I typically fall in the technical analysis camp so I'm a newbie as far as fundamentals are concerned.
I was just reading about "Stockholder's Equity" and wondering if it's available in TC2000's library of fundamentals. I'm not even sure if it's actually called Stockholder's Equity or if it goes by another name.
Here's what Investopedia calls Stockholder's Equity ...
The portion of the balance sheet that represents the capital received from investors in exchange for stock (paid-in capital), donated capital and retained earnings. Stockholders' equity represents the equity stake currently held on the books by a firm's equity investors.
It is calculated either as a firm's total assets minus its total liabilities, or as share capital plus retained earnings minus treasury shares:
Also known as "shareholders' equity".
Stockholders' equity is often referred to as the book value of the company, and it comes from two main sources. The first and original source is the money that was originally invested in the company, along with any additional investments made thereafter. The second comes from retained earnings that the company is able to accumulate over time through its operations. In most cases, especially when dealing with older companies that have been in business for many years, the retained earnings portion is the largest component.

The closest thing we would carry would be Common Stock Equity:
Morningstar Fundamentals
Common Stock Equity - The amount of shareholders equity attributable to common stock. This figure taken from the annual or quarterly reports. Common stock equity generally consists of the following items:
-
Common stock (all issues) at par value.
-
Capital surplus or additional paid-in capital.
-
Retained earnings or earned surplus (net of foreign exchange gains/losses).
Common Stock Equity = Common stock (all issues) at par + Capital surplus (additional paid-in capital) + Retained earnings (or earned surplus).
