Every report runs a company through seven lenses. Each lens looks at the company from one angle and gives it a score. The report shows all seven scores and a verdict. The "Committee value" figure blends six of those views, giving more weight to the ones that score the stock more strongly; the peer comparison is scored but not blended in.
Estimates what the business is worth from the profits it earns today, adjusted for cash, debt and the cost of capital. It scores how the share price compares with that value, whether the business earns more than its cost of capital with healthy gross margins, how much debt it carries, and whether it produces free cash. If the financial statements are missing, this lens doesn't vote.
Looks at the share price trend: price against its 200-day average, where it sits in its 52-week range, and six-month momentum. It also checks whether earnings are expected to rise and whether trading volume is picking up. If price history is missing, this lens doesn't vote.
Looks at how fast revenue and earnings are growing, along with gross margin, operating margin and company size. If growth figures are missing, this lens doesn't vote.
Looks for reasons the price could move: analyst price targets and ratings, whether earnings are expected to improve, short interest, and how much insiders own. If none of these is available, this lens doesn't vote.
Places the stock in a stage of a boom-and-bust cycle using its recent price momentum and its earnings and revenue growth. It also considers short interest and how much institutions own. If momentum data is missing, this lens doesn't vote.
Measures how risky the stock and the balance sheet are: price swings, beta, company size, debt compared with cash, equity and free cash flow, and return on assets. If those figures are missing, this lens doesn't vote.
Compares the company's valuation, profitability and growth with similar companies. Trading cheaper than peers raises the score; a small or very uneven peer group lowers it. If no usable peers are found, this lens doesn't vote.
Financial statements come from company filings with the SEC (EDGAR). Prices, market data and analyst estimates come from market data providers, including Yahoo Finance. Economic data comes from the Federal Reserve (FRED). The superinvestor pages use the quarterly holdings those managers file with the SEC; those holdings are not used in the seven scores. Each report's footer names the sources used for that report.
Similar companies are chosen from a hand-picked list where we have one, otherwise from SEC industry codes and sector.
Reports are built from SEC EDGAR filings, Yahoo Finance prices and estimates, and FRED economic series. Those providers can be wrong, late, revised, or missing. A cached figure can predate an earnings release. A peer set can be withheld when it is a poor fit. Fair value is an estimate, not a fact.
If the latest filing warns about going concern, the report shows Avoid and does not value the company from past profits.
