Methodology#
Net income is trailing-twelve-month, computed from SEC EDGAR filings and refreshed as companies file quarterly. Universe: US-listed stocks, share classes deduplicated. Net income includes one-off items (write-downs, investment gains — Berkshire's swings with its portfolio), so pair it with free cash flow for the cash view. Returns are total returns (dividends reinvested), updated daily. Past performance does not predict future returns; not investment advice.
