Performance improvements

We focused a lot on the performance and automation during the month of August.

Bug fixes and improvements
- Added tools to process key points more quickly. Enhanced the editorial process to add more insightful key points.

- Improved automation around the CGST, SGST, and IGST billing.
- Added new email servers for faster and more reliable email deliveries.
- Updated the backend libraries (Django 3) for more security and faster developments.

Minor updates
- The latest results page now shows an indicator for "standalone numbers" where the standalone results are shown.
- Improved import to watchlist functionality to support more formats.

Working capital ratios in the ratios table

Trends and changes in working capital days are powerful indicators of the working capital efficiency of companies.

We added 3 new rows for "Debtor days", "Inventory Days" and "Days Payable" in the ratios table.

The inventory days and days payable are calculated on the material cost (cost of goods sold).
 

New ratios for finding price-volume action

We have added some new ratios based on volume and price:

New Volume ratios

Volume 1year average
Volume 1month average 
Volume 1week average

Return over 1week 
Return over 1day

Financial data of new companies coming out with an IPO

We used to show data for new listings after the companies got listed on exchanges. We have now improved upon this workflow. Now the data for new listings starts showing as soon as the IPO gets opened for subscription.

Equity History on company pages

We have added a tab for equity history on the company balance sheets. It provides the details of changes in equity including:
- details of the conversion of warrants
- preferential allotments
- buy-backs and the prices of buy-back
- details of shares issued in mergers and demergers
- other corporate actions such as splits and bonuses

These details are now available with a click. These save a lot of time in understanding various changes in a company's equity.

Insider trades on company pages

The history of insider trades is often helpful in getting clues of promoter (or key managerial person's) actions. These are often helpful in cases where promoter holding is increasing.

The insider trades were already shown on the feed page for the companies you follow. We have now added this detail on the company page too.

Better Customer Support and Guides

We have migrated to HelpScout for providing better support on user queries.

You can submit your queries at: https://www.screener.in/support/

We have also added few guides around common queries
- How do we calculate intrinsic value?
- Why are numbers on Screener different?
- Customizing data in Excel Sheets
