Foundation of the Approach
The SSG serves as BetterInvesting’s primary stock analysis tool, helping investors organize historical financial data to assess a company’s growth potential and valuation. It enables plotting of future growth based on past trends, while offering guidance on reasonable pricing based on price-to-earnings (P/E) and historical price data. -
Purpose
It empowers individual investors—both new and experienced—to determine whether a company fits the profile of a quality growth stock and whether it’s priced reasonably.
