Understanding GF Value

The GF Value is a proprietary measure that represents the intrinsic value of a stock. It is calculated based on three factors:

  1. Historical multiples (PE Ratio, PS Ratio, PB Ratio, and Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow) at which the stock has traded.

  2. GuruFocus adjustment factor based on the company's past returns and growth.

  3. Future estimates of the business performance.

The GF Value Line on our summary page provides an overview of the fair value at which the stock should ideally be traded. If the stock price is significantly above the GF Value Line, it is overvalued and its future return is likely to be poor.
