Frequently Asked Questions

SmartSkor is a research-driven score published once each trading day for every stock on BIST. It distills dozens of signals from the academic finance literature into a single number from 1 to 10 that summarizes a stock's expected one-month-forward return. A high score means the stock looks more attractive along the dimensions our model measures.

The most recent SmartSkors are available to subscribers. Scores are recalculated once each trading day — the data flow runs after BIST closes and the updated scores are live by the following morning — so subscribing means you always see the freshest rankings. You can become a subscriber directly on our website.

The score combines dozens of characteristics organized under six categories: Profitability, Value, Investment Discipline, Momentum, Fundamental Momentum, and Healthy Attention. Every characteristic carries equal weight — we don't do data mining. For the detailed breakdown, see the methodology page.

Once each trading day. The data flow runs after BIST closes; by the following morning, the previous day's SmartSkor is live in the app. Some inputs change with daily market data, others as companies publish their quarterly financials.

No. SmartSkor is a numerical ranking, not investment advice. A score of 9 means the stock is attractive along the dimensions our model measures; it carries no view about your portfolio, your risk tolerance, or your investment horizon. Treat it as an input alongside your own analysis.

Intrinsic-value models require too many subjective inputs — growth rates, margins, discount rates — and small differences change the result dramatically. Instead, we measure each stock by comparing it to the rest of the BIST universe: by profitability, valuation relative to fundamentals, momentum, and balance-sheet strength. That approach depends far less on forecasting and far more on observable data.
