This record begins in 2011, so it does NOT include the 2008 financial crisis. Banks and other lenders look far safer here than a longer history would show. The most recent year is also still running and its counts are incomplete. Companies are grouped by the industry code on their own SEC filings, which is coarse: a company that does two things lands in one bucket.

Educational use only — not investment advice. "Undervalued / fairly valued / overvalued" and every risk score reflect our models vs. price, which can be wrong or based on stale or incomplete data. Always review the company's own financials and SEC filings, and consult a licensed advisor, before acting.
