Fair Value Screener: Financial Services

The Financial Services companies on this site with a verdict, ranked by how far today's price sits from what a share looks to be worth. 14 companies, 10 of them trading below their range. It's a calculation, not a pick: the expensive ones are on the list too.
Educational, not advice. Each range here comes from four ways of valuing a company that often disagree, and a cheap-looking stock is often cheap for a reason. Click a ticker to see the working, and where the four methods disagree.

Screener analysis

What today's list says, in plain English
worth a closer look

Everything below comes from the table on this page: the same companies, prices and ranges, read as one story. It answers the questions a person has about a list like this, in the order they usually ask them.

What's on the list?
14 companies, ranked by how far today's price sits from what a share looks to be worth, biggest discount first. 10 sit more than 10% below their fair value, 3 within 10% of it, and 1 more than 10% above. It's a calculation, not a pick: the expensive ones are on the list too.
How cheap is cheap?
The widest gap at the top is SEZL, about 66% below its fair value. 7 companies sit more than 30% below. A gap that wide usually means one of two things: the market sees a problem the four methods don't measure, or the growth guess behind the range is generous. The company's page says which, so read it before believing the number.
Which way does the list lean?
Half the list sits more than 29% below fair value. That says more about which companies have been valued than about the market: the list is whoever has been run through the calculator, not the whole market.
Where do they cluster?
Financial Services is the biggest group, 14 of the 14, sitting on average about 32% below their ranges. A whole group sitting below its ranges, as Financial Services does here, is worth a thought: either the market is down on that kind of business, or the methods flatter it.
How fresh is it?
The prices are live. The ranges are not: each one was worked out on the date in the "range as of" column, from what the company had reported by then. 7 of the 14 ranges are from the last week, and 7 are older, dimmed in the table. The oldest goes back to August 21. A price can move a long way in that time while the range stays put, so an old row's gap is partly age.
How sure are the ranges?
11 of the 14 ranges rest on all four methods. 3 rest on fewer, because a method sat out (a company that lost money can't be valued on its profit, and one burning cash can't be valued on its cash), and those ranges are shakier for it.
What the rank leaves out
The order is arithmetic: today's price against a blend of four estimates. It doesn't know whether the business is earning its keep, whether a cheap one is cheap for a reason, or how far apart the four methods landed. Each company's page answers all three, under "Why this verdict" and "Fundamental analysis".
The bottom line
14 companies, 10 of them more than 10% below their ranges, with the widest gaps at the top. The one to open is the company you already own or already wonder about, not the one at the top of the list. A discount is a question, and the company's page is where it gets answered. None of this is a recommendation.
How to use it
  • Start from a company you know, not from the top of the list.
  • On its page, read "Why this verdict", especially whether cheap is a good sign there.
  • Check how far apart the four methods landed. Bunched is more convincing than scattered.
  • Add it to a watchlist to get an email when the price crosses the range.

How to read this

The price is live; the range is not. Each range was worked out on the date in the "range as of" column, from the numbers the company had reported by then, and it only changes when that company is analysed again. Rows older than a week are dimmed.

The last column is how far today's price sits from the fair value, the blend of the four methods. A minus number means the price is below it, a plus number means above. Neither is a conclusion on its own. How far apart the four methods landed matters as much as their average, which is why every row links to the working.
