Methodologies and Calculations
Blended Model Approach
The primary "Intrinsic Value" combines multiple proven methodologies:
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
- Estimates future free cash flows
- Discounts them at appropriate rates
- Adjusts for cash, investments, and debt
- Divides by outstanding shares for per-share value
Relative Valuation
- Determines market price relative to fundamental worth
- Based on assets, earnings, and cash flows
- Compares multiples to peers and historical averages
Automated Calculations
- No manual input required beyond selecting the stock
- Proprietary models use current financial data
- Professional-grade analysis without complex calculations
How to Interpret Results
Quick Investment Decision
- Overvaluation Percentage: If positive, stock may be expensive
- Undervaluation Percentage: If negative, stock may be a bargain
- Intrinsic Value Score: Higher scores indicate better valuation attractiveness
Advanced Analysis
- DCF vs. Relative Value Gap: Large differences indicate market sentiment vs. fundamental value disconnect
