Value Investing Building a Simplified Graham Value Stock ScreenerI did a search and could not for the life of me find a link to a prebuilt Google screener for Graham’s value investing system. So lets quickly build one:

Through the Graham series we said we would only consider companies that:

  1. Had a P/E of less than or equal to 15.
  2. A book value of greater than or equal to 0.01.
  3. A price to book value of less than or equal to 1.5.
  4. A current ratio of more than or equal to 2.
  5. Earnings Per Share Growth rate on average of greater than or equal to 33% over 10 years.

Graham didn’t believe in investing in the next hot company, he was about buying companies with history and tangible revenues; companies where the paint on the sign out front is dry- basically boring companies. Graham also wanted a company that had proved that it understood its business and was on a path to continued success.
