	~~==Formula calculation==~~
	~~In ''The Intelligent Investor'', Benjamin Graham describes a formula~~ he ~~used to value stocks~~. He disregarded complicated calculations and kept his formula simple. In his words: "Our study of the various methods has led us to suggest a foreshortened and quite simple formula for the evaluation of growth stocks, which is ~~intended to produce figures fairly close to those resulting from the more refined mathematical calculations~~."

	~~The formula as described by Graham in the 1962 edition of ''[[Security Analysis (book)\|Security Analysis]]'',~~ is ~~as follows:~~

	~~:<math>V* = EPS \times (8~~.~~5 + 2g) </math>~~

	~~V = Intrinsic Value<BR>~~
	~~EPS = Trailing Twelve Months Earnings Per Share<BR>~~
	~~8.5 = P/E base for a no-growth company<BR>~~
	~~g = reasonably expected 7 to 10 year growth rate~~

	~~Where the expected annual [[economic growth\|growth rate]] "should be that expected over the next seven to ten years." Graham’s formula took no account of prevailing [[interest rate]]s.~~

	~~===Revised formula ===~~
	~~He revised his formula~~ in ~~1974 (Benjamin Graham, "The Decade 1965-1974: Its significance for Financial Analysts," The Renaissance of Value) as follows:~~

	~~Graham suggested a straight forward practical tool for evaluating a stock~~'~~s intrinsic value~~. ~~His model represents a down-to-earth valuation approach that focuses on the key market-related and company-specific variables.~~

	~~The Graham formula proposes to calculate a company’s intrinsic value V* as:~~

	:<~~math~~>~~V* = \cfrac{EPS \times (8.5 + 2g) \times 4.4}{Y}</math>~~

	~~V: Intrinsic Value<BR>~~
	~~EPS: the company’s last 12-month earnings per share~~<BR>
	~~8.5: the constant represents the appropriate P-E ratio for a no-growth company as proposed~~ by ~~Graham<BR>~~
	g: ~~the company’s long-term (five years) earnings growth estimate<BR>~~
	~~4.4: the average yield of high-grade~~ [~~[corporate bond]]s in 1962, when this model was introduced <ref>see [http~~://www.~~bloomberg~~.~~com/markets/rates-bonds/corporate-bonds/ FINRA/Bloomberg Investment Grade U.S. Corporate Bond Index], [[bloomberg.com]] for current average.</ref><BR>~~
	~~Y: the current yield on AAA corporate bonds~~

	~~==Application==~~
	~~To apply this approach to a buy-sell decision, each company’s relative Graham value (RGV) can be determined by dividing the stock’s intrinsic value V* by its current price P:~~

	~~:<math>RGV = \cfrac{V*}{P} </math>~~

	~~An RGV of less than one indicates an overvalued stock and should not be bought, while an RGV of greater than one indicates an undervalued stock and should be bought.~~

On one hand, it is efficient because of its simplicity but on the other, it is limited by its simplicity because the model does not work well for every stock.

	*Net Current Asset Value in order to determine the financial viability of the firm in question

	*[[Debt to assets ratio\|Debt to equity ratio]]
