The median P/E across the 117 Basic Materials stocks plotted is 18.21, with the middle half between 10.88 and 32.10.

What is the median Revenue Growth (1y) (TTM) of Basic Materials stocks?

The median is 10.9%, with the middle half between 4.6% and 39.5%.

Is there a relationship between Revenue Growth (1y) (TTM) and P/E for Basic Materials stocks?

How does this chart handle outliers?

A company whose value lies more than three interquartile ranges beyond the first or third quartile is treated as an outlier. By default it stays on the chart, pinned to the edge as an open marker, and its true value is shown in the tooltip and the table. In this view 3 companies are outliers on Revenue Growth (1y) (TTM) and 3 on P/E. You can switch to percentile clamping, exclude outliers, or plot raw values on a log scale.

Metrics from Business Quant's screener: trailing-twelve-month figures from SEC filings and multiples on the latest close. A company appears once even when it lists more than one share class. A company with a secondary business line in this sector is included unless you choose primary industry only. Nothing on this page is investment advice.
