Cheap Stocks Ranking Algorithm


Is a stock trading at a penny "cheaper" than a stock trading at $100? While the penny stock may trade at a lower per-share price, the true answer to the question comes down to a comparison of valuation. Because suppose the penny stock has a history of negative earnings, whereas the $100 stock has been consistently earning $50/share? All of a sudden the $100 stock sure looks cheap, doesn't it!?

The reality is that there are many ways to compare stocks in ways that illuminate whether stock A is cheaper than stock B. And the stock market is chock full of people performing those comparisons every day, in their own chosen ways. Given such a competitive playing field, how is this website, CheapStocksChannel, to stand out? We aim to do so with data, and with a thoughtful ranking algorithm comparing stock prices against underlying per-share earnings.

Here's the scoop on what our algorithm looks at.

First and foremost, we look at the all-important historical earnings of a company. And we then compare that history against the historical stock price information to discern historical average PE multiples for the stock. With that history in hand to compare to, we then consider the stock's present / most-recent earnings information.

For one, there's the most recent quarterly EPS number. Weighing one single quarter has to be done thoughtfully, because on the one hand, a stellar single quarter could be a sign of great things to come for a company... but on the other hand, many companies have a degree of "seasonality" to their earnings reports. So to take the most recent quarter (MRQ) earnings number and annualize it, can provide an interesting denominator for a price/earnings calculation.

But another approach is to consider a company's trailing twelve months (TTM) earnings total — i.e. instead of annualizing just the most recent quarter, why not look back over the last four quarters and total up those earnings? Using that earnings value in a price-to-earnings calculation arguably provides an important look at what a given company was actually able to earn over a year-long period.

And then because earnings reports can often include "lumpy" or one-time write-ups and write-downs, we also take a third approach: we look at the reports over the past four earnings quarters for a company, "toss out" the highest, "toss out" the lowest, and then take the average of the remaining two "middle ground" earnings numbers over the trailing four periods. The result? This exercise finds the median of the trailing twelve month period: the line at which the company has reported earnings higher than the line 50% of the time, and also has reported earnings lower than the line 50% of the time. We then annualize that median number, for use in yet another PE Ratio calculation.

Armed with these various ways to calculate a price/earnings multiple, and knowing the stock's historical average multiples, we can then perform a rank across our coverage universe — but we add in some additional criteria too. For one, we consider each company's size, as measured by its market cap history. If stock A and stock B are hypothetically equal on a PE ranking basis, but A has a $500 million market cap while B has a $5 million market cap, we consider the larger company to be a better value — because smaller companies are inherently more risky and unpredictable.

Finally, for dividend paying stocks, we make some additional calculations. Knowing the various earnings numbers that we calculated for each company — MRQ annualized, TTM EPS, and median TTM earnings annualized — we are able to compare that earnings level against the level of the dividend. In essence, the dividend payout ratio. This allows for a more complete look at the dividend yield... Because suppose you have two stocks each trading at the same 5% yield, where company A is paying dividends at the rate of $1/share and earning $2/share, while company B is also paying dividends at the rate of $1/share but earning just .80. We want our ranking algorithm to consider the 5% yielder with the low payout ratio (company A) to be superior to the 5% yielder under-earning their dividend (company B).

So there you have it: that's the scoop on our ranking algorithm and what it looks at. After ranking our entire coverage universe, we then apply additional screening criteria — such as looking sector-by-sector — to bring you dozens of different "cheap stock lists" to explore.

Notes: when examining past earnings history for a stock, negative earnings are considered not meaningful towards a price to earnings calculation and such results are discarded in the analysis; similarly, a resulting PE ratio based off of a very small earnings number that produces an exorbitantly high PE number above a threshold (we use 500), is also discarded as not meaningful. Also note: the earnings data we receive can be a variety of net income, adjusted EPS, and even FFO in the case of real estate investment trusts, so in order to see additional details for the specific earnings history our algorithm used, please click through on the earnings history chart for that stock to reach the details. Finally: while all of our data partners make their best efforts, there is no guarantee that the information we utilize for this site will be free of errors; indeed, all information should be checked with other sources before acting, and any information presented here should be considered strictly for informational purposes to generate research ideas, and nothing you read here is investment advice nor is it a recommendation to buy or sell any particular security.
