This week we are using new screening criteria in SimpleVisor to find stocks trading well below their respective fair value. A stock’s fair value is estimated based on its expected cash flows. SimpleVisor uses the average of three fair value models- Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett, and our proprietary DCF model.
In addition to screening for stocks trading at deep discounts to their fair value, we added a forward valuation measure. And given the growing odds of a recession, we included a Piotroski score threshold. The Piotroski score measures a company’s financial position with a score of 0 to 9, 9 being the best.
Within SimpleVisor, the stock screen for fair value can be found under Ideas > Screener and within the Fundamental set of criteria.
Screening Criteria
We considered the following factors when screening:
- S&P 500
- Forward P/E <15
- Piotroski Score > 7
- Trading at least 40% Below Fair Value
