Data-Driven Rankings
S&P 500 stocks ranked by margin of safety. We combine DCF, Graham Number, and EPV models to estimate intrinsic value, then rank by the gap between price and fair value. Updated weekly using the latest public financial data.

Instead of relying on a single valuation method, we average three independent models to reduce the bias inherent in any one approach. Each model captures a different dimension of value: cash flow generation, asset-based safety, and normalized earning power.
When a model produces an invalid result (e.g., negative EPS makes the Graham Number impossible), it is excluded and the average is computed from the remaining valid models.
Our simplified DCF model uses the Gordon Growth formula: FCF per share × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (discount rate − growth rate). This estimates what the stock is worth based on projected future free cash flows discounted back to present value.
Developed by Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, this formula is √(22.5 × EPS × Book Value). It sets a ceiling price for a defensive investor, combining profitability with asset backing. Only valid when both EPS and book value are positive.
EPV divides trailing EPS by a discount rate to estimate what the stock is worth assuming zero growth — a conservative baseline. Combined with DCF (which assumes growth), the average balances optimism and caution. Learn more in our intrinsic value calculator.
Our ranking identifies S&P 500 stocks trading below their calculated intrinsic value using a composite of three valuation models. Stocks with the highest margin of safety rank highest. Check the table above for the latest data-driven rankings.
We average three independent valuation models: simplified DCF, Graham Number, and Earnings Power Value. The composite gives a more balanced estimate than any single method. Margin of safety is the percentage difference between intrinsic value and current market price.
Not investment advice. Rankings are based on automated valuation models using public financial data from Yahoo Finance. Intrinsic value estimates are inherently uncertain and depend on model assumptions (discount rate, growth rate). Always do your own research before making investment decisions.
