Spotlight

Spotlight is an analytical module within the platform that provides users with comprehensive, detailed information about a selected financial instrument. It helps investors make better-informed investment decisions by offering reliable, up-to-date market data and analysis.

At present, Spotlight covers publicly listed stocks, but future updates will expand its coverage to include other financial instruments such as ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, and cryptocurrencies.

Spotlight for Stocks

Spotlight for Stocks is a dedicated section of the platform that provides in-depth, data-driven insights into individual publicly listed companies.
It is designed for investors who want to analyse stocks efficiently, combining key metrics, reports, and market information in one place.

The module consists of five main subpages, each focused on a specific aspect of a company’s performance and market activity:

Overview

The Overview section in Spotlight for Stocks provides a concise yet comprehensive snapshot of a company’s current market performance, financial highlights, and business context. It’s designed to give investors an immediate understanding of the stock’s latest activity and underlying fundamentals – all on one screen.

Financials

The Financials module in Spotlight for Stocks provides a deep, data-rich view of a company’s historical financial performance. It is designed for investors who require accurate, granular, and long-term financial data to evaluate the stability, profitability, and growth trajectory of a publicly traded company.

This module consolidates quarterly, semi-annual, annual or LTM (Last Twelve Months) financial statements, presents trends visually, and gives users control over how they view, analyse, and compare financial metrics across time.

The module includes multiple subpages representing different aspects of financial analysis:

Insights
Income Statement
Balance Sheet
Cash Flow
Market & Valuation
Profitability
Efficiency
Stability

Each section provides consistent access to quarterly, annual, semi-annual, and LTM data where applicable.

Global Controls and Filters

Across all Financials subpages, users can adjust how data is displayed through the top control bar.

Financial Period

Users can choose between:

Quarterly
Annual
Semi-Annual (H1 / H2 or equivalent)
LTM (Last Twelve Months) - calculated rolling data rather than a discrete fiscal period

This allows investors to compare results across different reporting frequencies and to smooth volatility using LTM results.

Additional Controls Include:

Data Range (e.g., last 5 years)
Financial Period Type (Fiscal vs. Calendar)
Currency & Formatting
Currency Precision
Growth Toggles (% QoQ, YoY, HoH where applicable)
Report Dates
Spark Charts
Hidden Metrics

All financial displays adapt dynamically to the selected period type.

It provides an at-a-glance understanding of trends in revenue, profitability, expenses, and other key financial areas.

This section is ideal for quickly spotting long-term patterns and shifts in performance.

Statements

The Statements section contains the company’s core financial reports in detailed table format.
All statements support multiple reporting periods (Quarterly, Semi-Annual, Annual, LTM) and include growth analysis, spark charts, and formatting options.

Subpages include:
