Investment Tools – Simplify Your Stock Analysis
In this section, you’ll find calculators designed to help you analyze and evaluate stocks, similar to the methods I use in my own analysis. While investing involves more than just calculations, these tools can give you a clearer picture of what price might be advantageous when buying stocks.
​
There are three calculators available, each focusing on a different metric. To gain a well-rounded understanding of a stock, I recommend using all three calculators for your analysis.
​
​
1. Margin of Safety Calculator
This calculator helps you determine the intrinsic value of a company and apply a margin of safety to minimize risk. A margin of safety ensures that you only buy a stock when it’s significantly undervalued. For example:
​
-
If the intrinsic value of a stock is $100, aim to buy it at $50 with a 50% margin of safety.
​
​
​

2. Ten Cap Calculator
The capitalization rate (cap rate) measures the annual return (owner earnings) a business generates based on its current purchase price. Warren Buffett often uses this method to evaluate investments. Ideally, the cap rate should be at least 10% to ensure a strong return.
​
​
​
​
​
3. Payback Time Calculator
The payback time calculation helps you estimate how long it will take to recover your investment through compounded growth. A good rule of thumb is to aim for a payback period of 8 years or less, ensuring a faster return on your investment.
