What It Finds
Companies with PE under 15, growing profits at 15%+ over 3 years, and ROE above 12%.
Why It Works
When earnings growth exceeds the PE multiple, the stock is mechanically getting cheaper each year. These situations are temporary — the market eventually re-rates.

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.
