Where the data layers disagree

Four independent readings run on every company we cover: price structure, news sentiment, analyst coverage and fundamentals. Most days they broadly agree. The divergence score is what is left when they do not, measured on the same scale for every name, every trading day.

It describes the data on a company. It is not a view on the company, and not a view on what the price does next.

How to read the two numbers

Bias runs from -100 to +100 and says where the four layers land on balance. Divergence says how far apart they were before they were combined. A name at +40 with low divergence and a name at +40 with high divergence are not the same reading, and the second one is the more interesting page to open. Which layer is the odd one out is the part an account answers, on the dashboard.

Questions

What is a divergence score?

It is how far apart four independent readings of the same company sit on a given day: price structure, news sentiment, analyst coverage and fundamentals. A low number means the four are aligned. A high number means at least one of them reads the company differently from the rest.

Does high divergence mean a stock is mispriced?

No. Divergence describes the data, not the company and not the price. It says the layers disagree, and it says nothing about which one is right or about what happens next. EquityBias publishes readings, not recommendations.

How is it different from a bias score?

The bias score is where the four layers land on balance, from -100 to +100. The divergence score is how much they had to be reconciled to get there. Two companies can carry the same bias score with completely different levels of agreement behind it.

How often does it update?

Every trading day, after the close. Public pages show a reading 3 trading days behind the live one; an account sees the current day.
