Read the X-Radar Scorecard

Updated 31 October 2026 · 3 min read · 14 Contents

Plain-language meaning

The X-Radar Scorecard rates a listing on five pillars — Durability, Valuation, Growth, Momentum and Financial Health — from fixed thresholds on stored metrics, and averages them into an overall score out of 100.

Why it is useful #

It summarises many metrics at a glance while keeping each pillar separate, so a high valuation score cannot hide weak financial health.

Where it appears and the workflow #

Open Market Details; the scorecard is the default tab (in the app, the Overview tab). Each pillar shows a score out of 100, a label and a bar; Details opens up to two positives and two cautions. Below are the Investment snapshot, the analyst summary where available, and 'What the evidence says' and 'Where the evidence disagrees'.

Calculation or source #

Each criterion is rated good, bad or neutral against fixed thresholds; missing criteria are left out. Pillar score = round(100 × (G + 0.3025N) ÷ (G + B + 0.55N)), where G, B and N count good, bad and neutral criteria. The overall score is the average of the pillars that have a score. Labels: 75 and above Strong, 60 Good, 45 Mixed, 30 Weak, below 30 Poor. Examples of criteria: ROE 15% or more is good and below 8% bad; P/E 25 or less good and above 60 bad (loss-makers use EV/EBITDA and price to sales instead); revenue growth 15% or more good and below 0% bad; interest cover 5× or more good and below 1.5× bad.

Prerequisites, inputs, period and unit #

Requires a Pro plan. Scores need enough synced metrics; a pillar with no inputs shows a dash.

Worked example #

Illustrative only: a pillar with 3 good, 1 bad and 1 neutral criterion scores round(100 × 3.3025 ÷ 4.55) = 73, labelled Good.

What high and low mean #

A higher pillar score means more of that pillar's criteria met the good thresholds. The overall score is a summary, not a recommendation.

Positive, negative and zero #

Scores run from 0 to 100 and are never negative.

Unavailable values #

The card says scores are unavailable until enough synced metrics exist, that scores could not be loaded, or that there is not enough data for an overall score.

Limitations and common mistakes #

Thresholds are the same for every sector, and a pillar based on few criteria can swing on one value. The score cards show no as-of date; check the dates in the underlying tabs.

Market-specific differences #

The pledge criterion applies only where a shareholding filing exists; other criteria apply in every market with synced statements.

Related terms #

Related concepts include ROE, price-to-earnings, PEG ratio, Altman Z-score and Supertrend. Read the SWOT tab and Read financial statements.

Suggested next steps #

Open the scorecard for one listing, note its weakest pillar, and use Details to find the criterion that pulled it down.
