Deep Value 50
v150 Graham-style bargain stocks: cheap, profitable, covered, not distressed. The unloved corner of the market where patient capital buys fear.
Browse in screenerHow we built this list
Hard gates
- Market cap ≥ $5B — real businesses only
- Positive TTM earnings — Graham's first rule
- P/E between 5 and 18 — below 5 signals distress, above 18 isn't value
- Price within 35% of 52-week high — not a falling knife
- Not in a blocked category (Chinese ADRs, miners, distressed biotech)
Ranking score (100 pts)
- Cheapness (30) — earnings yield (inverse P/E)
- Size & Stability (15) — not too speculative
- Shareholder Return (15) — dividend discipline
- Payout Coverage (15) — earnings cover the dividend
- Stability (15) — lower beta (defensive)
- Quality check (10) — analyst sentiment filter
Refresh cadence: Rebuilds on the 1st Monday of each month.
How it differs from Buffett Quality: Buffett buys great businesses at fair prices. Graham bought average businesses at bargain prices. Overlap exists (a great business at a bargain is gold), but Deep Value will include unloved cyclicals and utilities that Buffett's moat-first lens passes on.
Value traps: the hardest problem in value investing is separating “cheap because boring” from “cheap because broken.” Our guardrails catch most — but do your homework on anything trading at < 8x earnings.
