Owner-Minded Checklist
Simple screen: low price, high earnings yield, high return on capital. Passing the screen is not permission to buy; it earns deeper work.
Upside to DCF value: -52.98%
Higher means more earnings for each dollar paid.
High is attractive unless reinvestment quality is poor.
Operating income divided by invested capital when available.
Need To Know
- MOAT: MOAT is a competitive-advantage gate, not a price datapoint. Look for durable pricing power, switching costs, network effects, cost advantage, brand, distribution, or regulation.
- ROC: High ROC means each retained dollar can become more dollars. That is the engine behind compounding.
- Negative cash flow: It can be good when the cash is building high-ROC capacity, like stores, factories, software, or distribution that earn more later. It is bad when it only funds weak unit economics or survival.
- Kleiber's Law lens: Use log-log charts to compare company scale against output such as earnings, FCF, or ROC. A strong business keeps output scaling well as size grows; a weak one needs more capital for less incremental return.
