# Company overview

The Overview is the first page of a company: the price chart on the left, the key debates beneath it, and a panel of news, valuation, exposure, and unusual trades on the right.

## The price chart

Choose a range: **1D**, **5D**, **1M**, **6M**, **1Y**, **YTD**, **2Y**, **3Y**, **MAX**, or a custom range from the calendar (**End: Today**, **Apply**). A badge shows the bar size in use. The time zone selector offers Eastern, Central, Pacific, UTC, GMT, Central European, Japan, Hong Kong, and your local zone. Pre-market and after-hours sessions are shaded.

* **Line / Candlestick** switches the drawing.
* **Indicators** adds simple moving averages from 5 to 200 days.
* **Multiples** overlays valuation multiples (price to earnings, enterprise value to revenue, enterprise value to EBITDA) on a trailing or forward basis. The overlay breaks where a multiple is undefined rather than drawing through the gap.
* **Pan / Zoom** switches the drag behavior. **Fullscreen** enlarges the chart and adds an interval selector.

Drag the chart's edge to resize it.

## Explaining a price move

In **Zoom** mode, drag across a stretch of the chart. A band appears with the move, for example "$180 → $195, +8.3%," and an **Open Explainer** control. Select it to ask the Analyst why the stock moved over that window. The Analyst opens a thread titled with the ticker and "Price Move," breaks the move into market, style, industry, and company-specific components, and offers **View factor details** for the breakdown.

## Key Debates

The live arguments around the stock, in three columns: **Bullish**, **Bearish**, and **Trade Ideas**. Step through older and newer debates with the arrows. **Read in analyst** opens the full argument in the Analyst.

| **Overview**       | Market capitalization, enterprise value, price to earnings, enterprise value to revenue, and enterprise value to EBITDA, each with its history.                                                                      |
| **Exposure**       | The company's factor exposures as a pie, with how they have changed.                                                                                                                                                 |
| **Unusual Trades** | Unusual trades in the company across **Equity**, **Options**, and **Congressional** disclosures. Select a row to ask the Analyst about it.                                                                           |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sterlinglabs.co/research/company-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
