Value Investing
Liptáková, Lenka ; Pošta, Vít (advisor) ; Pivoňka, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with value investing in the form defined by Benjamin Graham. In clarifying the theoretical aspects, particular attention is given to an intrinsic value of stocks and to its calculation methods. A way to overcome the deficiencies in the two most widely used models of calculation is introduced. It is value screening, which by defining of certain criteria makes an assumption of undervalued stocks. Then the investment approach of the most successful investor, Warren Buffett, is described. The practical part is devoted to assessment of the current (May 2014) market situation from the value investor's point of view. Using the free stock screener, the list of companies with selected characteristics is generated. Subsequent analysis of individual companies leads to conclusion, that all considered companies are too risky to be characterized as appropriate for value investing.
