The Company Profile tool uncovers what drives a company's value, tests different scenarios, and helps make trading decisions.
You may think it's a no-brainer. You're only going to put on a directional trade if you've got a hunch a stock's going to move in a particular direction, right? But to make that decision involved more than just guessing. You may have to look for things like what drives a stock's value or price forecasts.
The Company Profile tool in the thinkorswim® platform by TD Ameritrade may help you as a trader drill down into the data and create your own short-term, "what-if" scenarios.

“It can be challenging to derive the effects of a company’s business units on its valuation if all you have available are news articles and regulatory filings," says Chesley Spencer, Trading Product Manager, TD Ameritrade. "The Company Profile can greatly simplify that process by modeling directly the effect of different business lines to a company’s bottom line.”
For your convenience there are several ways you can access the Company Profile tool. Just log in to the thinkorswim® platform and select Company Profile from either the trade tab, Analyze tab, or the View the News gadget.
