The Value Graph
A seven-lens valuation workbench that compares a stock's price to its own history across earnings, dividends, cash flow, and more.
The Value Graph asks one question seven ways: is this stock cheap or expensive compared to its own history? Rather than comparing a company to the market or to peers, it compares today's valuation to where that same company has traded over years of daily history.
The Value Graph is a Pro tool. Free accounts see a preview landing with a sample chart; the workbench unlocks with Pro.
The Seven Lenses
Each lens values the stock through a different fundamental:
- EPS — price to earnings (P/E), trailing or forward
- Dividend — dividend yield (inverted: a high yield reads as cheap)
- Free Cash Flow — price to free cash flow
- Operating Cash Flow — price to operating cash flow
- Revenue — price to sales
- EBITDA — enterprise value to EBITDA
- Book Value — price to book
Seven lenses exist because no single one fits every company. P/E misleads when earnings dip; yield only works for dividend payers; asset-heavy businesses suit book value. When several lenses agree, the signal is stronger.
Reading the Band
The centerpiece chart draws the stock's price against a fair-value line — what the price would be if the stock traded at its own long-run median multiple — with the gap between them shaded. Price below the line suggests the stock is cheaper than its own norm; above, richer.
Each lens also shows where today sits as a percentile of the daily history, summarized in a five-tier verdict from Deep Value to Expensive, plus a distribution chart of where the multiple has spent its time. A buy-target solver works backwards: pick the multiple or yield you'd want to pay, and it shows the price that gets you there.
What "Undervalued" Here Really Means
Be clear-eyed about what this measures. "Cheap versus its own history" assumes the company's past is a fair yardstick for its future. If the business has genuinely deteriorated, a low percentile isn't a bargain — it's the market repricing reality. The Value Graph flags *when a stock is unusual relative to itself*; it can't tell you *why*. That's your research.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which lens should I trust most?
The one that best matches how the business makes money — yield for a mature dividend payer, cash-flow lenses for capital-light businesses, book value for financials. Agreement across several lenses matters more than any single verdict.
