The Graham-Dodd Stock Screener is inspired by the seminal principles outlined in Benjamin Graham and David Dodd's classic work, "Security Analysis." While Graham and Dodd did not prescribe a specific formula or rigid algorithm for stock valuation, they laid out foundational principles to distinguish prudent investing from speculation. Our screener is built upon these general guidelines, providing a structured approach to evaluating the intrinsic value of common stocks relative to their market prices.
This screener calculates the intrinsic value based on rigorous adjustments to income statements and balance sheets, adhering closely to the core analytical methods advocated by Graham and Dodd. By highlighting the "margin of safety," the difference between a stock’s intrinsic value and its current market price, investors can identify potential opportunities where the stock is significantly undervalued, thereby reducing investment risks.
Additionally, our screener incorporates extensive historical backtesting data, enabling investors to assess how effectively the Graham-Dodd principles have performed under various market conditions. Please note, however, that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and comprehensive analysis should always accompany your investment decisions.
With our Graham-Dodd Stock Screener, you gain a practical, data-driven tool designed to align closely with the philosophy of value investing, helping you make informed, disciplined, and strategic investment choices.
