Lesson two. Let's look up a stock together and read the result. I'll use Apple, but take any company you know.
Type the name or the ticker into the search box. The suggestions show the company and its stock exchange. Pick the one you mean, and the analysis opens.
At the top: price, fair value, the gap in percent, and the quality score. The bar underneath shows where the price sits between the green and the red end.
The overview box translates the numbers into plain language: growth, profit margin, cash flow, dividend, debt, and how the company compares with its peers. Green is good, amber means take a closer look, red is a warning.
The tabs take you deeper: Fair Value, Quality, Growth and Peers. We'll go through each of them in the next lessons.
One rule from the start: a fair value is a model estimate, not a prediction and not a recommendation. Use it to ask better questions about a company, not to replace them. Now try it with a stock you own.
