Historical Financial Ratings
Retrieve and analyze historical financial ratings and key metric scores over time for public companies using the Octagon MCP server.
Prerequisites
Ensure Octagon MCP is configured in your AI agent (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.). See [references/mcp-setup.md](references/mcp-setup.md) for installation instructions.
Workflow
1. Identify Analysis Parameters
Determine the following before querying:
- Ticker: Stock symbol (e.g., NVDA, AAPL, MSFT)
- Records: Number of historical data points to retrieve (e.g., 100, 500, 2000)
2. Execute Query via Octagon MCP
Use the octagon-agent tool with a natural language prompt:
Retrieve historical financial ratings and key metric scores over time for , limited to records.
MCP Call Format:
{
"server": "octagon-mcp",
"toolName": "octagon-agent",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "Retrieve historical financial ratings and key metric scores over time for NVDA, limited to 2000 records."
}
}
3. Expected Output
The agent returns historical ratings data including:
| Date | Overall Score | Overall Rating | ROA Score | ROE Score | DCF Score | D/E Score | |------|---------------|----------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | 2024-01-15 | 5 | A+ | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | | 2024-01-08 | 5 | A+ | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | | 2023-12-29 | 5 | A | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

Key Metrics Explained
| Metric | Definition | Score Range | |--------|------------|-------------| | Overall Score | Composite financial health rating | 1-5 (5 = best) | | Overall Rating | Letter grade for financial health | A+ to F | | ROA Score | Return on Assets efficiency | 1-5 (5 = best) | | ROE Score | Return on Equity efficiency | 1-5 (5 = best) | | DCF Score | Discounted Cash Flow valuation score | 1-5 (5 = best) | | D/E Score | Debt-to-Equity health | 1-5 (5 = lowest debt) |
Analysis Tips
- Consistent high scores: Companies maintaining 5-star overall scores and A+ ratings over extended periods demonstrate stable financial excellence.
- Score improvements: Watch for upward trends in individual metrics (ROA, ROE) as indicators of improving operational efficiency.
- Debt management: A stable or improving D/E score suggests the company is managing leverage responsibly.
- Rating downgrades: Sudden drops in overall rating (e.g., A+ to B) warrant deeper investigation into financials.
- Diverging metrics: If ROE is high but ROA is low, the company may be using significant leverage to boost returns.
Use Cases
- Investment screening: Filter for companies with consistently high ratings
- Risk monitoring: Track rating changes for portfolio holdings
- Due diligence: Review historical financial health before investment decisions
- Peer comparison: Compare rating trajectories across competitors
