Welcome to the Chaikin Power Gauge Stock Rating plug-in from Chaikin Analytics. This StockChartsACP plug-in allows you to quickly gauge the health of individual US stocks without ever leaving ACP.
The Power Gauge Stock Rating is comprised of 20 important factors that impact a stock's future price, divided into four component categories: Financials, Earnings, Technicals, and Expert Opinions. For each stock, these 20 factors are assessed and then combined into one easy-to-understand overall rating.
Chaikin Analytics calculates this rating for over 4000 US stocks on a daily basis. With the plug-in, StockCharts members can see the current overall rating for a stock, plus the stock's ratings in each of the four component categories (Financials, Earnings, Technicals, and Expert Opinions).

Once you purchase the Chaikin Power Gauge Stock Rating plug-in, it will be available in StockChartsACP. To access it, click on the Chaikin Power Gauge icon in the menu on the right side of ACP.
If a rating is available, the panel on the right of ACP will show the Chaikin Power Gauge rating for the active chart's stock symbol.
Built by Marc Chaikin, the Chaikin Power Gauge Stock Rating is a proprietary 20-factor model that combines financial data, earnings information, expert opinions, and technicals into a single overall rating.
The rating is comprised of 20 factors within four major categories.
The top of the panel shows the overall rating for a stock, which can range from Very Bullish to Very Bearish.
Very Bullish stocks are likelier to outperform their peers, while Very Bearish ones are less likely to outperform.
Sometimes, the Chaikin Power Gauge Stock rating may not agree with the stock's technical condition, indicating that there may be some information driving the market that the model has not factored in yet. In those situations, an adjustment may be applied to a stock's ranking, resulting in a “Neutral +” or “Neutral—" overall rating.
If a Bullish stock crosses below its long-term trend, the Power Gauge Stock Rating will be adjusted from Bullish to a “Neutral +” rating. Conversely, a Bearish stock will be adjusted to “Neutral -” if it crosses above its long-term trend.
Investors may use a Neutral + or Neutral - rating as a “call to action” for further research into that stock ahead of price movements.
Below the overall rating, you'll see an individual rating for each of the four components.
This breakdown allows you to identify which factors drive the overall rating.
