Spredgar^® Software products are stock investment software that provide financial analysis and portfolio management. SPREDGAR V4 and ValuStox are Microsoft Excel add-ins based on real data, presented in an unbiased, clear format, so stock investors can make informed decisions and maintain their portfolios. Fundamental data are current as of 11 May 2008.
SPREDGAR V4 analyzes company financials, producing 70+ financial ratios, cash flow, standard graphs and SIC comparable data.
Fundamental data are updated weekly Sunday night on Spredgar Software's web site. Stock quotes (20-minute delayed) from public services. SPREDGAR maintains the most recent eight quarters and most recent seven years for each company.
SPREDGAR computes and graphs 75+ standard financial ratios in areas of profitability, leverage, and liquidity for annual and quarterly data on over 8,000 companies, and plots ratios over time for all covered companies. SPREDGAR generates free cash flow using the indirect method by comparing successive balance sheets to see where the money is really going. SPREDGAR optionally can suppress abnormally large values (which can render a graph useless). On the "tabulated" ratio sheet, the days comprising a firm's cash generation cycle are listed, including receivable days, inventory days, and payable days. The Altman "Z-Score", indicating the likelihood of bankruptcy, is also computed.

SPREDGAR V4 adds the power of Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) comparative data and ratios, tabular comparison of ratios, and over 8,000 company/ticker names. Averages for a company's SIC code are generated. For example, the category "prepackaged software" (SIC 7372) includes 370 companies. So if you're interested in a particular company, you can also see a line-item average for all companies in the category. SIC averages make it easy to tell which companies are outperforming their peers, and in which areas. SPREDGAR creates separate capital structure pie charts for both a company in particular and its SIC code competitors.
