Today's cheapest, by our grader2
A preview of the names sitting at a 5-year cheapness extreme right now.
The full Buy Zone — every graded name with P/E or yield, percentile, days in zone and entry price, plus the daily activity feed — is part of Pro.
| ?Business-type classifier. The Buy Zone metric (P/E vs yield) is chosen by archetype: Cash Cows are graded on dividend yield; all others on P/E. | ?0-100 quality score from Layer A (monthly screen). It does not change daily. Compare within an archetype, not across. | ?Today's value of the metric used to grade this stock. P/E for Reinvestment Growth, Toll Road, Mature Compounder, and Cyclical; dividend yield for Cash Cows; P/FCF as a fallback when GAAP earnings are distorted (e.g. heavy stock-based comp), labeled on the row. | ?One scale for every row: where today's price sits in this stock's own 5-year valuation history. p0 = the cheapest it's been, p100 = the priciest — whatever metric graded it (P/E, P/FCF, or dividend yield; yield rows are inverted for you so the direction never flips). Green qualifier = cheap side (p40 and below). | ?Where today's price sits in the stock's 52-week range: 0% = at the 52-week low, 100% = at the high. Refreshed with every daily re-grade. A cheap-vs-history name near its 52-week low is a different situation than one that's already rebounded. | Trend?12-month trend of the reported numbers (revenue, margins, EPS, balance sheet) — green = improving, red = deteriorating. No AI, no score; computed nightly from the same data the watch list uses. Cheap + red trend is the value-trap pattern. | ?Days since the stock first entered its current grade (Very Attractive / Attractive / Approaching). | ?Price the day this stock first crossed into its current grade. Useful as a comparison reference. | ?Percent change in price since the stock entered this grade. Green = price has dropped further (you'd be buying cheaper now than at entry). Red = price has rebounded — the opportunity has narrowed. | ||
