How comparing works here
How do I compare two companies?
Type the tickers into the box above — up to five at once. Every row is read from the companies' own annual filings, so a comparison shows the same measure computed the same way for each of them rather than whatever each company chose to highlight.
Can I compare an ETF with a stock?
Yes, and the table changes to suit. Two funds are compared on cost, income, spread and record, because revenue growth and debt mean nothing for a fund. A fund against a company shows only what both of them have.
Side by side
Compare
Put up to 4 companies, funds, commodities or coins next to each other — health, valuation, growth and performance.
Every row is computed the same way for every column, from each company's own annual filing, so a comparison is not a collection of whichever figures each of them chose to put in a press release. Funds are compared on what a fund is actually judged on: cost, income, spread and record.

Fund against fund
What each one charges, what it pays, and what it has returned — the questions the table below cannot ask a fund
| Metric | SPYSPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST | QQQQQQ |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $763.96 | $704.47 |
| Fee, a yearCharged as a share of what you hold, taken out of the fund's value rather than billed. | 0.09%Alpha Vantage Cheapest | 0.18%Alpha Vantage |
| Yield, last 12 monthsThe payments actually made over the last twelve months against today's price. Computed the same way for every fund here, which is why it can differ from the yield a manager advertises. | 0.99%4 payments Highest | 0.44%4 payments |
| Pays | Quarterly | Quarterly |
| Record startsThe fund's launch date where its manager publishes one, otherwise the earliest price on record — which is usually within weeks of the launch. | Jan 22, 1993prices from Nov 4, 1996 Longest record | Mar 10, 1999 |
| HoldingsPositions held, cash left out, where the manager publishes a count. | — | — |
| Top 10 weightHow much of the fund sits in its ten largest positions. Concentrated is not worse than spread — it is a different bet, which is why no fund leads this row. | 39.4% | 46.7% |

Every return is measured to Oct 19, 2026, the last date all of these funds have a price for, so each covers the same stretch of market. A window longer than a fund has existed is left blank rather than shortened.
Returns follow the share price only — distributions are not counted, which understates every fund here, and understates the highest-yielding one most.
A mark says which fund leads that row — nothing more. The cheapest fund, the highest yield and the strongest past record are rarely the same one, and past returns are a record rather than a forecast. A blank means the figure was not published to a source this page reads.
Why funds show no financial scores
An ETF is a basket of other holdings, not a business. It has no revenue, no balance sheet and files no annual report, so profitability, debt and accounting scores have nothing to measure. Comparing a fund on price performance is meaningful; comparing it on profit margin is not, so those cells are left blank rather than filled with zeros.
