses "Net Sales." Finmagine handles this with a built-in thesaurus:

These Terms Are Equivalent	Canonical Name
Sales, Revenue, Net Sales, Turnover	Revenue
Net Profit, PAT, Profit After Tax, Net Income	Net Profit
Operating Profit, EBIT, PBIT	Operating Profit
OPM %, Operating Margin %, Operating Margin	OPM %
EPS, Earnings Per Share, Diluted EPS	EPS

Section Context

Persistence is scoped to the section you are viewing. If you select metrics from the Annual P&L, those preferences are saved separately from your Quarterly P&L preferences. This prevents the dangerous error of accidentally comparing a full year of revenue to a single quarter.

Site-Specific Storage

Screener.in and Google Finance have separate preference storage. Your Screener.in selections will not affect Google Finance and vice versa.

Clear All vs. Reset Preferences

These two buttons look similar but do very different things:

Button	What It Does	When to Use
Clear All	Wipes the current chart clean but preserves your saved metric preferences in the background	99% of the time. Use to declutter your current view and start fresh for this company.
Reset Preferences	Clears the current chart and wipes all saved preferences from browser storage. Factory reset.	Rarely. Use when you want to completely change your analytical workflow or if the tool is behaving unexpectedly.

The Google Finance Workflow: Minimize-Restore

Google Finance is a Single Page Application (SPA). It only loads the data for the statement you are currently viewing. When you are looking at the Income Statement, the Balance Sheet data literally does not exist in your browser yet.

But what if you have already opened the panel and want to switch views? This is where the Minimize-Restore cycle becomes essential:

1. Minimize: Click the minimize button (underscore icon in the top-right of the panel). The panel shrinks to a thin bar at the bottom.
2. Switch View: Now interact with Google Finance freely. Click "Balance Sheet," toggle from Quarterly to Annual — set the stage.
3. Wait: Give Google 2-3 seconds to fetch the new data and render the table.
4. Restore: Click the minimized bar to expand the panel. The extension detects the table has changed and triggers an auto-refresh with the new data.

Why You Cannot Mix Statements on Google Finance

On Screener.in, you can create a chart that mixes Revenue from the P&L with Borrowings from the Balance Sheet because everything is on one page. On Google Finance, when you switch to the Balance Sheet tab, Google removes the Income Statement data from the browser. You can only chart metrics from one statement at a time.

Charting Recipes for Google Finance

The Profitability Trend (Income Statement, Quarterly)

Select Revenue, Operating Income, and Net Income. Look for compression — if Revenue bars climb nicely but Operating and Net Income bars stay flat or shrink, costs are eating the growth.

The Buyback Detection (Income Statement, Annual)

Select Net Income and EPS. In companies like Apple, Google, or Microsoft that do massive buybacks, you will see EPS climbing much faster than Net Income. That divergence is pure financial engineering — they are reducing the denominator (shares outstanding) rather than growing the numerator (actual profits).

Screener.in Charts: The Full Buffet

On Screener.in, you have access to 8 data sections with up to 10+ years of history:

Section	Data Type	Examples
Quarterly P&L	12+ quarters	Sales, Expenses, OPM%, Net Profit, EPS
Quarterly Balance Sheet	12+ quarters	Equity, Reserves, Borrowings, Assets
Quarterly Cash Flow	12+ quarters	CFO, Investing, Financing activities
Annual P&L	10+ years	Same as Quarterly with longer history
Annual Balance Sheet	10+ years	Net Worth, Working Capital, Fixed Assets
Annual Cash Flow	10+ years	Free Cash Flow, Net Cash Flow
Financial Ratios	10+ years	ROCE, ROE, Current Ratio, D/E
Shareholding Pattern	Multiple quarters	Promoter, FII, DII, Public holdings

You can freely cross-pollinate: mix Revenue from the P&L with Borrowings from the Balance Sheet and Cash from Operations from the Cash Flow statement — all on the same chart.

STEP 2

Quick Analysis Tab — The Financial Health Check

If the Charts tab shows you what happened, Quick Analysis tells you how healthy the patient is. It generates a composite Health Score from 0-100, identifies strengths and concerns, tracks growth rates, analyzes quarterly trends, and monitors shareholding movements — all in one view.

The Health Score: Your Verdict at a Glance

The large circular indicator shows the overall financial health score, color-coded for instant interpretation:

Score Range	Label	Color	Interpretation
80-100	Excellent	Green	Outstanding financial health
65-79	Good	Light Green	Solid financial position
50-64	Average	Yellow	Acceptable, monitor closely
35-49	Below Average	Orange	Significant concerns
0-34	Poor	Red	Major financial stress

The score is a weighted composite of four pillars:

• Growth (30%): Revenue and Profit CAGR over multiple timeframes
• Profitability (30%): ROE, ROCE, Operating Margin trends
• Stability (25%): Debt levels, cash flow consistency, earning reliability
• Shareholding (15%): Promoter holding trends, institutional flows

Sector-Aware Intelligence: Why Banks Are Not Factories

This is the critical insight that separates Finmagine from generic scoring tools. If you judge a bank by the same rules you judge a steel plant, the bank will fail every time. Why? Because a bank's product is debt. Their entire business model is taking in deposits (liabilities) and lending them out at higher rates. A bank with zero debt is a bank with no customers.

Finmagine scans the Peer Comparison breadcrumb on the Screener.in page and automatically detects the sector. When it identifies a Banking or NBFC company, it flips the entire scoring logic:

Metric	General/Manufacturing	Banking/NBFC
Debt-to-Equity	Penalizes high debt (> 1.0x)	Ignored — leverage is the business model
Negative Cash Flow (CFO)	Major red flag	Not flagged — lending = cash outflows = growth
FCF Analysis	Performed	Skipped — not applicable to banks
Focus Metrics	ROCE, OPM, D/E	NIM, GNPA, CASA, ROA

The tool supports 18 sectors with adjusted expectations: Banking, NBFC, Fintech, Auto, IT, Pharma, FMCG, Infrastructure, Metals, Energy, Chemicals, Telecom, Retail, Services, Media, Textiles, Agriculture, and Manufacturing.

Strengths and Concerns

Below the health score, the tool highlights specific strengths (green) and areas of concern (red):

• Strengths: Revenue CAGR above threshold, strong ROCE, consistent operating cash flow, debt-free status, increasing promoter holding
• Concerns: Declining OPM, negative OCF, high D/E ratio, promoter selling for 4+ quarters, high pledge percentage, FII selling

Growth (CAGR) Analysis

The growth section displays Compound Annual Growth Rates across four timeframes — 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y — for Revenue, Profit, and EPS. The pattern across timeframes reveals the growth trajectory:

Pattern	Example	Interpretation
Accelerating	1Y: 25%, 5Y: 15%	Growth is speeding up (bullish)
Decelerating	1Y: 5%, 5Y: 20%	Growth is slowing (watch closely)
Consistent	1Y: 18%, 5Y: 17%	Stable, predictable growth
Volatile	1Y: -5%, 5Y: 25%	Erratic, needs investigation

Trend Analysis Panel (Right Column)

The right side of the Quick Analysis tab shows a momentum summary with three sections:

Quarterly Trends (YoY) — Primary

Year-over-Year comparison removes seasonality. It compares Q3 FY26 vs Q3 FY25 vs Q3 FY24. This is the most reliable indicator for seasonal businesses like FMCG, Retail, and Auto.

Quarterly Momentum (QoQ) — Secondary

Sequential quarter comparison (Q3 vs Q2 vs Q1) shows recent momentum. Good for detecting turning points, but can be noisy due to seasonality.

Yearly Trends

Annual data comparison covering Sales, Net Profit, OPM%, EPS, Reserves, Net Cash Flow, Operating CF, and ROCE trend.

Shareholding Movement: Follow the Big Money

At the bottom of the right column, the tool tracks the behavior of three key institutional groups over recent quarters: Promoters (founders/owners), FIIs (foreign institutional investors), and DIIs (domestic institutions like mutual funds).

If you see promoters selling for 4+ consecutive quarters, that is a massive red flag — the captain is quietly getting off the ship. If FII and DII are both selling simultaneously, it signals an institutional exodus.

Customizing the Algorithm: Settings Modal

Click the Settings gear icon to access the configuration modal with three levels of customization:

Strictness Presets

Preset	Philosophy	Score Impact	Best For
Conservative	Only the safest, most bulletproof companies pass	Expect lower scores. Getting a 70 is practically a miracle.	Value investing, blue-chip hunting
Moderate (Default)	Balanced approach for general analysis	Neutral baseline assessment	Daily research, standard screening
Aggressive	Prioritizes growth potential over safety	Expect higher scores. Turnarounds look much better.	Growth investing, turnaround stories

How Thresholds Shift

Metric	Conservative	Moderate	Aggressive
Revenue/Profit CAGR Min	20%	15%	10%
ROE / ROCE Min	20%	15%	12%
OPM Min	15%	10%	8%
D/E Max (Non-Banking)	0.5x	1.0x	1.5x
GNPA Max (Banking)	2.0%	3.0%	4.0%
Promoter Pledge Max	5%	10%	20%

Manual Sector Override

For conglomerates like Reliance Industries (oil, retail, telecom), the auto-detection may only reflect one part of the business. Use the Sector Override dropdown to manually select from 18 sectors and force the Health Score to use that industry's grading logic.

Individual Threshold Sliders

After selecting a base preset, you can fine-tune individual sliders. For example, you might want strict debt rules (Conservative) but lenient growth rules (Aggressive). Click "Apply & Re-analyze" to save and refresh the score.

STEP 3

Calculated Ratios Tab — The Diagnostic Engine

If Quick Analysis tells you the patient has a fever of 104, Calculated Ratios is the blood test that tells you why. Is it a bacterial infection (poor margins)? A virus (excessive debt)? This tab computes 11+ financial ratios from raw data and, most importantly, features the powerful DuPont Analysis that decomposes Return on Equity into its three drivers.

Universal Coverage: The Key Advantage

Unlike Quick Analysis (which relies on pre-calculated data from Screener.in), the Calculated Ratios tab derives ratios from raw financial statements entirely client-side. This means it works for any company on Screener.in — even small microcaps that other tools do not cover. As long as a P&L and Balance Sheet exist, Finmagine can calculate the key ratios.

Solvency & Liquidity Ratios

These answer the fundamental question: Can this company survive?

Ratio	Formula	Excellent	Good	Average	Poor
Interest Coverage	Operating Profit / Interest Expense	≥ 5.0x	3.0-5.0x	2.0-3.0x	< 2.0x
Debt to Equity	Total Borrowings / Shareholders' Equity	≤ 1.0x	1.0-1.5x	1.5-2.5x	> 2.5x
Debt to Assets	Total Borrowings / Total Assets	≤ 20%	20-40%	40-60%	> 60%
Current Ratio	Current Assets / Current Liabilities	≥ 2.0x	1.5-2.0x	1.0-1.5x	< 1.0x
Quick Ratio (Acid Test)	(Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities	≥ 1.5x	1.0-1.5x	0.8-1.0x	< 0.8x

The Quick Ratio (Acid Test) is particularly powerful. It asks a brutally simple question: If your sales stopped tomorrow and you could not sell a single piece of inventory, could you still pay off all your immediate debts? If a company has a high Current Ratio but a low Quick Ratio, it may be hoarding unsold stock to make its balance sheet look healthier than it is.

Profitability Ratios

Ratio	Formula	Excellent	Good	Average	Poor
EBITDA	Operating Profit + Depreciation	Informational only (absolute value, no rating)
EBITDA Margin	EBITDA / Revenue × 100	≥ 40%	25-40%	15-25%	< 15%
Net Profit Margin	Net Profit / Revenue × 100	≥ 20%	10-20%	5-10%	< 5%

Efficiency Ratios

Ratio	Formula	Excellent	Good	Average	Poor
Asset Turnover	Revenue / Total Assets	≥ 3.0x	2.0-3.0x	1.0-2.0x	< 1.0x
Fixed Asset Turnover	Revenue / Fixed Assets	≥ 10.0x	5.0-10.0x	2.5-5.0x	< 2.5x
Equity Multiplier	Total Assets / Shareholders' Equity	≤ 1.5x	1.5-2.5x	2.5-4.0x	> 4.0x

DuPont Analysis: The Crown Jewel

DuPont Analysis is the single most powerful feature in the entire extension. It decomposes Return on Equity (ROE) into three components:

ROE = Net Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

This reveals how a company achieves its ROE — and whether that ROE is sustainable or fragile.

Three Company Profiles

Profile	NPM	Asset Turnover	Equity Multiplier	Verdict
Quality Compounder	High	Moderate	Low	Sustainable, low-risk ROE. Driven by pricing power and efficiency. This is the gold standard.
Efficient Operator	Moderate	High	Moderate	Good capital utilization. Think discount grocery chains — thin margins but incredible inventory turnover.
Leveraged Growth	Low	Low	High	ROE inflated by debt. A house of cards. One bad quarter or interest rate hike and it collapses.

Calculated vs. Actual ROE

The tool compares its DuPont-calculated ROE against Screener.in's reported ROE. A match (within ~2%) confirms data consistency. A larger difference may indicate timing or averaging differences.

DuPont for Banks: Read with Caution

The Calculated Ratios tab uses universal formulas — it does NOT adjust for sector. This means a bank will always show a high Equity Multiplier (rated "Poor" in red) because banks are inherently leveraged. This is expected and normal. Cross-reference the Quick Analysis tab (which does adjust for banking) to confirm the leverage is being managed safely via NIM and GNPA.

Quick Analysis vs. Calculated Ratios: When to Use Which

Aspect	Quick Analysis	Calculated Ratios
Role	The Dashboard — tells you if a company is healthy	The Diagnostics Tool — tells you why
Primary Output	Health Score (0-100)	11+ Financial Ratios
Sector Awareness	Yes — auto-detects and adjusts	No — universal formulas (user provides context)
Unique Feature	Shareholding Tracker	DuPont Analysis
Customization	3 strictness presets + individual sliders	Fixed formulas and standard thresholds
Use First?	Yes — get the "pass/fail" verdict first	Second — investigate the "why" behind the score

STEP 4

Price Analysis Tab — The Valuation Verdict

You have visualized the trends (Charts), assessed the health (Quick Analysis), and investigated the fundamentals (Calculated Ratios). Now comes the question that actually determines if you make money: Is the price you are paying justified?

Price vs. Fundamentals: The Core Question

This panel directly challenges the basic psychology of investing. A stock that is up 50% feels great. But the sober question is: did the business grow 50%? The tool compares the stock's price CAGR against its profit CAGR (primarily over 5 years, falling back to 3 years if unavailable).

The Price/Profit Growth Ratio

Price/Profit Growth Ratio = Stock Price CAGR ÷ Profit CAGR

Badge	Ratio	Meaning	Investor Action
CATCHING UP	< 0.7x	Profit growth significantly outpaces price growth. Stock may be undervalued.	Research for potential undervaluation. This is what value investors dream of.
FAIRLY VALUED	0.7x - 1.3x	Price and profit growth roughly aligned.	Neutral. Focus on future growth expectations.
RUNNING AHEAD	> 1.3x	Price growth far exceeds profit growth. Stock may be overvalued.	Caution. The gap between price and value is pure sentiment/hype.

CAGR Comparison Table

Below the Price vs. Fundamentals panel, a table shows Stock Price CAGR, Profit CAGR, and Sales CAGR across 10Y, 5Y, 3Y, and 1Y/TTM timeframes. Key patterns to watch:

• Price CAGR > Profit CAGR (all periods): Consistently expensive — multiple expansion
• Price CAGR < Profit CAGR (all periods): Consistently undervalued — multiple compression
• 1Y Price CAGR >> 5Y Price CAGR: Recent rally — verify if fundamentals support it
• 1Y Profit CAGR >> 1Y Price CAGR: Fundamentals accelerating — potential opportunity

Cyclical Analysis: Timing the Entry

Many businesses are seasonal or cyclical. AC companies, auto companies, infrastructure firms, FMCG — their quarterly profits follow predictable patterns tied to festivals, government budgets, and harvest cycles.

How It Works

1. Groups all historical quarterly profits by month: Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec
2. Calculates average profit for each quarter type across multiple years
3. Measures the variance between best and worst quarter averages
4. If variance exceeds 30% of the mean, the company gets the purple CYCLICAL badge

Quarter Performance Ranking

Quarters are ranked from #1 (strongest, dark green) to #4 (weakest, red/brown). This lets you know which quarters to expect strong results and which to expect weakness.

Why This Matters

If an AC company posts a small loss in December, the market might overreact and sell it off. But if the tool tells you December is historically their #4 quarter, you know this is normal. Instead of panic-selling, seasoned investors use the seasonal dip as a buying opportunity — knowing the strong #1 and #2 quarters are ahead.

Industry	Typically Strongest Quarter	Driver
Infrastructure	Q4 (March)	Government spending/billing before fiscal year-end
Retail / FMCG	Q3 (Oct-Dec)	Diwali, festive season, Christmas
Auto	Q2 (Sep) and Q4 (Mar)	Festive demand + year-end incentives
Agriculture	Seasonal	Harvest cycles and monsoon patterns

Risk Metrics: The 52-Week Analysis

The Risk Metrics panel visualizes where the current stock price sits within its 52-week range and quantifies the historical volatility.

52-Week Range Bar

A visual bar from 52W Low to 52W High with a marker showing current price position. The tool classifies the position into three zones:

Badge	Condition	Interpretation
Near 52W High	Within 10% of high	Potentially expensive. The tool warns: "Consider if the valuation is justified."
Near 52W Low	Within 20% of low	Could be a value opportunity or a falling knife. Must verify fundamentals.
Mid Range	Between the above	Neutral territory. Balanced risk/reward.

Max Drawdown (52W)

Measures the maximum peak-to-trough drop over the last year: (High - Low) / High × 100. This quantifies the "pain tolerance" required to hold the stock:

Drawdown	Risk Level	Strategy
< 20%	Low	Safe to buy on momentum. Corrections are shallow.
20-40%	Moderate	Normal volatility. Standard entry rules apply.
40-60%	High	Avoid buying at peaks. Wait for deep pullbacks.
> 60%	Very High	Extreme volatility. Requires strict stop-losses.

The Falling Knife Distinction

When a stock is "Near 52W Low," is it a bargain or a trap? The answer lies in combining the price position with profit momentum:

• Value Opportunity: Near 52W Low + CATCHING UP status + 1Y Profit CAGR is positive/accelerating. The price dropped but the business is healthy. The decline is likely sentiment-driven.
• Falling Knife: Near 52W Low + 1Y Profit CAGR is negative or drastically lower than 5Y average. The price is falling because the business is deteriorating. Do not catch it.

EXAMPLES

The 4-Step Workflow in Action: Real Company Analysis

Let us walk through the complete workflow with a real company to see how all four tabs work together to build a complete investment thesis.

Example: Affle (India) Ltd — Quality Compounder

Step 1: Charts Tab — Visualize the Trends

The chart instantly reveals a powerful growth story: Sales (blue bars) climbing from 167 crores in Mar 2018 to 2,266 crores in Mar 2025 — a 13x increase. The OPM% line (green) has stabilized around 21-23% after initially being higher, showing mature but healthy margins. Profit before tax (red bars) shows consistent upward trajectory.

Step 2: Quick Analysis Tab — The Health Check

Health Score: 91 (Excellent). Three strengths flagged, zero concerns. Revenue CAGR of 28% (5Y), Profit CAGR of 26.5% (5Y), and consistent positive operating cash flow for 8 years. The trend analysis shows increasing sales and profits YoY. This is a textbook quality company.

Step 3: Calculated Ratios Tab — The Diagnostics

The solvency picture is pristine: virtually debt-free (D/E of 0.01x), Interest Coverage of 83x, Current Ratio of 3.86x. Now look at the DuPont Analysis: NPM 16.9% (Good) × Asset Turnover 0.66x (Poor) × Equity Multiplier 1.20x (Excellent) = 13.5% ROE. This is a Quality Compounder profile — the ROE comes from profit margins with almost zero reliance on debt. The low asset turnover is typical for IP/tech businesses.

Step 4: Price Analysis Tab — The Valuation

CATCHING UP with a Price/Profit ratio of just 0.24x. Profit growth (42%) massively outpaces price growth (10%). The stock is in the Mid Range of its 52-week range. Despite a high Max Drawdown (44.2%), the fundamentals are accelerating. This is a classic value setup where the market has not fully appreciated the company's profit growth.

WORKFLOW

The Complete Analyst Workflow

The four tabs are designed to work as a complete end-to-end workflow. Here is the recommended analytical sequence:

1. Quick Analysis first: Get the instant health score. If the score is below 40, you may want to skip to the next company unless you are specifically hunting turnarounds.
2. Calculated Ratios second: Understand why the score is what it is. Check the DuPont Analysis to verify ROE quality. If you see a "Leveraged Growth" profile, proceed with extreme caution.
3. Price Analysis third: Is the stock catching up or running ahead? Check cyclical patterns for timing. Assess risk metrics for entry positioning.
4. Charts last: Now that you know what to look for, build targeted visualizations. Chart the specific metrics that matter for your thesis — margins, cash flow, shareholding trends.

HELP

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Common Issues & Solutions

"No Financial Data Found"

• Screener.in: Ensure you are on a company page (URL contains /company/), not the homepage
• Google Finance: Click the "Financials" tab first and wait 2-3 seconds for data to load before clicking the Finmagine button

Button Not Appearing

• Check chrome://extensions/ and verify the extension is enabled
• Refresh the page (F5)
• On Google Finance, you must click the "Financials" tab first

Quick Analysis Tab Not Appearing

• Quick Analysis is Screener.in exclusive. It does not appear on Google Finance.
• Ensure you are on a company detail page

"Insufficient Data" in Quick Analysis

• The health score requires 10+ years of P&L data. Recent IPOs may not have enough history.
• Try the consolidated page instead of standalone

Sector Shows Wrong Industry

• The extension reads sector from the Peer Comparison breadcrumb
• Use Settings > Sector Override to manually select the correct sector

"Clear All" Does Not Prevent Metrics from Coming Back

• "Clear All" only clears the current chart, not saved preferences
• Use "Reset Preferences" to clear the saved metric memory

Metrics Not Restoring on New Company

• Metrics are section-scoped: Annual P&L preferences do not restore to Quarterly P&L
• Unusual metric names may not alias correctly — re-select manually

Google Finance: Chart Shows Stale Data

• You switched tabs while the panel was fully expanded. The extension cannot detect changes underneath it.
• Solution: Use the Minimize-Restore cycle (Minimize → Switch → Wait → Restore)

DuPont ROE Does Not Match Screener.in ROE

• Minor differences (within 2%) are normal due to timing and averaging
• DuPont uses latest annual values; Screener.in may use TTM or averaged data

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the extension really free?

Yes, 100% free. No trial, no premium tier, no hidden costs, no account required.

Does it collect my data?

No. Everything happens client-side in your browser. The extension never sends data to any server. It does not know which companies you research.

Why are Quick Analysis, Calculated Ratios, and Price Analysis only on Screener.in?

These features require deep historical data (10+ years P&L, balance sheet, shareholding, growth rates). Screener.in provides this depth for thousands of Indian companies. Google Finance typically provides only 4-5 years, which is insufficient for reliable health scoring, ratio calculation, and CAGR comparison.

Can I compare multiple companies on one chart?

Not simultaneously. The tool analyzes one company at a time. For comparisons, screenshot each company's charts and place them side-by-side, or open multiple browser tabs.

What browsers are supported?

Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers: Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, etc. Mobile browsers are not supported (Chrome extensions are desktop-only).

From Data Overload to Confident Decisions

You now have the complete Finmagine 4-step workflow in your analytical toolkit:

• Charts Tab: Visualize trends with dual-axis intelligence, metric persistence, and the Minimize-Restore workflow for Google Finance
• Quick Analysis Tab: Get sector-aware health scores with customizable Conservative/Moderate/Aggressive presets
• Calculated Ratios Tab: X-ray the quality of earnings with DuPont Analysis and 11+ derived ratios
• Price Analysis Tab: Ground yourself in reality with Price/Profit Growth Ratios, cyclical timing, and risk metrics

Financial analysis just got dramatically faster and more intuitive. What used to require Excel exports, manual calculations, and 20+ minutes per company now takes seconds. The data is abundant and free — the edge is entirely about the story you can read in that data. Finmagine automates the looking so you can spend all your time on the thinking.

Next Steps:

1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store
2. Run through all four tabs on a company you are currently researching
3. Experiment with the Settings modal — try Conservative vs. Aggressive on the same company
4. Practice the Minimize-Restore cycle on Google Finance
5. Build analytical templates: consistent metrics you check for every company in a sector
