Value, with the
math visible.

TrendingWire separates Benjamin Graham’s published formulas from your custom workbook model, then adds asset-value screens, a user-defined margin of safety and market momentum without mixing the methodologies.

Methodology

Three lenses.
Never blended silently.

The audited build keeps the book’s published formulas, your workbook modifications, and modern technical analysis in separate modules so a user always knows what they are looking at.

01 · BOOK

Classic Graham

Normal earnings multiplied by 8.5 plus twice expected growth. Expected growth is explicitly a forward assumption, not automatically a historical average.

V = Normal EPS × (8.5 + 2g)
02 · CUSTOM

Workbook Model

Your spreadsheet’s average EPS, average YoY growth and 50% growth haircut are preserved as a separate TrendingWire model instead of being attributed to Graham.

TW Value = Avg EPS × (8.5 + 50% × Avg YoY Growth)
03 · BOOK + TECH

Assets & momentum

NCAV and the Graham screens are book-based. RSI and moving averages remain a separate technical layer.

NCAV = Current Assets − Total Liabilities

What was corrected from the workbook build

ItemAudited formula / ruleStatus
Growth-stock valueNormal EPS × (8.5 + 2g)Book formula. g is expected annual growth for the next 7–10 years.
Past growthCompare average EPS of latest 3 years with corresponding 3-year average 10 years earlierBook method; TrendingWire also annualizes it as a historical proxy.
50% growth haircutAvg YoY growth × 50%Custom workbook assumption; not presented as Graham.
NCAV(Current assets − Total liabilities) ÷ sharesCorrected. Workbook was using current liabilities in its NCA block.
NCAV bargain thresholdPrice ≤ ⅔ × NCAV/shareBook practice; kept outside the NCAV calculation itself.
Defensive liquidityCurrent assets ≥ 2 × current liabilitiesBook rule for industrial companies.
Enterprising liquidityCurrent assets ≥ 1.5 × current liabilitiesBook rule for industrial companies.
NAV/share(Total assets − Total liabilities) ÷ sharesUnit mismatch corrected.
NTA/share(Assets − liabilities − goodwill − intangibles) ÷ sharesUses tangible net assets rather than mixing crore/share units.
Margin of safetyUser target = selected value × (1 − user MOS%)User-controlled app tool. Book defines the principle, not one mandatory percentage.
Bargain %(Value − Price) ÷ PriceRetained as workbook comparison; shown separately from MOS% of value.
