Valuation methodology

Thomas Matthews Aug 3, 2024

If one refers to the screener entitled "Undervalued predictable" there are valuations listed for both discounted earnings and DCF. But if one then enters the ticker into search bar for the summary, those stocks are "overvalued", some significantly. For example, use BBAR or GGAL from that list. The GF price is substantially lower.

Question: What is the difference in the valuation methodology that would cause these supposedly overvalued stocks to appear on the undervalued list?

Thomas Matthews Aug 3, 2024

I should have asked the question differently. I see the difference in valuation used by the GF value, but then why are these listed as "undervalued" stocks on the screener if they are, in GF's metric, actually overvalued?

These are different methodologies so you are getting different results. This is not uncommon.

I get that there are differing methodologies... I find it curious that GF itself uses different ones sio that it declares a given stock to be undervalued in one place and overvalued in another. Choose the methodology you want and make one that known.
