Why Graham Number stocks matter

The Graham Number is a classic valuation measure that combines earnings per share and book value per share into a simple estimate of fair value. Investors use it to look for stocks that may be trading below a conservative intrinsic value threshold, especially in more traditional value-oriented setups.

Methodology

We start with Canadian-listed stocks and apply a Graham Number-style value screen. First, we use basic liquidity filters to exclude very small and illiquid stocks. From there, we focus on companies with positive earnings, a reasonable financial profile, and a share price below the Graham Number, which helps identify stocks trading at a discount to a traditional fair value estimate based on earnings and book value.
