Stock Market Instrument Panel

Your NVDA cockpit, expanded to 12 stocks. The stock on top carries all of its gauges in one black panel: the daily gauges first — Current P/E, Forward P/E, PEG, Gross Margin and Stock Price — then a divider line, then the quarterly gauges underneath: the five balance-sheet gauges, each with a plain-English line under it saying what the name means and what the dial is checking, plus the Quarterly Dividend and yearly Dividend Yield gauges below that same line, an overall health light, a balance-sheet trend strip under the quarterly dials — one 4-quarter trend line per balance-sheet indicator, colored green, yellow or red by whether that indicator is moving the healthy way for that gauge — a dividend trend strip under the dividend dials — the last 8 quarterly checks actually paid, plus the trailing-four-quarter total behind the Yearly Dividend Yield, colored the same way — and the metrics list at the bottom. Below all the dials sits one wide Timeline gauge — the stock’s price trend line over 1d–5Y, with its own range buttons. The quarterly gauges only change when a company reports each quarter; the daily gauges move with the market. Calibrated the Cramer way: green is runway, red is danger. The Stock Price dial carries marks for the 50, 100 and 200-day moving averages, and each featured dial has a 1d–5Y range switch for its trend line. The stocks below the black panel are a slim list — name, price, % change and a health indicator, no gauges — hit “Put on top in black” on any row and that stock takes over the black panel at full size.

Data update status — where and when this was collected

This is a dated snapshot, not a live feed. Prices and changes are the latest prints returned at build time on Mon Oct 26, 2026. Valuation and margin figures are trailing-twelve-month / forward estimates from the sources below, collected the same day. When you want newer numbers, ask for a rebuild — the panel re-bakes the snapshot.

Edit the stock list

Change a stock’s symbol (type the new symbol, then press Enter or click away — its gauges, balance sheet and dividend data follow the new symbol), delete a stock from the list, or add a new stock by symbol. A stock you add has no snapshot data yet: its row is marked NO DATA AVAILABLE and its gauges arrive with the next data rebuild — nothing is estimated for it. Edits apply to this session’s view of the panel.

Cramer homework — while you hold it

From How to Make Money in Any Market: buying is only half the job. Run this check per holding each quarter — if the thesis breaks, the gauges above don’t save it.

  • Thesis intact? Is the original reason you bought it still true, in one sentence?
  • Earnings: Beat or miss vs. expectations — and was guidance raised, held, or cut?
  • Growth still funding the multiple? Revenue and EPS growth vs. the Forward P/E and PEG on its card.
  • Margin direction: Gross Margin expanding, flat, or compressing quarter to quarter?
  • Trend check: Price vs. its 50-day and 200-day — above trend, or rolling over?
  • Balance sheet: Cash, debt and free cash flow still support the story?

How to read the gauges

  • 1 · Current P/E — Trailing twelve months, on reported earnings: what you pay for earnings already delivered. Same scale as Forward P/E — Green < 20 · Amber 20–35 · Red > 35. INTC and SPCX show no data: negative trailing earnings make the ratio meaningless.
  • 2 · Forward P/E — Green < 20 · Amber 20–35 · Red > 35. Your code’s scale, kept for every stock. TSLA, SPCX and INTC pin to the red end — that’s the point. Read it against Current P/E: forward below current means earnings are expected to grow into the price.
  • 3 · PEG Ratio — Green < 1.0 · Amber 1.0–2.0 · Red > 2.0. Price vs. growth: under 1 is runway, over 2 is paying up.
  • 4 · Gross Margin — Red < 20% · Amber 20–40% · Green > 40%. Fuel in the tank: pricing power and room to invest.
  • 5 · Stock Price — Where price sits in its 52-week range. The dial carries three marks — sky = 50-day, gold = 100-day, rose = 200-day moving average — with the values listed under the featured dial. Green = lower third, Amber = middle, Red = top quarter / extended.
  • 6 · Quarterly Dividend — Cash paid per share each quarter (Build 7; shown below the quarterly gauge line in the black panel on top). Green badge = pays quarterly; gray = no dividend (AMZN, TSLA, SPCX); red = suspended (INTC, last paid Sep 2024). The dial scale runs $0–$2.00 — LLY’s $1.73 is the biggest check on the panel, JNJ’s $1.34 next.
  • 7 · Yearly Dividend Yield — The yearly instrument, on a trailing-four-quarters basis: the dividends actually paid over the last 4 quarters ÷ price — not the latest quarter × 4, so a mid-year raise counts only for the payments already made at the new rate. NVDA paid $0.01 + $0.01 + $0.25 + $0.25 = $0.52 over the trailing year → 0.24%, not the $1.00 run-rate. Green ≥ 1.0% · Amber 0.25–1.0% modest, under 0.25% token · Gray = no income. Dial scale 0–3% — only JNJ ($5.28 trailing, 1.99%) reaches the green band on this snapshot; most of this growth-heavy list pays a token yield, which is the honest picture.
  • Quarterly gauges — the balance sheet, under the divider line in the black panel on top. These five only change when the company reports each quarter. Each dial also carries a plain-English line under it in the panel; the short version:
  • 8 · Debt to Equity — What the company owes vs. what its owners have in it: total debt ÷ shareholders’ equity. Think of it as the IOU gauge — $0.50 of debt for every $1 of owners’ money is light. Green < 0.5 · Amber 0.5–1.5 · Red > 1.5. Bands are starting points — read leverage against the sector; a utility carries more debt than a software company by nature.
  • 9 · Interest Coverage — Can it pay the interest bill? Yearly operating profit ÷ the interest owed on its loans. 5x means the year’s profit covers the bill five times over. Green > 5x · Amber 2–5x · Red < 2x — stretched: one bad year and the bill starts to bite.
  • 10 · Current Ratio — Can it pay this year’s bills? Cash plus things that can quickly be turned into cash, ÷ bills coming due within a year. Above 1.0 means what’s due is covered. Green > 1.5 · Amber 1.0–1.5 · Red < 1.0.
  • 11 · Free Cash Flow Margin — The fuel gauge: real cash left over after running the business and buying the equipment it needs, as a share of sales. Earnings can be accounting; cash is cash. Green > 10% · Amber 0–10% · Red < 0% — burning cash.
  • 12 · Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) — Is management putting money to work well? Yearly profit earned on every dollar invested in the business. Green > 15% · Amber 8–15% · Red < 8%. A company earning 20¢ a year on each invested dollar is compounding; one earning 4¢ is barely beating a savings account.
  • 13 · Timeline — stock price trend — The wide gauge below all the dials at the bottom of the black panel: the stock’s price line over the chosen range, with the same 1d–5Y buttons as the dial trend lines, the range’s high and low on the left, and a chip calling the trend UP or DOWN with the % move over the range. On the NVDA model panel it draws the baked Finnhub price history; a selected stock’s per-range history is not in this snapshot, so its timeline says “no data available” until the next data pull — it is never an estimated line.
  • Why lines — why a stock is yellow or red — Wherever a verdict is yellow or red, a short “Why …” line names the indicators of concern: under the health pill in the stock list (worst first, top three — the full list is in the black panel), under the daily dials for the overall verdict, and at the top of the quarterly block for the balance sheet. Each entry names the gauge, its value, and its badge wording; a slipping share-count trend is named too. The reasons are read straight off the same gauge statuses that set the colors. Green stocks get no why line — nothing flagged, nothing to explain.
  • 14 · Balance Sheet trend — last 4 quarters — Under the five quarterly dials, one trend line per indicator, from 4 quarters ago to today’s snapshot value. The color is indicator-aware — it is not “up = green”: Debt to Equity falling is green because less debt is healthier, while Interest Coverage, Current Ratio, Free Cash Flow Margin and ROIC rising is green. Green = IMPROVING (healthy-direction move: 4%+ over the window, 1.5+ points for FCF Margin) · Yellow = STEADY (roughly flat) · Red = SLIPPING (wrong-way move). The summary badges above the strip count improving / steady / slipping at a glance. Trends step only at quarterly reports, never daily.
  • 15 · Dividend trend — last 8 quarters — Under the two dividend dials, one line per dividend measure: the quarterly check actually paid per share, oldest to latest over the last 8 payments, and the trailing-four-quarter total those checks add up to at each step — the number behind the Yearly Dividend Yield dial, whose last point is the total on that dial. Green = GROWING / RISING (a raise inside the window — NVDA’s $0.01 → $0.25 step shows as a cliff) · Yellow = FLAT (the same check every quarter: paid like clockwork, but the income is not growing — NTAP, MRVL) · Red = a cut or worse: INTC’s line runs $0.125 → $0.00, cut in 2023 and suspended since Sep 2024. No line at all where a company has never paid (AMZN, TSLA, SPCX). Like the balance-sheet trends, these step only when a dividend is paid, never daily.
  • Balance Sheet health light — The overall GREEN / YELLOW / RED at the top of each quarterly block is decided from all five gauges plus the trend: GREEN = at least four gauges green and none red, with the trend still healthy; RED = two or more reds, or leverage and coverage both red; anything else is YELLOW. The trend is the share-count trend — buyback (falling share count) is healthy, dilution (rising) is slipping — and a green sheet whose trend is slipping drops to YELLOW. The metrics list at the bottom of the block (free cash flow, cash, total debt, cash/debt, share count) is the raw material those gauges are built from.
