What is value investing?

Value investing is a strategy of buying stocks for less than their intrinsic value. The goal is to buy with a margin of safety and hold quality businesses long term.

How do you find undervalued stocks?

Estimate intrinsic value (e.g., DCF or earnings power), compare it to the current price, and look for a positive margin of safety. Then confirm fundamentals like profitability and manageable debt.

Value Investing: buy businesses below intrinsic value

Value investing is a disciplined approach: estimate what a business is worth, then buy only when the market offers a discount. The discount is your margin of safety.

1) Intrinsic value

Intrinsic value is an estimate of what the business is worth based on cash generation and risk, not short-term price movements.

A margin of safety is the buffer between value and price. Bigger buffers can reduce risk if your estimate is wrong.
