INSTITUTIONAL DEPTH, INDIVIDUAL SIMPLICITY
One Platform. 120 Indicators.
Zero Black Boxes.
Screen 100,000+ stocks across 73 global exchanges. Run Piotroski, Altman, and Beneish checks on any company. Calculate intrinsic value with inputs you can see and edit.
Seven capabilities that set ValueMarkers apart
120 Financial Indicators
Every metric that matters - pre-computed and scored
Piotroski F-Score, Altman Z-Score, Beneish M-Score, Graham Number, PEG ratio, ROIC-WACC spread, and 114 more. Organized across 5 pillars (Value, Quality, Integrity, Growth, Risk) and 9 categories. Free plan includes 30 core indicators; paid plans unlock all 120.
Key capabilities
- Cross-stock percentile ranking: every metric scored against all 100,000 stocks
- Organized into 9 categories: Valuation, Profitability, Health, Growth, Cash Flow, Efficiency, Shareholder, Quality, Risk
- isFree flags let you see exactly which indicators are available on each plan
- Tooltips explain each metric and when it's most useful
Why competitors fall short
GuruFocus offers ~80 indicators but lacks cross-stock percentile ranking. TIKR and Seeking Alpha focus on ~30-40 standard ratios.
Glass-Box DCF Calculator
Every input visible, editable, and documented
Calculate intrinsic value with 4 different models (DCF, Graham Number, earnings-based, asset-based). Adjust growth rates, discount rates, and terminal values. See exactly how each assumption changes fair value. No black boxes.
Key capabilities
- Bear / base / bull case scenarios with one click
- Sensitivity table: see how ±1% in growth or discount rate shifts intrinsic value
- Labeled output: Undervalued, Fairly Valued, or Overvalued with exact margin of safety %
- Compare intrinsic value to current market price side-by-side
- 30 years of historical inputs to inform your assumptions
Why competitors fall short
Alpha Spread offers a fixed DCF model you can't edit. GuruFocus shows output only. No competitor provides editable bear/base/bull scenarios with sensitivity analysis.
AI-Powered Stock Analysis
Institutional-quality narratives for any stock
Claude AI generates comprehensive analysis: competitive moat assessment, risk factors, growth catalysts, bear/bull thesis, and actionable insights. Ask follow-up questions. Get answers in plain English backed by the actual financial data on the page.
Key capabilities
- Powered by Claude - not GPT wrappers or generic summaries
- Grounded in actual financial data: the AI sees the same 120 indicators you do
- Natural language screener: describe your thesis and get matching stocks
- Professional plan: unlimited AI analyses per day
- Analyst plan: 5 AI analyses per day
Why competitors fall short
Seeking Alpha uses crowd-sourced opinions. TIKR has no AI. GuruFocus offers no AI-powered analysis. ValueMarkers is the only platform with AI grounded in 120 quantitative indicators.
Quality Triple Check
Catch value traps before they catch you
Three academic scoring frameworks in one unified view - available on all plans, including Free. No competitor shows all three together.
Key capabilities
- Piotroski F-Score (0-9): earnings quality, leverage improvement, operating efficiency. Score ≥ 7 = strong.
- Altman Z-Score: bankruptcy risk prediction. Above 3.0 = safe. Below 1.8 = distress.
- Beneish M-Score: earnings manipulation detection. Below -1.78 = unlikely manipulator.
- Hard floor: if Beneish M-Score > -1.78, our system automatically caps the Safety score at 30.
- Color-coded cards with plain-English interpretation on every stock page.
Why competitors fall short
GuruFocus shows Piotroski only. Alpha Spread, TIKR, and Seeking Alpha show none of these three frameworks.
Natural Language Screener
Type your thesis. Get real results.
Describe what you're looking for in plain English - "cheap profitable small caps with strong balance sheets" - and the AI translates it into precise financial filters. Results you can immediately analyze, save, or export.
Key capabilities
- AI parses your investment thesis into structured AND/OR filter groups
- Works across all 120 indicators and 73 exchanges
- Combine with manual filters for hybrid searches
- Save AI-generated screens and rerun them daily
- Available on Analyst and Professional plans
Why competitors fall short
No major competitor offers AI-powered natural language stock screening. The closest is GuruFocus' manual screener, which requires knowing exact metric names.
30-Year Financial History
Analyze full business cycles, not just recent quarters
Income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow data going back 30 years. See how a company performed through the 2001 dot-com crash, 2008 financial crisis, COVID-19, and every cycle in between.
Key capabilities
- Free plan: 3 years of history - enough for recent trend analysis
- Analyst plan: 10 years - covers a full business cycle
- Professional plan: 30 years - multiple economic regimes
- Valuation history: 30-year P/E overlay with 12 major market events
- Dividend history: see payout consistency through recessions
Why competitors fall short
TIKR and Seeking Alpha cap at 10 years. Alpha Spread offers even less. Only GuruFocus matches 30-year depth, and they charge $499/yr vs. our $588/yr with far more features included.
Guru Portfolio Tracking
See what legendary investors are buying - and why
Track every major investor's 13-F filings: Buffett, Ackman, Dalio, Burry, Einhorn, and dozens more. See position sizes, new buys, sells, and portfolio concentration. Professional plan adds AI-generated thesis explanations for each position.
Key capabilities
- Quarterly 13-F data updated within days of SEC filing
- Position-level detail: shares, value, % of portfolio, change vs. prior quarter
- AI interpretation (Professional): 120-word thesis behind each position
- Insider trading tracker: see when executives buy or sell their own stock
- Institutional holder analysis: who's accumulating, who's trimming
Why competitors fall short
GuruFocus and TIKR show 13-F data but without AI interpretation. No competitor explains the investment thesis behind each guru position.
