Methodology
How the Vestovix Score works
The Vestovix Score rates every stock from 0 to 100 across five axes: Value, Growth, Income, Safety, and Momentum. Each axis is scored on its own, then combined with fixed weights into one number. The rules are the same for every stock in every market, and they are published in full below.
The five axes and their weights
Value
25%How cheap the stock is versus its earnings, book value, and profitability.
Inputs: Trailing P/E, forward P/E, price-to-book, profit margin.
A trailing P/E under 8 scores highest and above 45 scores lowest. A forward P/E below the trailing figure adds points. Price-to-book under 1.5 and a profit margin above 20% add further points.
Growth
25%How fast earnings and revenue are expanding.
Inputs: Earnings growth, revenue growth (year over year).
Earnings growth above 30% and revenue growth above 30% score near the top. Flat or negative growth scores low. Earnings is weighted slightly more than revenue.
Income
20%The dividend a shareholder actually receives, adjusted for sustainability.
Inputs: Dividend yield, payout ratio.
Yield of 4% or more scores well, 8% or more scores highest. A payout ratio above 100% is penalized because the dividend may not be covered by earnings. Non-payers are treated as neutral, not penalized.
Safety
20%How much the stock swings and how leveraged the balance sheet is.
Inputs: Beta, debt-to-equity.
A beta below 0.4 scores highest, above 2.5 scores lowest. Low debt-to-equity adds points, high leverage subtracts them.
Momentum
10%Where the price sits within its 52-week range.
Inputs: 52-week high, 52-week low, current price.
Prices near the 52-week high score higher. Daily price change is deliberately excluded so the score does not flicker on every intraday move.
Overall score = Value x 0.25 + Growth x 0.25 + Income x 0.20 + Safety x 0.20 + Momentum x 0.10.
Score tiers
Data and limitations
- The score is built only from published fundamentals and price. It does not read news, filings, or management commentary.
- Where a data point is missing, that axis falls back to a neutral value rather than guessing, so a thinly-covered stock scores closer to the middle.
- Prices can be delayed up to 15 minutes. Fundamentals refresh on a slower cadence than price.
- The score is a summary, not a recommendation. It is informational only and not investment advice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Vestovix Score?
The Vestovix Score is a single 0 to 100 rating for a stock, built from five equally-named but differently-weighted axes: Value, Growth, Income, Safety, and Momentum. It is designed to summarize a stock’s fundamentals at a glance.
How is the overall score calculated?
Each axis is scored 1 to 99, then combined with fixed weights: Value 25%, Growth 25%, Income 20%, Safety 20%, and Momentum 10%. The weighted average is the overall score.
How often is the score updated?
The score is recomputed from the latest fundamentals and price. Prices refresh through the trading day, and fundamentals refresh on their own cadence, so the score reflects current data rather than a fixed snapshot.
Is the Vestovix Score investment advice?
No. It is an informational summary of published fundamentals, not a recommendation to buy or sell. Always do your own research.
