Scope statement · v1.0 · last updated 2026-05-14

Our scope on stocks.

InvestingPro is not a stock-analysis platform. We list every NSE-traded company as a public reference catalog and we publish calculators a long-term investor needs — but we don't rate individual stocks, set target prices, or issue research notes.

· Reference data, not research· NSE / Yahoo Finance grounded· No buy/sell/hold ratings

Where the line is

What we publish — and what we don't.

What we publish

Reference catalog of every NSE-listed equity, grouped by official NSE sector indices.
Per-stock public reference data: name, symbol, sector, market cap, ISIN, latest closing price, day change, 52-week range. Source: NSE's public archive (EQUITY_L) and Yahoo Finance's public chart feed, refreshed daily after market close.
IPO content — upcoming IPOs, GMP (grey market premium) context, allotment-status guides. Same reference frame: we tell you what an IPO is and how to apply, not whether to subscribe.
Generic-decision calculators: SIP, lumpsum, brokerage, capital gains, position-sizing. None of these recommend a specific stock.
Long-form educational articles on portfolio construction, asset allocation, tax treatment of equities, and the difference between investing styles (value / growth / index).

What we don't publish

Buy / sell / hold ratings on any individual security. Ever.
Target prices or price forecasts. Stock prices are an output of the market, not of our editorial.
Per-company research noteswith thesis, catalyst, risk factors. That's the work of a SEBI-registered Research Analyst — and we're not one.
Stock tips, hot picks, or pump-style “multibagger” lists. SEBI's 2024 Finfluencer guidance specifically calls these out, and they violate our editorial standards regardless.
Portfolio recommendationstailored to your situation. We can't see your tax slab, horizon, or risk appetite — only a SEBI-registered Investment Adviser who has your full picture can.

Where to go for stock research

We point you elsewhere — on purpose.

If you're looking for buy/sell calls, target prices, or fundamental-research dossiers on a specific company, the right places are:

A SEBI-registered Research Analyst(typically your broker's research desk — Zerodha Pulse, ICICI Direct Research, Motilal Oswal, HDFC Securities, Kotak Securities). They publish under SEBI's Research Analyst Regulations 2014 and carry compliance obligations.
A SEBI-registered Investment Adviser (RIA) — for personalised portfolio guidance based on your goals. The official SEBI list is at sebi.gov.in.
Primary sources for fundamentals: company filings on BSE, NSE, and annual reports on MCA21.

We deliberately don't compete with these. There are dozens of well-resourced stock-research platforms in India (Tickertape, Screener, Tijori, Trendlyne); duplicating their work would distract from what we're good at — long-term wealth-building education, multi-product comparison, and calculator-grade math.
