✏️ Revised Benjamin Graham Equation

The original formula was revised by Graham in 1974 to compare equity earnings potential with AA/AAA corporate bond yields.

Formula:
V = [ EPS × (8.5 + 2g) × 4.4 ] / Y

  • 8.5 is the assumed P/E multiple for a zero-growth stock.
  • 2g is the growth multiplier (expected growth rate × 2).
  • 4.4 was the average yield of AAA corporate bonds in 1962.
  • Y is the AAA yield rate today, which adjusts the target multiple relative to interest rates.

Benjamin Graham's Margin of Safety

Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, emphasized never buying a stock without a Margin of Safety. By applying a 20% to 30% discount to calculated intrinsic values, you protect your capital from valuation mistakes and unexpected market downturns.
