Every term is defined twice: once the way a filing would put it, and once the way somebody would explain it to you across a table. The second one is usually the one that sticks.

The route by which a loss-making company is expected to reach profit, judged as two questions in order: does one customer make money, and can total contribution ever cover the fixed cost base?
A company can pass the first test and fail the second permanently. Positive unit economics with a cost base the addressable market cannot support is what catches people who stopped checking after the first question.
The move of an SME-platform company to the main exchange board, once it meets size, profitability and shareholder-count criteria.
The genuine bull case for an SME holding — better liquidity, wider coverage, index eligibility. It is also uncommon and slow, so it is not something to rely on when you buy.
A 0–9 score from nine yes-or-no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency.
Built to separate cheap stocks that are recovering from cheap stocks that are failing. It measures direction, not quality.
Value of new business as a percentage of the premium written on that business — a life insurer's core profitability ratio.
It stands in for net margin, because an insurer's reported profit falls precisely when it sells more. A fast-growing insurer looks worse on P/E than one that has stopped selling.
Enterprise value divided by installed capacity in tonnes a year.
Compared with the cost of building new capacity and with acquisition prices. It ignores profitability, so pair it with EV/EBITDA.
