Narrow Market
A narrow market describes a situation where only a few stocks or sectors influence market movement, while the majority of stocks have low trading volume. It has few active participants on either the buy or sell side of the market. This limited participation suggests that the market trend is not broadly supported across the entire market.
Multi-Bagger
A multi-bagger refers to a stock that delivers returns multiple times higher than its original investment value. For example, a stock that grows five times from its purchase price is called a five-bagger. Investors often associate multi-baggers with strong business growth, long-term holding, and effective capital allocation.
Runaway Gap
A runway gap or a continuation gap sometimes appears in the middle of a strong price trend. It reflects that the stock price is gaining sustained momentum. Often, these gaps show up when traders rush in. As a result, the prices can move sharply higher or lower. A runaway gap sends a strong signal to those who follow trends. It confirms the strength in price and suggests that the healthy momentum may continue for some time.
EBITDA
EBITDA is short for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. EBITDA allows investors to understand cash flow from all operations while excluding certain non-cash expenses related to interest, depreciation, amortization, and taxes.
That’s why investors use EBITDA as a valuation technique to determine the profitability of a company. Interestingly, EBITDA is a variation of operating income which is known as EBIT.
While there are many ways to calculate EBITDA, the most common methods include:
1) EBITDA = Net Income + Taxes + Interest + Depreciation + Amortization 2) EBITDA = Operating Income + Depreciation & Amortization

Follow On Public Offer
A Follow On Public Offer or FPO allows a publicly traded company to issue more stock to public investors. FPOs are similar to IPOs because FPOs allow companies to raise additional capital through the public market.
For an FPO to be possible, a company must have already done an IPO. FPO shares are typically issued at a discount by a company whose track record is already clear because they are publicly traded.
