Sorry everyone! And thank you! Due to high volume I am hitting my API limits. If you are getting a server error that is why. The limit resets ever minute so please wait and try again.

Consider caching your API results, and eventually upgrading to a paid tier to increase your API limits. Also, I should be able to enter a stock ticker on your website and see the corresponding model without needing to sign up.

Im skeptical whether these types of models can help you make better investment decisions. The fate of a company usually hinges on some fundamental question. For Apple it is whether they can stay a prominent platform that can capture a significant portion of the value created on it. For Tesla it is how fast their self driving tech will evolve. For Google it is whether AI will make search obsolete or more valuable.

> these types of models This is THE way fundamental analysis is done. There are many ways to model - but this is the most robust as you have the most inputs.

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted, because it’s true.

Maybe people just have no idea how “fundamental analysis” works or even what it means?

This is how it works. That doesn’t mean you’re going to beat the market, or even make a positive return. But it’s essentially the basic fundamental analysis model.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Your examples are actually edge cases that DCF was never designed to handle. There are lots of investments that are way more boring than Apple, Tesla, and Google, and that should be analyzed with DCF. DCF is more for slow and steadily growing companies that might be undervalued for just a moment because of factors outside of the company's control. Tech companies can be harder to value via DCF, because as you say, the…

Let's say you sit down and make a DCF for every company in the S&P 500. Now sort them by how much their current price differs from what you call "fair value". You expect that investing in all of the companies in the upper half of the list will result in a better long-term return than investing in the lower half of the list?

No, that’s not at all what the parent commenter was saying.

It's predicting a contraction in value of 20% to 70% of every stock I throw at it. 40k DIJA is a more-than-inflationary bubble popping within a few years? Edit: Chipotle must be headed for E. Coli again: Projected Price: $-2,890.64 https://www.useequityval.com/model?ticker=CMG

I mean all USA debt delinquencies are currently between the same levels as Q1 and Q2 of 2008... foreclosures aren't near as high, but they are trending up quickly.
