Dr. Charlie Tian, the founder of GuruFocus.com, went live today to discuss new features of the website and answered questions from users.
The founder started the livestream with a recap of marketvaluations, including the S&P 500 GF Value, Nasdaq 100 GF Value, Buffett Indicator and Shiller price-earnings ratio.
Tian also illustrated that users can also customize their homepage dashboard by removing the unwanted widgets and replacing them with the desired widgets. The customizable widgets include general market data, user portfolio data and economic indicator data.
Tian then discussed that even though market valuations are higher than they were 15 years ago, GuruFocus users can still find opportunities using features such as the Manual of Stocks feature and the All-in-one Screener.
Using CACI International Inc. (CACI, Financial) as an example, the founder then discussed the proprietary GuruFocus Score metric, which focuses on five key factors: financial strength, profitability, GF Value, growth and momentum. Tian also mentioned that he prefers companies with high profitability, high financial strength and good revenue and net income growth.
Tian then walked through an example screener that focus on small-cap companies (stocks with market cap of between $100 million and $1 billion) that have a GF Score of at least 90 out of 100.
The screener returned 27 stocks, including Transcat Inc (TRNS, Financial) and Magic Software Enterprises Ltd (MGIC, Financial). Tian then showed the Combined Charts feature of the Screener, which allows users to view the GF Score, GF Value, and revenue and net income trends.
Tian then showed other stocks, including Nike Inc. (NKE, Financial), Green Brick Partners Inc. (GRBK, Financial), Propel Holdings (TSX:PRL, Financial) and Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ, Financial).
The founder also showed that users can run screeners using the GuruAI feature: For example, GuruAI can retrieve a list of high-dividend-yield stocks. He also showed the new AI Support feature, which answers questions based on previous chat history. Users can also seek human support directly online or through the one-on-one tutorial sessions.
Tian concluded the livestream with discussions about the Good Companies and High Quality screeners, value screeners that he created for his Invest Like a Guru book.
