Why examine OPSTM for the “Last 4 Quarters” instead of the most recent quarter?
A majority of all companies are exposed to seasonality in their core businesses. If you only look at the most recent quarter you may not get an accurate picture. You can examine how well a company has been doing over its most recent 4 quarters by looking at the positive (green) or negative (red) summary. This summary can be found under “Combined 4 Quarters” in the “OPS Diagnosis” box.
