Maz Vantage grades every listed company on 80 metrics, measured against its own sector rather than the whole market, and turns them into one rating from 1 to 5 — with every step on show.

What we believe
01
A bank and a software company should not be judged by the same yardstick. Every metric is ranked within the company’s own sector, and a sector is only rated once it has at least 20 companies to compare.
02
The rating is the end of a chain you can follow: each stock page shows the rating and its five factor scores to everyone, and, with a free account, every ratio behind them with its value and sector percentile.
03
A figure a company does not report is left out and its weight shared among the rest — never counted as zero, never filled in with a guess. Extreme values are capped so one outlier cannot swing a sector.
The method
Step 1
Each of the 80 metrics becomes a percentile among the company’s sector peers, oriented so that higher is always better — a low P/E ranks high, a high debt ratio ranks low. Extreme values are capped at the 1st and 99th percentiles first.
Step 2
Valuation · 18 metrics · 16.7% of the rating
What you pay for earnings, sales, cash flow and assets.
Growth · 17 metrics · 16.7% of the rating
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are expanding.
Profitability · 21 metrics · 16.7% of the rating
Margins and returns on the capital the business uses.
Financial Health · 20 metrics · 16.7% of the rating
Debt, liquidity and the strength of the balance sheet.
Momentum · 4 metrics · 33.3% of the rating
How the share price has moved — counted twice.
Step 3
Each factor is re-ranked within the sector, the five are combined with Momentum counted twice, and the result is ranked one last time and mapped onto the 1–5 scale and its label. Every scoring run, upgrades and downgrades are listed on Quant.

On every stock page
A stock page also answers what the business may be worth and how far its accounts can be trusted. None of these figures feeds the Maz Rating: they sit beside it so you can weigh them yourself.
Six discounted cash flow models (5 and 10 years, three terminal methods) and six multiples — EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, P/S, P/E and P/B — each measured against the sector median, the closest peers or the company’s own 10-year history. Every model that produces a figure is shown, because the spread between them is the honest answer.
A check for signs of earnings manipulation, year by year, with the eight indices behind it so you can see which accounts moved and where to look in the annual report.
The result under five methodologies, ratio by ratio, with the threshold each one was tested against.
Shariah screening
Index providers do not agree on the limits, so we do not pick one for you. Each stock page shows the result under every methodology, ratio by ratio, with the threshold it was tested against.
