CEO David Trainer recently joined James Early, CEO of Curia Financial, to discuss why footnotes matter more than most investors realize, how we calculate Core Earnings, a measure proven to beat the market, and how we leverage our reverse discounted cash flow (DCF) model to quantify the expectations baked into stock prices.
Additional topics from the discussion include:
- Why Core Earnings are a proven superior measure of earnings.
- Why a tiny percentage of stocks drive most wealth creation.
- How gains and charges hidden in financial filings have a material impact on the true profits of a business.
- Why data quality matters more than ever amidst the rise in AI use.
- A reverse DCF case study on the expectations baked into NVIDIA’s stock price.
