  • Technicals explained, not just plotted. Each company page reads its indicators in plain words, so you do not need to know what an RSI or a MACD is to follow it.
  • Valuation against the company's own past. stocks-llm shows where today's multiples sit in the company's own history and what growth the price assumes, next to the business quality numbers.
