Days to cover: shares short over average daily volume at the latest FINRA settlement. Put/call by open interest: put open interest over call open interest within 90 days, from CBOE's delayed chain. Insider market purchases, twelve months: open-market purchases on Form 4 (US) or SEBI Regulation 7 disclosures marked market purchase (India). Market capitalisation: price times shares outstanding (the latest filed count, or the diluted weighted count where a company with several share classes tags no single count; India from the shareholding pattern). Price to earnings: price over the last four quarters' EPS as filed (net income over diluted shares for a quarter whose EPS is not filed), put on the current share count where a split or bonus fell inside them. A rule in words over filed numbers; the list says which names meet it and nothing about what to do. Write your own.
