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 5 companies are outliers on Revenue Growth (1y) (TTM) and 10 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 industry is included unless you choose primary industry only. Nothing on this page is investment advice.
