⚠️ Potentially overvalued β€” trading $13.00 above intrinsic value

How is this calculated? β–Ύ

The Graham Number is √(22.5 Γ— EPS Γ— Book Value per Share). It was developed by Benjamin Graham β€” the father of value investing and Warren Buffett's mentor. A stock trading below its Graham Number has a "margin of safety," meaning you're buying a dollar's worth of value for less than a dollar. The 33% rule of thumb: Graham preferred buying at 2/3 of intrinsic value (a 33% margin of safety).

πŸ“Š Key Metrics

P/E Ratio
18.4x
What does this mean? β–Ύ

Price-to-Earnings: how much investors pay per dollar of earnings. Lower generally = cheaper. S&P 500 average is ~22x. Below 15x is often considered undervalued; above 30x requires strong growth to justify.

P/B Ratio
N/A
What does this mean? β–Ύ

Price-to-Book: compares stock price to net asset value. Below 1.0 means you're buying assets for less than their accounting value β€” a classic Graham signal. Above 3–4x suggests the market expects significant intangible value.

Dividend Yield
None
What does this mean? β–Ύ

Annual dividend payments as a % of stock price. A 4% yield means $4 in annual income per $100 invested. Compare to the 10-yr Treasury yield (~4.5%) as the benchmark for 'worth it' income.

Graham Number
$72.00
What does this mean? β–Ύ

Benjamin Graham's formula: √(22.5 Γ— EPS Γ— Book Value). It estimates fair value. If the current price is below this number, the stock has a 'margin of safety' β€” one of the cornerstones of value investing.

Margin of Safety
-15.3%
What does this mean? β–Ύ

How far below intrinsic value the stock is trading. +30% means the stock is 30% cheaper than its calculated fair value β€” a large cushion against being wrong. Negative = trading above intrinsic value.

Market Cap
$90.0B
What does this mean? β–Ύ

Total market value of all shares. Large-cap ($10B+) = stability. Mid-cap ($2–10B) = growth potential. Small-cap (<$2B) = higher risk/reward. Bigger doesn't always mean better.
