What are peers and why should an investor compare against them? 


A stock's peers are the organisation's direct competitors who are operating within the same sector. Because companies in a peer share mutual business interests(industry, size, market share), it has been proven efficient to compare and analyse the trends among peers in a particular group. 


On Tickertape, we provide an in-depth comparison between the ratios of Valuation, Technical and forecast analysis. Along with this, users can now opt to compare the various stocks under the chosen sector and have an exclusive screener built using any one of the three parameters.
