Frequently asked questions
What does the Graham Value screen show?

The Graham Value screen lists NSE- and BSE-listed stocks that currently meet a specific set of filters: PE < 15, PB < 1.5, D/E < 1. It is an automated, rules-based filter that surfaces companies matching those numbers — Benjamin Graham style value picks. It is an informational research tool, not a curated list of recommendations.

What are the exact criteria for the Graham Value screen?

A stock appears in Graham Value when it satisfies PE < 15, PB < 1.5, D/E < 1. Every company in the list passes all of these conditions at the time of the most recent data refresh. You can open any stock to see how it meets each condition.

How often is the Graham Value list updated?

The list is recalculated on our regular data-refresh cycle. Price- and volume-based screens update through the trading day, while fundamentals-based screens update as new financial data becomes available. The stocks shown reflect the latest available data, not a fixed or historical snapshot.

Can I customise or save the Graham Value screen?

Yes. You can start from Graham Value and adjust the thresholds, add or remove filters, and combine it with other conditions to build your own screen. Free users can run all presets and save a limited number of custom screens.

Are the stocks in Graham Value buy or sell recommendations?

No. Graham Value is a neutral, informational filter that shows which stocks currently match a mathematical set of conditions. It does not constitute investment advice and is not a buy, sell, or hold recommendation. Always do your own due diligence or consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser before investing.

Does a stock appearing in Graham Value mean it is a good investment?

Not necessarily. Meeting the criteria only tells you the stock matches those specific numbers today — it says nothing about future performance, valuation fairness, or the quality of the underlying business. Treat the results as one input among many.

What does it mean for a stock to look "undervalued" on a valuation screen?

A valuation screen flags stocks trading at a low multiple of earnings, book value, cash flow or enterprise value relative to a fixed threshold. A low ratio can mean the market is pricing the stock cheaply — but it can also reflect real problems like slowing growth or a cyclical downturn. The screen measures the ratio only; it does not judge whether the price is justified.

Is a low P/E or P/B always better?

Not on its own. A low P/E can signal a bargain or a "value trap" where the low price reflects deteriorating fundamentals. Ratios also vary widely by sector, so these screens are best used alongside quality, growth and debt filters rather than in isolation.

What is the Graham value approach?

Benjamin Graham favoured financially conservative companies at modest valuations. Our Graham Value screen approximates this with P/E below 15, P/B below 1.5 and debt-to-equity below 1. It is a simplified adaptation of his published criteria and is informational, not advice.
