We reconstruct the analysis with the exact financials available at the time and trace the position through its 140% gain to show how each of the six criteria contributed to the signal.

We break down average Buffett Scores by GICS sector and identify the five corners of the market where fundamentals are strongest relative to price — including two sectors most screeners overlook entirely.
Read article →Our model labels anything below 35 as "Sell." We analysed 18 months of historical scores to find out what actually happens to those stocks over the following 6 and 12 months. The results show the score threshold is not arbitrary — low-scoring names underperform the index by a statistically significant margin.

Every assumption is shown — free cash flow projections, terminal growth rate, discount rate — so you can reproduce the calculation yourself and see exactly where our $214 intrinsic value estimate comes from.
