Value investing research · US equities

Most people research the wrong company at the wrong time.

A fixed five-part value-investing teardown of any US ticker, built on primary SEC filings — plus an honest verdict on whether the business is worth your time at all.

STEP 01

Pick a ticker

Start from the free library, or request any US ticker.

STEP 02

Read the verdict

Business model, moat, risks, valuation — the same five sections every time, so reports are comparable.

STEP 03

Decide if it deserves your time

Every report ends with a verdict and a monitoring framework. No price targets, no position sizing.


The library

Full reports, free to read. Every figure traces back to an SEC filing, with the financial period and the valuation date labelled separately so you always know what you are looking at.

FIGR

Figure Technology Solutions

Consumer Finance Worth monitoring

The business model, growth, and profit quality are real — HELOC origination is #1 among non-bank platforms — but the price already discounts much of it.

$36.21 Range $26–$32
RDDT

Reddit, Inc.

Internet Content & Information Worth monitoring

A real business with a real moat and real growth, but at $154.46 the price already discounts most of the growth case — a good business at a fair price with no meaningful margin of safety.

$154.46 Range $140–$190
SPOT

Spotify Technology

Communication Services Worth monitoring

Spotify owns global audio streaming and the model now prints real cash, but 34x EV/EBITDA leaves no meaningful margin of safety at the current $542.

$542 Range $480–$580
UMAC

Unusual Machines, Inc.

Aerospace & Defense Pass for now

Real revenue and a real policy tailwind, but at ~$23 the price already discounts the 2027 base case in full, with no margin of safety.

~$23 Range $18–$28
VST

Vistra Corp

Electric Utilities Worth monitoring

One of the most fundamentally solid beneficiaries of the AI power cycle, but the current price already discounts the grand narrative — a good company at a price that is not cheap.

~$154 Range $115–$140

Not every stock deserves a deep dive

The 60-second filter is free. It is the screening pass every full report starts from — and on its own it tells you whether a ticker is worth an afternoon.

  • Business archetype: high-margin / low-turnover, low-margin / high-turnover, or leverage-driven?
  • Supply-demand structure and the resulting competitive intensity
  • Which of the five moat types applies — and does it show up in the financials?
  • Return on equity, duration of advantage, and net-asset expansion rate
  • What the current price already assumes
