What Is TrustScore?
TrustScore is a rating from 0 to 100. It looks at five different areas of a company and rolls them into one number. A higher score means the stock looks stronger. A lower score means there are more warning signs.
Think of it like a report card. A student gets grades in Math, English, Science, and more. TrustScore does the same thing for stocks — it checks things like financial health, price, growth, and more. Then it gives you one overall grade.
What the Numbers Mean
The score falls into five groups that help you decide what to do:
- •80-100 (Strong Buy): The stock looks great in most areas. This is a strong signal, but no score can predict the future for sure.
- •65-79 (Buy): Good overall. One or two areas might be weaker, but the big picture is positive.
- •50-64 (Hold): Mixed signals. Some things look good, others don't. Worth watching, but not a clear "go."
- •35-49 (Sell): More problems than strengths. Be careful, especially if you already own this stock.
- •0-34 (Strong Sell): Big concerns in many areas. This doesn't mean the stock will crash, but the risk is higher.
What TrustScore Can't Do
TrustScore looks at data from today and the past. It can't predict breaking news, surprise announcements, or sudden market crashes. It also can't read your mind — it doesn't know your personal goals or how much risk you're OK with.
Always think of TrustScore as a starting point. It helps you narrow down which stocks to look at, but you should still do your own thinking before making any decisions.
The Confidence Indicator
Next to every TrustScore, you'll see a confidence level. This tells you how clear the data signals are. High confidence means all five areas mostly agree. Low confidence means the areas are giving mixed messages.
A stock with a score of 75 and high confidence is more trustworthy than one with a score of 75 and low confidence. Always check both numbers together.
