STOCK VALUATION
How is stock valuation different from stock screening?
Basically, you are not looking for a stock based on technical factors and performance.
You have instead evaluated a company and decided that in terms of being a company it's a good bet.
But has everybody else discovered the same thing and already caused the stock to be overvalued?
What is a fair price for this company's stock, anyway?
There are not many sites with software geared to answering this question but the list may grow. Are the sites methods valid? We don't attempt to evaluate them.
To give valid results, there are several considerations. Is the software measuring the right paraneters? If the site is inserting numbers into the fields, are the numbers right? Are they outdated?
If you can insert your own numbers, are you sure you are inserting the right thing? Are your figures outdated?
