About Us
StoxCompare started with a childhood habit: watching a lot of business news.
Our founder grew up with financial television on in the background more often than not, and by the time the 2008 financial crisis hit, he was old enough as a teenager to actually understand what was happening — and to watch it happen to people around him. Savings wiped out. Jobs gone. Homes lost. It wasn't an abstract headline; it was neighbors, family friends, and classmates' parents living through it in real time. That experience left a lasting impression: most people never had the tools or the information to see it coming, or to make sense of it while it was happening.
Around that same time, he started watching interviews with Warren Buffett — drawn in by how plainly Buffett could explain something as intimidating as investing. That led him to Benjamin Graham, and eventually to Graham's book Security Analysis, which laid out, in real detail, how to actually evaluate a business before putting money into it: read the financials, understand the fundamentals, don't guess. It was the first time investing looked less like speculation and more like a discipline anyone could learn.
Later, a video about Michael Bloomberg introduced him to the Bloomberg Terminal — a professional-grade platform that gives institutional investors deep, structured access to company financials and market data. It was clearly powerful. It was also clearly out of reach for an everyday investor trying to research a stock on their own.
That gap — between the kind of rigorous, fundamentals-first analysis Graham described and the tools available to actually do it — is what StoxCompare is built to close. The goal is simple: give everyday investors clear, well-organized charts of the financial metrics that actually matter, so they can study a company's fundamentals the way Graham taught, without needing a professional terminal or a finance degree to get there.
We're still early, and still building. If there's a company you'd like covered or a feature that would make this more useful to you, we'd love to hear it on the Suggestions page.
