Visualize NZX companies by size, revenue, and profitability
The scatter chart plots every NZX-listed company on a customisable two-axis grid. Default axes are market capitalisation (X) and EBITDA (Y); switch via the dropdowns above the chart to compare any pair of metrics from market cap, revenue, EBITDA, net profit, total assets, dividend yield, P/E ratio, ROIC, debt-to-equity, and the Governance Risk Score. Bubble size encodes a third variable (default: revenue); colour encodes sector. Hover any point for a tooltip with the company's ticker, full name, and a link to the detail page.
Data sources: performance_metrics (market cap, prices), income_statements and balance_sheets (financials, stored in NZD thousands), and governance_risk_scores_v2 (GRS components). All financial metrics use the most recently disclosed fiscal year per issuer; companies on different reporting cycles are NOT aligned to a common reporting date. Use the sector filter to drill into peer groups — comparing software-sector EBITDA margins to bank-sector margins on an unfiltered chart is misleading because banks report net interest income rather than EBITDA. Banks (HGH, GEN) and insurers are excluded from the EBITDA axis by default.
The bubble chart shows three dimensions simultaneously: bubble size represents market capitalization (larger = more valuable company), X-axis position shows revenue (right = higher revenue), and Y-axis position shows EBITDA margin (higher = more profitable operations). Companies in the top-right quadrant are large, high-revenue, and highly profitable - often market leaders with competitive advantages.
Utilities companies often cluster with moderate-to-high margins and substantial revenue due to their regulated, capital-intensive business models. Technology and services companies may show high margins but varied revenue levels. Retail and consumer companies typically show lower margins but potentially higher revenue volumes. Use sector filters to explore these patterns.
The chart only includes companies with complete financial data (revenue, EBITDA, and market cap) and positive EBITDA margins. Loss-making companies are excluded to provide clearer visualization of profitable operations. Companies without recent financial filings or those in financial distress may not appear.
