🔧 How It Works

Dynamic Calculations
  1. Sector-Based Ratios - Automatically detects company sector and applies appropriate valuation multiples
  2. Economic Integration - Uses real-time risk-free rates, VIX volatility, and GDP growth data
  3. Quality Weighting - Adjusts method weights based on company type (growth/mature/distressed) and market conditions
  4. Negative Value Handling - Shows actual calculated values but excludes negative results from weighted average


Risk-Adjusted Analysis
  • VIX Integration - Higher market volatility increases required margin of safety
  • Sector Risk Premiums - Energy and Financial sectors get higher risk multipliers
  • Quality Adjustments - High Piotroski F-Score companies get lower risk ratings
  • Data Quality Impact - Insufficient data increases risk score and safety requirements


Visual Display
  • Horizontal Table Layout - Organized by method groups (Valuation → Results → Risk → Health)
  • Color-Coded Results - Green/Yellow/Red indicators for risk levels and recommendations
  • Warning Symbols - ⚠️ for data quality issues, ❌ for excluded negative values
  • Dollar Amounts - Both percentage and dollar-based margin of safety calculations


📈 Interpretation Guide

💎 Intrinsic Value Results
  • Weighted Average - Combines all enabled methods based on intelligent weighting
  • Confidence Level - High/Medium/Low based on method agreement and data quality
  • Method Count - Number of successful valuation calculations


🎯 Margin of Safety
  • Percentage - Current discount/premium to calculated intrinsic value
  • Dollar Amount - Absolute dollar difference per share
  • Buy Price - Risk-adjusted target purchase price


⚖️ Risk Assessment
  • Low Risk (Green) - Normal position sizing (3-5%)
  • Medium Risk (Yellow) - Reduced position sizing (1-3%)
  • High Risk (Red) - Minimal position sizing (<1%)


📊 Recommendations
  • STRONG BUY - Low risk + adequate margin + high confidence
  • BUY - Meets risk-adjusted margin requirements
  • HOLD - Positive margin but higher risk
  • SELL - Insufficient margin for risk level

⚠️ Important Notes & Data Limitations

📅 Data Timing Considerations

Fundamental Data Lag - Company financial data (earnings, cash flows, balance sheet items) may be 1-3 months behind current market conditions

Quarterly Reporting Delays - Most recent available data reflects the company's situation as of the last filed quarterly/annual report

Market vs. Fundamentals Gap - Stock prices react instantly to news, while fundamental data updates occur periodically

Accuracy Impact - Recent business changes, market events, or company developments may not be reflected in current calculations


🔧 Technical Limitations
  • Data Dependencies - Requires fundamental data availability from TradingView
  • Quality Warnings - Pay attention to ⚠️ symbols indicating insufficient data
  • Risk Context - Always consider risk score in investment decisions
  • Market Conditions - Tool automatically adjusts for market volatility (VIX)
  • Sector Specificity - Ratios automatically adjust based on company's sector


💡 Best Practice Recommendations
  • Supplement with Current Analysis - Always combine with recent news, earnings calls, and management guidance
  • Monitor Data Quality - Check when the underlying financial data was last updated
  • Consider Market Context - Factor in recent market events that may affect company performance
  • Use as Starting Point - Treat calculations as baseline analysis requiring additional research


🔗 Methodology

Based on established academic research and professional practices:

  • Benjamin Graham - Security Analysis principles
  • Joel Greenblatt - Magic Formula methodology
  • Edward Altman - Z-Score bankruptcy prediction
  • Joseph Piotroski - Fundamental analysis scoring
  • Messod Beneish - Earnings manipulation detection
  • Modern Portfolio Theory - Risk-adjusted decision making


This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes. Always conduct additional research and consider consulting with financial professionals before making investment decisions.
Notes de version
A full rework of the valuation engine, the risk model and the table. Every external figure now has a named source and a link in its tooltip, and every score enters the decision exactly once.

Valuation engine
  • Discount rate - CAPM with Damodaran's unlevered sector betas, relevered with the company's market D/E; risk-free in the stock's own currency (local 10-year less the sovereign spread); Damodaran country risk premium for non-US exchanges; WACC on market weights with the debt cost measured from interest coverage.
  • DCF and FCFF - the same two-stage form: five years with growth fading to the terminal rate, then a Gordon perpetuity, mid-year discounting. The exit multiple is gone, so the cash-flow methods no longer echo the Multiples column.
  • Growth - company-specific (revenue growth, sustainable growth, ROE proxy) minus net share issuance. Mature companies: capped at 15% and by the sustainable growth rate. High-growth profile: capped at 25% without the SGR clamp.
  • Free cash flow - averaged over the last three fiscal years for cyclical sectors (energy, materials, industrials, consumer discretionary, semiconductors) so a peak or trough year does not become the perpetuity.
  • Multiples - forward sector P/E on next-year EPS; the P/B leg is dropped when buybacks have hollowed the book (company P/B above 3x the sector's). Sector-aware leg weights: book leads for banks and REITs.
  • Balance sheet - full equity bridge (debt + preferred + minority interest - cash and short-term investments); diluted EPS and diluted shares; NOPAT at the measured effective tax rate.
  • Dividend model - growth from the sustainable growth rate; a payer the Gordon model cannot price keeps its column as n/a with the reason.


Quality and risk
  • Piotroski F-Score is the quality factor in the required margin of safety, replacing a 15-ratio score with industrial thresholds.
  • Altman Z-Score is not applied to banks or REITs; leverage risk reads interest coverage before book debt/equity.
  • Beneish M-Score in its three published zones (-1.78 / -2.22), with a watch zone instead of a single cutoff.
  • Removed - Advanced Multiples (EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales), Magic Formula, VIX and GDP inputs, sector risk premiums. The equity risk premium is Damodaran's implied ERP, editable in Settings.


Table
  • Summary row - "Now": verdict, buy-below price, margin of safety and intrinsic value on the recommendation colour; Risk in its own cell on its own colour; "Outlook": the PEG read paired with the Rule of 40, shown for growth and technology companies and for any other company that clears it.
  • Columns - decision first (Intrinsic, MoS, Buy Price, Risk), then the six methods, then price tests (Fwd P/E - PEG, earnings yield) and company health (Piotroski, Altman, Beneish). The detail row shows each method's weight in the blend, the valuation range and the conservative entry.
  • Layouts - Full, Summary or Details, plus a Compact switch that hides the detail row.
  • Readability - prices in the symbol's currency (pence and cents handled), margin of safety beyond -100% shown as a multiple, Altman above 10 shown as ">10", one tooltip per column header with the full derivation.
  • Alert - fires once when price crosses below the risk-adjusted entry, not on every bar.


Settings
  • Model Assumptions - marginal tax rate and base equity risk premium, each with its source.
  • Sector Multiples - forward P/E (FactSet), P/B and unlevered beta (Damodaran) per sector, editable, with update links in the tooltips.
  • Display - font size, table layout, compact.
Notes de version
UI improvements. Choose "Summary + Compact" to fit it into the phone screen. If moving into the chart panel, then add "Top = 16".
