Why Use the Ten Cap Method?
The Ten Cap method focuses on a company’s owner earnings to determine its value, ensuring that you only buy stocks that offer a strong annual return (ideally 10% or higher). By including a 50% discount in the calculation, this method also builds in a margin of safety, reducing your risk.
