Plain-English answers.
What is an Altman Z-Score and why does it matter?
The Altman Z-Score is a financial formula that predicts the probability of a company going bankrupt within 2 years. A score below 1.8 signals distress, 1.8–3.0 is a gray zone, and above 3.0 indicates financial health. We calculate it from the company's latest SEC filings so you can spot trouble early.
How do you calculate intrinsic value?
We use a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model based on 10 years of historical free cash flow data from SEC EDGAR. We project future cash flows using the company's historical growth rate, then discount them back at a weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The result is our estimate of what the stock is actually worth — independent of market sentiment.
Is FairValueLabs free to use?
Yes, completely free. All our data comes from SEC EDGAR public filings and open financial APIs. We believe fundamental analysis should be accessible to every investor, not locked behind expensive terminal subscriptions.
What does "margin of safety" mean?
Margin of safety is the gap between a stock's intrinsic value (what it's worth) and its market price (what it costs). A positive margin means the stock trades below fair value — a potential bargain. A negative margin means it trades above fair value — you're paying a premium. Value investors typically look for at least a 25% margin of safety.
How often is the data updated?
Financial statements are updated after each quarterly SEC filing (10-Q) and annual filing (10-K). Stock prices are refreshed daily. Our automated pipeline checks SEC EDGAR for new filings and recalculates all metrics when fresh data is available.
