Company overview
We've made changes to the company quote page to improve usability. You'll see we have amended this content to help answer some common questions about a company: who are they, what do they do, how they have performed, who their competitors are and what their current news is.
These questions are designed to provide you with an initial overview of a company.
Company summary
Here you can access a quick and easy snapshot of information about a company, their sector composition, peers and industry segments.
Performance overview
The performance of the company is now separated into recent price trends, dividend outlook and earnings performance. The relative price volatility is also compared to other similar stocks in its sector.
Performance and volume
This section shows the price performance and volume of shares traded over the period reviewed. The text provides a technical overview of what has occurred.
Dividend outlook
Buying stocks for their dividends is a strategy that can be appealing to investors looking to generate income or to build wealth by reinvesting dividends. The projected dividend provides a snapshot of what the predicted dividend forecasts are likely to be over the next two quarters.
Earnings
Knowing how much a company is earning can help you gain insight into how well a company is run and whether it is performing well. Here you can see earnings information over the last four years.
Price volatility
This section looks at the Beta of the company. The Beta is a measure of the volatility of the returns compared to the entire market. A company with a higher beta has greater risk and also greater expected returns.
Similar investments
Here we provide alternate investments you may like to consider. Highlighted companies are shown by their market cap, growth in revenue and Earnings Per Share (EPS).
News and announcements
Keeping up to date with the latest news and announcements will help give you a better chance of acting quickly to take advantage of opportunities or avoiding losses. The recent headlines for a stock are provided here, with more available by clicking on the news and announcements tab.

If you preferred the old layout, don’t worry you can use the toggle at the top right-hand corner of the page to revert to the previous layout.
Research overview
We have partnered with a number of leading global research providers to help you learn more about your current holdings or potential investments. Each provider utilises different methodologies, allowing you to view potential investments through multiple lenses. When used independently or combined, these lenses can help you make more informed investment decisions.
The new research tab layout now groups together the four main types of research available for stocks:
1. Consensus – Rates a stock by relying on the wisdom of the crowd.
2. Technical – Leverages market data to identify trends and make predictions about the future price movements of a stock.
3. Quantitative – Considers factors which are measurable in numerical terms (e.g. P/E ratio).
4. Qualitative – Considers factors which are based on the character or quality of the variables (e.g. Management).
