The Stock Score is calculated using a proprietary algorithm that incorporates multiple forms of analysis, including fundamental, technical, sentiment and economic.

No, the Stock Score is calculated differently for indexes than for individual companies.

Seasonality refers to the cyclical patterns in share prices that can occur repeatedly at certain times of the year. For example, a stock that had a history more often than not of rising in the month of November would be described as having a seasonally bullish pattern in November.
