What IQInvest is, and how it grades.

Every stock, graded A–F. Every grade, argued. IQInvest analyses any US (NYSE/NASDAQ) or Indian (NSE/BSE) listing across seven scored categories, combines them with published weights into one letter grade, and writes the reasoning out in plain English — tuned to the risk tolerance and time horizon you choose. Around the grade sits a working toolkit: side-by-side comparison across both markets, a DCF calculator whose assumptions are yours, a screener, portfolio and watchlist tracking, price targets, and a learning layer that explains every metric on the live company in front of you. All of it free.

The methodology

Seven categories are each scored 0–100: financial health, growth & momentum, valuation, technical, risk, analyst view, and ESG. They combine into the grade through fixed weights. ESG is always scored but carries no weight unless you switch it on — when you do, its share comes proportionally out of the other six.

The exact weights are not restated here, deliberately: they are published on the Learn page, where the table is generated from the engine's own constants at request time — so what you read there is what runs, and this page cannot drift out of date. On any research note you can also re-weight the categories yourself and watch the grade recompute; the re-weighted grade gets its own shareable URL.

Grades are quality assessments, not buy or sell recommendations. The model is periodically revised; historical grades are not restated.

Data sources

Quotes and fundamentals come primarily from Yahoo Finance and may be delayed 15 minutes or more. For US companies, headline figures are cross-checked against SEC EDGAR XBRL filings — the filed number beats a scrape of a page about the filing. No data source is paid or requires a key. Always verify figures against official filings before acting.
