Title: MediCorp: Dr. Sharma Avoids Overpaying, Finds Value Using Graham's Principles Tagline: Dr. Anya Sharma Discovers a Potentially Undervalued Healthcare Gem Using the Graham Number, Saving $12,000 on Overpriced Stock Problem: Dr. Anya Sharma, a 35-year-old physician, is diligently paying off her $280,000 student loan debt while also maxing out her retirement accounts. She wants to invest in individual stocks to potentially accelerate her wealth building but is concerned about overpaying for hyped-up stocks. She's been researching healthcare companies and is interested in "MediCorp," a company with a strong history of profitability, but she's unsure if the current market price reflects its intrinsic value. She knows MediCorp's Earnings Per Share (EPS) is $6 and its Book Value Per Share (BVPS) is $80. The current market price is $110, and she's worried it's inflated. Without a solid valuation method, Anya risks buying high and derailing her financial goals. Solution: Using the Graham Number Calculator, Dr. Sharma inputs MediCorp's EPS of $6 and BVPS of $80. The calculator outputs a Graham Number of $21.91. This reveals that the current market price of $110 is significantly higher than the Graham Number, indicating the stock is potentially overvalued based on Graham's conservative valuation approach. Anya decides to pass on MediCorp at its current price, saving her from a potentially poor investment. She continues her research to find other undervalued companies. She also uses the Times Interest Earned Ratio calculator to assess the financial health of other companies she is interested in, and to compare them with MediCorp’s TIE ratio. ROI: By avoiding purchasing MediCorp at $110 per share and instead waiting for a more opportune time or identifying a truly undervalued stock, Dr. Sharma avoids a potential 50% loss should the stock correct to a more realistic valuation. For example, if she allocated $24,000 to MediCorp shares, she would risk a $12,000 loss if the price fell to its Graham Number valuation. The Graham Number Calculation saved her $12,000 by helping her avoid an overvalued stock. Description: Uncover potentially undervalued stocks with Benjamin Graham's timeless investing principles.
