Importance of the Industry Analysis?

WikiWealth's industry analysis evaluates the major industry characteristics that affect investments within that industry. Company specific factors drive the performance of individual companies, but macro-economic industry factors can affect the performance of entire groups of stocks. For example, government regulation of the financial services industry affects every financial service company in different, but related ways. It is important to understand the large scale issues that affect an industry before examining the affects on every individual company.

Warren Buffett Quote: "When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact."

No matter the quality of your business, industry economics is an important factor in any investment decision.

This is the interactive wiki-based valuation report, based on the Warren Buffett Intrinsic Value Calculation. This method was developed exclusively by WikiWealth to mimic the valuation approach used by Warren Buffett, arguably the greatest investor of all time. The Buffett formula and calculation is a simplified version of the discounted cash flow approach, which discounts future expected cash flows to find the appropriate value of a company. It also mimics a series of test Buffett uses to determine the stability of company results.

Importance?

This method is unique and experimental, but extensive testing on over 3,200 companies confirms the results to be surprisingly accurate and consistent with more advanced approaches. If the greatest investor of all time can consistently beat the stock market, then his methods are worth your attention. WikiWealth is the first and only company to utilize this approach to investing. Wikiwealth has a range of skills and experience create valuation models for unique needs. See our professional services for more information.
