What is TIKR?

TIKR is a research terminal that brings institutional data — S&P Global CapitalIQ financials, consensus estimates and earnings-call transcripts — to individual investors at a retail price. Its paid plans reach more than a hundred thousand stocks in ninety-two countries with up to thirty years of history, and its superinvestor tracking follows more than ten thousand funds. Its valuation model lets you set revenue growth, operating margin and an exit P/E, with bull, base and bear cases on the paid plans; TIKR’s own help centre describes it as P/E-based, with no discount rate to set. There is a watchlist with news and events, but no tracker for your holdings, cost basis or returns, and nowhere to keep the reason you bought.

Where TIKR shines

Institutional-grade financials from S&P Global CapitalIQ, up to thirty years deep, on stocks in ninety-two countries.

Consensus estimates on every plan, and earnings-call transcripts going back years.

Superinvestor holdings across more than ten thousand funds, and a Business Owner Mode that hides prices while you read.

Why choose Lemma Analysis

A discounted cash flow, and three more

TIKR projects earnings and applies an exit multiple. Lemma Analysis prices the company four ways — Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model — two of them discounted cash flow with the discount rate yours to change, drawn on one axis against today’s price. Part of Ultimate, seven days of which comes with every new account.

A portfolio, not only a watchlist

Track holdings, transactions, dividends and value for free; on Ultimate, see the portfolio against the S&P 500 with drawdowns, correlation and factor exposure.

A grade of the business

A Quality Score from 0 to 10 across five pillars on every company and every plan, the free one included. TIKR carries no grade of the business itself.

A thesis with a review date

Every holding can carry a written thesis with a review date and a status, so the reason you bought comes back to you before you sell for a worse one.

When to stay on TIKR

You invest globally

TIKR’s paid plans reach ninety-two countries; Lemma Analysis covers companies listed on NASDAQ and NYSE and nothing else.

You want long history and consensus

Thirty years of CapitalIQ financials and consensus estimates on every plan run deeper than anything here: we publish no consensus forecasts, and our statements come from US companies’ filings with the SEC.

You follow superinvestors and transcripts

Fund holdings across ten thousand investors and a long transcript archive are TIKR’s strengths, and Lemma Analysis has neither.

How to switch

01

Create a free account

Sign up in a moment — no credit card. Seven days of Ultimate come with it; the portfolio, the watchlists and the Quality Score stay free afterwards.

02

Value a stock your way

Open any ticker’s Intrinsic Value tab: Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model, drawn on one axis against today’s price, with every assumption editable and a bear/base/bull case behind each.

03

Screen and build a watchlist

Screen for candidates, then track them on a watchlist with a margin-of-safety target so each name carries an undervalued / fair / rich signal.

04

Write the thesis and review it

Record why you own each position and give it a review date. Reaffirm or exit when the date comes due — a habit the other tools don’t give you.

FAQ

Does TIKR have a DCF?

TIKR’s help centre describes its valuation model as P/E-based: you set revenue growth, operating margin and an exit multiple, with no discount rate. Lemma Analysis runs two discounted cash flows beside Ben Graham’s formula and the Dividend Discount Model, all on one axis; they are part of Ultimate, and every new account gets seven days of it.

What does Lemma Analysis do that TIKR doesn’t?

Four intrinsic-value models including two DCFs, seven multiples judged against the company’s own history, a portfolio tracker with analytics, a five-pillar Quality Score and a thesis journal with review dates. TIKR goes much further on global data, history and estimates, and we say so.

Is TIKR better for international stocks?

Its paid plans cover ninety-two countries with CapitalIQ data. Lemma Analysis covers companies listed on NASDAQ and NYSE only, including the ADRs of foreign companies listed there, so for a global portfolio TIKR reaches what we cannot.

Can I track my portfolio in TIKR?

TIKR’s portfolio page is a watchlist with news and events rather than a tracker of holdings, cost basis and returns. Lemma Analysis tracks 1 portfolio of up to 10 positions for free, and on Ultimate adds unlimited portfolios and analytics against the S&P 500.

Can I bring my TIKR watchlists across?

There is no direct import from TIKR. Watchlists are quick to rebuild by ticker, and a portfolio comes across as transactions — typed in on the free plan, which holds 1 portfolio of up to 10 positions, or on Ultimate imported from your broker’s CSV export or synced from Trading 212 or Interactive Brokers. Start with the positions you know least well; that is where a written thesis earns its keep.
