5 Steps to Screen for Undervalued Stocks in Real-Time
Wall Street hedge funds have supercomputers and armies of analysts. You have an internet connection and your brain. Believe it or not, that's enough—if you know where to look.
Most retail investors lose money because they chase "hype." They buy what's popular on Twitter. To make money, you need to find what isn't popular yet.
Here is a 5-step checklist to find undervalued stocks using Stockie.
Step 1: Filter by Sector
Stocks usually move in herds. If tech is down, almost all tech is down. Look for the "hated" sector of the month. Is Energy down 20%? That's where the bargains usually are.
Step 2: The "Revenue Check"
A stock price might be down, but is the business dying?
Look at the Revenue Curve on the Stockie dashboard.
- Price down + Revenue down: Stay away. That's a dying business.
- Price down + Revenue UP: This is a divergence. The market is irrational, and this is a potential buy.
Step 3: Check the Debt-to-Equity Ratio
Cheap stocks often have a dirty secret: Debt.
If a company has a Debt-to-Equity ratio over 2.0, they are heavily leveraged. In a high-interest rate environment, that debt can crush them. Look for companies with low debt (under 1.0) that have been unfairly sold off.
Step 4: Insider Buying
Did the CEO just buy shares with their own money? That is the single strongest signal in the market. Insiders sell for many reasons (taxes, buying a house), but they only buy for one reason: They think the stock is going up.
Step 5: Visualizing the Data
Don't just look at a spreadsheet. Use our interactive SVG graphs to layer the stock price over the revenue. When you see a massive gap open up between price and performance, you've found your target.
