Related Help TopicsHow do I compare stocks?
You can compare stocks by entering up to five symbols in the text boxes on the Compare Stocks page and clicking Compare. You can also initiate a comparison by selecting up to five stocks in search results, the Recently Viewed Stocks List, the Own list, or a watch list and clicking Compare.
How do I compare a stock against its competitors?
To compare a stock against up to four competitors automatically, enter the stock's symbol and click Show Competitors. Because a stock's competitors are determined by a third party using the process described below, competitors may not be displayed for some stocks.
How are competitors determined?
Competitor information is provided to Fidelity by Reuters. Competitors are collected for companies publicly traded on a U.S. exchange (NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, OTC), and includes ADRs. When compiling a new or existing competitor list, Reuters takes the following steps to provide the most accurate and representative competitor list:
- Competitor section of Recent Company Filings
Reuters analysts search the most recent company filing (10-K, 10-Q or equivalent) and search for the section entitled “Competition.” In many cases companies provide a specific list of competitors that compete against the company. Information from this source forms the core of the Competitors Service from Reuters, however additional research is conducted to build on this foundation. - Reuters Business Intelligence Long Description
Reuters examines the long description provided by the Reuters Business Intelligence group. This extended description provides detailed information on a company's operating divisions and often also provides competitor information. - Research Brokerage Reports
Reuters will review brokerage reports that list company’s competitors in an industry review or provide peer comparisons on individual company research. - Additional Sources
If adequate information in any of the above documents cannot be found, the Reuters conducts further research using multiple news and other sources. For example a keyword search on the Company's main operations across industry publications and websites. Finally Reuters reviews companies that are classified in similar industries according to the Reuters Business Sector Schema and NAICS classification systems.
Competitors are ranked from highest to lowest competition. When you click Show Competitors, Fidelity displays the four highest ranked competitors for the first company chosen. In the 10-K or equivalent, the company will often list their competitors in ranking order, so Reuters will list them identically. However, if the 10-K lists competitors in alphabetical or random order, Reuters Competitors will rank by:
- Closest competing business (product, service, location, etc.)
- Highest Market Cap
Competitors are updated annually, when the company issues its 10-K or equivalent, or periodically, when a corporate action has been completed (e.g., merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, expansion) that alters a company's competitor landscape.
How many stocks can I compare at one time?
You can compare up to five stocks at once.
What are the preset views available?
Choose how you view information on the stocks by changing the views to focus on Key Statistics, Dividends, Valuation, Performance & Volatility, Growth, Profitability, Cash & Debt, Analyst Opinions, Ownership & Trading Characteristics, and intraday Price and Volume.
How do I create my own custom view?
You can create a custom view by using “Edit View” to select data from over 140+ criterion you would like to see. Save this view for future use in comparing other stocks.
