Great, you make it easy to follow and easy to understand. Thanks.

[@rrad3926]

Pretty easy formula to see the results. P/E-Dividend and compare that to expected growth. < Growth undervalued and >Growth overvalued. Never saw his formulation before. Thank you for giving me something else to consider.

[@juansteverlynck702]

Your channel is great, adding this method of valuation to your next valuation videos would be really cool! All the best of luck and thank you for your awsome content!

[@Dividendology]

Thank you so much!

[@Skilliard]

This does seem a bit dated. If you go by Peter Lynch's belief that corporate earnings grow 8% per year, the S&P500 would be valued at (8 + 2) / 20 = 0.5 = Very overvalued. Peter Lynch has always encouraged people to buy stocks as well, so in a market where everything is (comparatively) overvalued, finding stocks above 2 or 3 would be exceedingly difficult.

[@brainchilddesigner]

Very concise. Thank you for the help

[@esteemedfustilarian]

Just an FYI for other investors, a lot of places will look at the formula in an inverse way-Price to earnings divided by growth+dividend yield. In such cases, a result of less than 1 may be undervalued and over 1 could be overvalued. You should always make sure you understand what the formula is *telling you* and do you own research.

[@Dividendology]

absolutely.

whats the principle/basis behind the formula? Can this be traced back to fundamental DCF?

[@rimonchoudhury672]

Excellent channel - wanted to make a excel template using Peter Lynch Formula

[@leverage2279]

When you looked at the dividend yield for AT&T, it says "forward" dividend and yield. What does "forward" stand for? Does it mean it is the expectation for the future dividend yield? And also the "future" earnings per share growth.. Why is it that every factor that must be taken into account is about the future? Isn't it dangerous to make projections about the future? Isn't the past decade performance of the company a more reliable (but not perfect) indicator of how it may perform?

Hi! Thank you for this video, is easy to follow and super interesting :) Could you please advice if these formulas work in excel too? I tried to calculate DCF in excel and it gets crazy once free cash flow is negative (example: 2020 -147$, 2021: 1010$, growth for 2021: -785%) is there a walkaround for this or should i just give up and use google sheet instead xd?

what if there is no dividend yield?

[@julensanchez6807]

Wait, but, what if the company has no dividend yield?

[@Dividendology]

Just add 0!

[@spinchange]

Also known as the PEGY ratio which was a twist on the PEG ratio. (Price Earnings Growth ratio or Price Earnings Growth + Yield ratio)

[@Dividendology]

Correct!

[@Mykhailo-uc3zc]

Price earnings growth means Net income growth or EPS or something else? I'm really confused about this price earnings growth

[@spinchange]

@@Mykhailo-uc3zc in the context of this ratio it is describing relationship between market pe ratio / (estimated future eps growth rate + dividend yield). If market p/e is 15 and analysts expect eps to grow at 12% + dividend yield is 3% the PEGY is 1 (15/(12+3)). PEG would be 15/12 or 1.25 (pe is 125% of expected eps growth rate)

[@spinchange]

@Михаил I just realize that I've switched numerators & denominators vs how Dividendology shows it in their video. Same idea. Hope that didn't over complicate it.

[@Mykhailo-uc3zc]

@@spinchange Yes, thanks, your example made this formula more clear. But Lynch rates companies in six categories using annual earnings growth. For example, a fast-growing company should ideally grow by 20-25% per year, stalwarts about 10% per year. Does he also use Eps growth in this context? But in this case, not the future Eps, but the percentage increase of Eps between 2021 and 2022, for example

[@jongreenwood3029]

Expectations of future growth does a lot of heavy lifting in this model

[@heyitsgabriel1]

What do i do if it says N/A on dividend yield?

[@therankmaster9279]

But he said in the book you want a pe of 15 or more that means EPS would need to be at least 22.5 with no dividends. That doesn’t add up?

[@rimonchoudhury672]

Hi what's google finance formula for dividend yield and eps growth ? so I can look up without looking up each time

[@Dividendology]

[@tulsatom4307]

I’m wondering, after watching you show how the P/E Ratio can be pulled from Yahoo by using the Google Sheets Formula . . . If the Dividend Yield and the Future EPS Growth can ALSO be pulled by using Formulas?

[@Dividendology]

I have a few videos on webscraping, so the answer is yes! You can pull those in. I sometimes intentionally don’t automatically web scrape some elements. That was users can make projections based on different assumptions. (Ex: projecting different growth rates)

[@gianfrancoventurelli8389]

In what situations can you use this method? Because it's clear that it can't be applied for tech stock which normaly have very high P/E so they would always be overvalued..? Is the method outdated or some conditions applies? Thanks,

Compare to the sector average or median.

Is sorry. I'm confused how YOU EVER figure the true intrinsic value of any stock. When you're using so many different calculation models that generate so may different results. It doesn't make sense. Please help me figure out how you're coming to a true buy price for anything? Thanks and I love your videos!

[@Dividendology]

Great question. Each valuation model is obviously different. They value a company different ways, whether it be based off EPS, free cash flow, dividends, and using comparables. The problem is that no valuation model accounts for every aspect of the business. For example DCF is a great model, but doesn't take into account how the market is valuing similar companies. And the Dividend discount model is great, but doesn't take into account current market conditions like Grahams valuation. So while Im a fan of each of these valuation models, no valuation model is perfect, which is why I use multiple to account for every aspect of the business and market conditions. Using multiple valuation methods also allows me to reduce the risk of errors in calculations. For example, if my growth rate projection for the dividend discount model is off, that would eba. big problem if it was the only valuation model I used. But because I use multiple valuations, the significance of that error is slightly reduced. Also important to apply a margin of safety! Hope that helps some!

[@michaelvonhaven105]

why are there s9 amny ways to value a stock?

[@vidya014]

Addition directly is wrong.

[@louisgro4121]

I do not get why i shold add the Dividend, because it is part of the Earnings. So if a company has an earning growth of 10% and pays 0% dividend it is a worse company compared to a company with 10% earning growth and 5% Dividend?!

[@vidya014]

You are Right. Just forget about the dividend.

[@uygarbaksi]

with this formula, MSFT seems like quite overvalued. then why it has been in the top 10 corporations list in the us stock markets for more than 20 years? i am not an expert so maybe I don't understand sufficiently. as a result I am not convinced with the main idea of the formula and this video.
