Common Issues & FAQ
Q: What is a good value score? A: Above 70 indicates good value. 80+ suggests potential deep value. However, very high scores may indicate value traps - check quality score too.
Q: Why do growth stocks have low value scores? A: Growth stocks typically trade at premium valuations (high P/E, P/S), resulting in low value scores. This doesn't mean they're bad investments.
Q: How often does this update? A: The score updates as underlying valuations change - typically daily.
