What is the definition of Current Ratio, Long debt, EPS Streak

What is the definition of Current Ratio?
This is the ratio of Total Current Assets divided by Total Current Liabilities for the same period. NOTE: This item is Not Available (NA) for Banks, Insurance companies and other companies that do not distinguish between current and long term assets and liabilities.

What is the definition of Long Term Debt?
Long-Term Debt represents debt with maturities beyond one year. Long-Term Debt may consist of long-term bank borrowings, bonds, convertible bonds, etc.
Long-Term Debt includes: 1) Bonds (convertible or not; secured and unsecured), debentures, long-term bank borrowings, long-term notes payable, mortgage loans, senior debt, subordinated notes 2) Debts/borrowings from or notes payable to shareholders, officers, directors, employees 3) Financial Derivatives for Financial Companies
Long-Term Debt excludes: 1) Commercial paper in banks when liabilities of a company are not delineated between current and non- current.
Investors look at a company's long term debt to gauge how much leverage it has. Like shareholders, the holders of long term debt are suppliers of funds but they rank higher than shareholders in getting their money back if a company fails.

What is the definition of EPS Streak?
For how many out of the last 5 consecutive years has the company reported profits? Profit Streak measures the number of consecutive years within the last five years that the company has reported profits.

What is the definition of Div History?
This field counts whether the company paid a dividend in the last 5 years.
Companies that pay dividends tend to be healthier and more cash-generative.

What is the definition of EPS?
Diluted EPS figure indicates the earnings per-share a business would have generated if all stock options and other sources of dilution that were currently exercisable are taken into account. This version has been normalised to exclude exceptional income and charges, better reflecting underlying results
What is the definition of P/TB?
This ratio is calculated by dividing the latest Price Close by Tangible Book Value per share. This ratio gives an idea of whether an investor is paying too much for what would be left if the company went into liquidation as it represents the hard assets of the company.
Theoretically, PTBV represents the hard assets of the company, i.e. the amount of money that shareholders would receive for each share owned if the company were to liquidate its operations. Some 'intangible' assets can have questionable value - for example a company might have overpaid for an acquisition and conservative value investors sometimes prefer to remove them when valuing a company.

A higher PTBV may indicates a higher level of risk due to increased potential for share price losses. However, tangible book value may be substantially different from market value, especially in high-tech, knowledge-based and other industries whose primary assets are not tangible.
