I am new-ish to investing and I am constructing a dividend-growth portfolio which has a couple of tech corporations (for extra progress) in there as effectively, and I need to purchase extra of the identical shares I already personal which can be beneath or near “honest worth”. The most typical evaluation I got here throughout to discover a inventory’s intrinsic worth is both by means of Monetary Metrics (such because the PE Ratio), or Discounted Money Circulation evaluation.

After working my corporations by means of these assessments utilizing a spreadsheet I created which compares my outcomes to the present value, I see vastly totally different outcomes than I anticipated, and so they appear to recommend that there’s TONS extra draw back stress coming, if my outcomes are correct:

Stocks

For instance, I am getting $68-171 honest worth for MSFT when the present value is $241. Oreven $120-305 for COST. There isn’t any approach that is potential!

So, am I doing one thing improper? Am I not understanding use these metrics as a result of from what I can see, solely SalesForce (CRM) appears like clear purchase proper now, which goes towards each macro-economic bone in my physique.

What’s going on right here? Any assistance is appreciated!
