Now there is a faster and easier to use company comparison page on Google Finance! Many of you query multiple companies at the same time, so we have worked to make the results better. Let us take a look at this comparison of HP & DELL.
First, the comparison chart displays price changes for all the companies you include. Next to the chart, you will see news related to all of those companies. You can navigate the chart, zoom in and out, and click on news stories just as you can on the chart on a regular stock page.
You will find a table of key metrics such as price or market cap right below the chart, and can customize the metrics by adding or removing columns from the table. Your configuration will be saved and applied to future comparisons as your personal setting.
You can also add more companies to the page. Enter the ticker in the input box above the price chart and click! You will find the new company's price, news and table metrics have been added.
Last but not least, Google Finance now supports cross-country stock comparison. Compare any public stocks from across the world. For example, you can compare Apple with HTC Corporation.

Was this just added today? I noticed some bugginess yesterday the 14th when attempting to compare some ETFs with some mutual funds. To be a little more specific, I was comparing MDLTX and EACFX, both mutuals and tried to load DDM, an ETF, and it wouldn't show all of them together no matter what I tried, and even after reloading the browser. As i messed around withit I noticed it was also mismapping the lines to the wrong symbols and colors. If it helps, I was using Firefox 3.5.
This feature looks really useful, thanks.
Now if I could suggest an idea for a new feature - how about a way to stop the spammers from hitting the discussions. There is one web address that is popping up 10,000's of times and hitting the report button does nothing.
So is anything happening with currencies in these comparisons? If I compare, for instance, Exxon, Shell and Shell-ADR (NYSE:XOM,LON:RDSA,NYSE:RDS.A), I see relative movements which reflect currency changes as much as the performance of the companies. By choosing 1 August 08 as my start date I see that Shell purchased in London has performed about 20% better. In reality, what I am looking at is a 20% fall in the relative value of the GB pound.
You can now track the state of the economy with Google in Real Time using adwords and adsense. Simply follow the simple guidelines in the most reacent post on http://www.investingincanada.info . This is a similar feature to tracking real time H1N1 cases with google.
Could you please return the ability to look at 1 day? I used to watch the the graph for the three indexes throughout the trading day. It's the predefined comparison linked from the mini graph on the main page. The new system initializes the graphs at 3 days, there's no link for 1d, and scrolling the mouse wheel does not zoom in further. Thank you.
Wow... I hadn't checked G Finance in more than a year and it's really becoming something. I'm starting to think I could use it for my day-to-day stock review. Great work, kudos to the team!
Now... is there a way I can track the price of Gold, Silver, Crude oil, Copper, etc. in G finance ? Something like that (this is NOT a sp.am link, it's from stockcharts and I don't work for them ;) I just use their charts for commodities) http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?c=$GOLD
Thank you!
When we will have Google Finance for Brazilian stocks?
Every thing is fine but some country and specific area have not considering in this system?
With charts in general, I can't see the last bar on OHLC settings; I just see the penultimate bar. And I usually have trouble seeing that because the price numbers are overlapping it. Would be good to see the actual week or day we are on shown on the chart and in space that is not obscured by the price numbers. Otherwise, the updates are excellent imv.
Please add a way to track options, bonds, and vix in our portfolios! Thanks for the constant improvements to the site. The demographics information is facinating.
So JNPR moves from NASDAQ to NYSE, and the entire history is now lost in Google finance. Not really an improved company comparison. BTW - Yahoo Finance has no trouble making the transition.
How do I merge all my portfolios into one report?
some one will tell me that how i trace EMA values of particular co.
Please are we able to have charts in larger resolution? For example MACD indicator is a bit on the small side.
I hope the google finance team is preparing a "Portfolio chart" because this is really a missing feature on Gfinance !
