My gosh you're the greatest investing teacher of all!!! Why did I just come across your videos!!?? Those KZbinrs out there only give general guidance on how to invest in stocks but you're the only one I found by far who actually gets into the meat of how to value companies. I've just started out on this investing journey. I took intro to accounting and finance class but yet I'm still wondering what ratios I should use to value stocks. You've laid it all out very nicely. Thanks a lot! I already subscribed to your channel. You've just got yourself a new subscriber from Thailand :)

Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.

[@raychristopher7797]

I think it's not always about fear, Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value

[@jesbensommichael8397]

@@raychristopher7797 This is the problem! Most times people with little or no knowledge of the stock market try investing by themselves. It once happened to me, then I learned my lesson and contacted a US-based finance consultant by name MARTHA ALONSO HARA and everything changed. I started enjoying huge returns from my investment.

Very informative! One thing to note that the first two tries to calculate the "intrinsic value" of a business, i.e what the business is really worth, but multiples don't get you that, it is a tool to compare two companies

[@razvan62]

Thanks!

[@user-wb6gh5tg6w]

I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.

[@red149]

Jimmy, these are all good valuation methods when you have a sound currency . In an environment where Fed magically pulls 3T$ out of the hat we don’t have a reference. It becomes a moving target !

[@paulocruz676]

First of all, congratulations. You have amazing videos and you explain it very well. Even for me who is a beginner in investments and don't speak English as mother language. Due to that, I'd like to kindly ask you to keep subtitles like your previous videos. And one question: asset models valuation is based on deep value investing from Benjamin Graham? I couldn't get that one very well...I'd like to confirm.

[@Squintillions]

Paulo Cruz - you should be able to turn subtitles on in the settings. If you watch a video soon after it is posted, sometimes the subtitles are not available yet. They are there now.

[@javierjp8549]

[@jorgesa4244]

Hi Jimmy, for the valuation using multiples, you pick a multiple (ev/ebitda or p/e or another) but you multiply that multiple by which number? How do you choose that number?

[@alexanderpike1641]

Hey Jimmy, do you think a Dividend Discount Model valuation would be good for a company like AT&T? Or for a company with a high payout ratio (besides REITs)? Great video as always!

[@operationcenterbravo]

I love the metric PEG ratio.

[@Smart_Investing]

My channel is dedicated to evaluating stocks using P/E ratios and other financial data. I use free cash flow instead of DCF. I didnt think you could use DCF as fair value ...nice video!

[@trenholmelodge1820]

Major problem is where do you obtain the info for the DCF data in the future.

[@CrypticTranscendence]

Hi Jimmy, love your videos. Couple of questions as someone who is new to finance: 1. What do you mean when you say that the FCF in financial companies are skewed relative to other companies, and how does said skewed FCF throw off the DCF method? 2. Why wouldn't the DCF method work for non-blue chip companies that aren't financial companies?

[@investor9482]

For question 2, I would assume it’s because non-blue chip companies are mainly growth companies and usually either don’t have positive free cash flow or a very hard to calculate FCF. They have less analysts and thus less future FCF estimates and a higher likelihood of the estimates being far off from what really happens. Basically, they are a completely different type of equity class to value.

[@skywalker2840]

What is the best way to value energy stocks and utility stocks?

[@MX4551]

Very good video! Which Method would be most appropriate to value Health Care stocks for e.g. AbbVie, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb,... Thanks (Community)!

[@jabrealsouthjersey]

It would be really helpful if while you was explaining how to value a stock that you used a company (like you did with how to read an income statement and used Nike as the example company) while you was teaching the different ways to do that.

Jimmy you are the best . Would you be able to analyse the fair value for Thermofisher Scientific (TMO). my calculation come with a value that is much much lower than what they are currently trading on. I would like to have your view on this

[@r4riaz]

Great content. But theoretical. It would really help to understand each method by evaluating a stock, without which it is just like book reading. Hope this will help for your future videos.

[@naderjavanmardi7868]

Seriously do you think that Tesla stock buyers at this price levels watch/know valuation methods? Good job Jimmy.

[@Dimitris_1987]

I was researching Tesla for months back in 2019. I understood their leading abilities, their business model, their scale capabilities etc, but I couldn't be able to value them as they were unprofitable back then. Then Jimmy posts a video and discusses about the EV/EBITDA metric of Tesla. It was 20 at 200$. It was the click for me to buy. I got in at 219$, sold three weeks ago at 1398$. I'm super bullish on Tesla as a company, I understand where they can go and what they can do, but the current price is not justified by logic. I keep it in my radar and I will definitely buy if it drops below 600.

[@investor9482]

This comment caught me off guard 😂

[@investor9482]

Dimitris honestly I was way off on Tesla. I thought the fair value would be around 700 within the next 3 years. But then again I wasn’t factoring in the “story”, short squeeze, retail “investors” (speculators) etc. Just a cold cut view on fundamentals and potential

[@Dimitris_1987]

@@investor9482 Totally agree. I was saying some days: "These bloody bastards will make me sell!" And they did eventually. It was a good lesson learnt by the market about short squeezes, retail investors, bubbles etc.Back then when I entered everyone was saying the opposite, that the company will go bust. Every kid behind a laptop buys fractional shares of Tesla right now, when even kids start buying shares you have to sell.

[@phyzix_phyzix]

How do you properly value an insurance company? Wouldn't the liability of underwriting be present in the FCF if the company has been around for a long time (10+ years)?

[@LearntoInvest]

Something like price to book value tends to work very well for insurance companies

[@CapitalWorksPro]

Jimmy, please make a video explaining Warren Buffett's "equity bond" concept.
