How are OPS Ratings determined?
"OPS Ratings" were discovered from StockDiagnostics.com's in-depth research on Operational Cash Flow. These studies revealed that a company's OPS(TM) (Operational-cashflow Per Share) logically falls into a mathematical sequence that ranks it into one of eight distinctive risk categories. Ratings are scaled 1 through 8, with number one (1), being the highest rating and number eight (8), the lowest. A "Rating Suspended" status is given for all companies diagnosed with "The EPS Syndrome" during the most recent four quarters.
