How it works
Three steps, and you can check all three.
No analyst forecasts, no black box, no AI — just arithmetic anyone could check with a calculator and the filings open. Here it is on Apple, run exactly as it runs on the other 135.
-
Read the filing
Straight from Apple's accounts, one number: the cash left over after the business has paid for its own upkeep and growth. In FY25: $99B.
-
Do the arithmetic
Carry that number forward 10 years on one published growth assumption — the same for every company, never tuned to flatter a name — and count each future year for less than the one before it, 9% a year less, because money later is worth less than money now. Add net cash, divide by the shares on file. It comes out at $127 a share.
-
Read the answer
Put that beside the price — $320, taken 2026-09-04 — and say which is bigger, in a sentence rather than a score. Nothing here tells you what to do with the answer.
A wonderful business — priced for growth it hasn't delivered.
Fresh, not live. Filings are checked every night and prices are refreshed weekly — every read states the date of the price it used. A business is worth what it is worth whether or not its ticker is moving. How fresh is this? →
Find your lens
Which of these is how you already think?
Five questions, no jargon and no right answers. At the end you get one of four lenses — and the same company read through the one that fits you.
- Value What is it worth against what it costs
- Moat Can anyone take this business away
- Growth How fast, and does it reach the owner
- Income Does it pay, and can it keep paying
