We rebuilt our DCF valuation models from the ground up and upgraded how Intrinsic Value is calculated. Alpha Spread now selects the method that best fits each company.
You can now see how the new methodology performed across thousands of stocks on our new Valuation Backtest page. We update the results at the end of every month.
Stock intrinsic value is the real worth of a company's stock, based on its financial health and performance.
Instead of looking at the stock's current market price, which can change due to people's opinions and emotions, intrinsic value helps us understand if a stock is truly a good deal or not.
By focusing on the company's actual financial strength, like its earnings and debts, we can make better decisions about which stocks to buy and when.
