How the radar works
Every week we scan the whole S&P 500 with two independent value engines distilled from the primary sources of Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch. Each engine scores business quality from 0 to 100 and separately measures the price against what the method asks for. Most weeks the approved list is short — that is the method, not a bug.
Educational analysis, not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell. A verdict here only reflects whether a company fits each method today. Do your own due diligence.
