What It Finds
Companies with PE under 12, positive ROE, at least 8% revenue growth, and very low debt.
Why It Works
PE below 12 with positive growth and low debt is genuinely cheap by historical Indian market standards. Often in out-of-favour sectors or under-followed by analysts.

About Value Investing
Value investing is buying more than you pay for — finding genuinely good businesses temporarily trading at a discount to their intrinsic worth. In Indian markets, where retail speculation frequently inflates popular stocks, real value quietly compounds in neglected corners of the market.
The core metrics: Price-to-Earnings (PE) below 10–15 for quality businesses with growing profits signals underpricing. But low PE alone is not value — it can be a trap. A stock is cheap for a reason: slowing growth, management issues, cyclical peak earnings, or structural industry decline. The screens here add quality filters (ROE above 15%, low debt, positive profit growth) to separate genuine value from value traps.
