How this comparison works
Uses the saved companies from the same industry and listing market, including CAT, ordered by cached market cap. Company snapshots can have different dates; the web cache may cover fewer metrics and periods than the app.
Periods end at each company’s dated price snapshot. Change compares the latest saved observation with one at or before the selected period’s start. A daily price change uses consecutive saved sessions. Financial data updates quarterly, so short periods may show no change. Missing history and zero starting values are excluded; a negative starting value uses its absolute value as the denominator.
Metrics use saved ratios and percentages. Market caps use the listing market’s reporting currency; underlying financial statements may use different currencies. Circle sizes have a minimum for touch visibility, and an outlined circle indicates a missing market cap. These comparisons describe data, not recommendations or price predictions.
