Hello everyone, 2 weeks ago I posted on [r/ValueInvesting](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/) an analysis I ran on more than 5,500 stocks. I’ve improved it using a more robust and statistical approach (z-scores and outlier detection), adding 4 new metrics and 1 more pillar and I’ve now reached a stable point, so I decided to share it with you to get your thoughts.
**Disclaimer: this is absolutely not financial advice.**
**How did I assign the scores?**
For each stock, I extracted 40 fundamental metrics and grouped them into 5 pillars: Past, Future, Value, Health and Sentiment.
To give you few example (not exhaustive):
* **Past**: past sales and eps growth,...
* **Future**: future sales and eps growth, target prices,...
* **Value**: p/e, fp/e, p/b, p/s, p/fcf,...
* **Health**: current ratio, quick ratio, debt/equity, margins,...
* **Sentiment**: insider and institutional ownership + transactions, short ratio,...
The final score is simply the arithmetic average of these pillars, so for a stock to make it into the top 10, it must excel in all 5 at the same time.
To assign the scores for the 5 pillars, I used a statistical approach: how much does each stock deviate (positively or negatively) from the median of its industry or sector for each of the 40 metrics?
By answering this question, you can understand how “rare” a stock is within its sector or industry. Using this statistical approach, I believe I was able to filter out potential value traps.
I included every country and every market cap to avoid introducing any bias.
That said, I’d love to hear your opinion on these 10 stocks.
