Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
FINANCIAL TIMES
"A must-read for all disciples of value investing. In 1934, Graham and Dodd created fundamental security analysis. Greenwald reinforces the worth of this approach, incorporates new advances, and takes their work into the twenty-first century."
Mario J. Gabelli, Chairman, Gabelli Asset Management, Inc.
"The new title most deserving of your time is Value Investing . . . . Its authors aim to place their work next to Benjamin Grahams 1950 classic, The Intelligent Investor. My 1986 edition came with Warren Buffetts endorsementby far the best book on investing ever written. Value Investing is better."
Robert Barker, BusinessWeek
"Greenwald is an economist (PhD from MIT) who caught the value bug. He has updated and expanded Grahams ideas, and his summer seminars ($2,900 for two days) have become popular with everyone from well-known money managers to Columbia MBAs who couldnt get into Greenwalds class. But now there is a cheaper way . . . Greenwald probably wont outsell Graham, but I think he ought to."
Paul Sturm, SmartMoney magazine
"Greenwalds book is a lively defense of, and handbook for, value investing, complete with glimpses of how its practiced by pros like Warren Buffett and Mario Gabelli."
George Mannes, TheStreet.com
"Essential reading for anyone looking for a fresh perspective on analyzing companies and selecting investments."

Using the approach popularized by Ben Graham this book describes the theoretical approach and then walks through two detailed examples of how to apply the notion of enterprise value to WD-40 and Intel. With detailed analysis of financials from both companies the book demonstrates how to understand financial structures that help predict and quantify a company's competitive advantage.
I've read a lot of value investing books that talk about competitive advantage, but this is the first book I've found that attempts to demonstrate directly from the balance sheet how to calculate the economics of that competitive advantage.
I still want to apply everything I've read here to a dozen companies and see how well the analysis works in the real world, but the theoretical framework appears to offer a very easy way to determine who really has a franchise and then place a fair value on that advantage and establish a fair price for the stock.
The substance of this book is a process for modern value investing: value investing is not investing in lousy companies just because they appear cheap. The authors also teach a structured way to value a company. Finally, the authors address how to value growth.
First, before reading this book I had the mistaken impression that value investing was all about investing in the ugliest, least interesting company you could find just because it had a low P/E ratio. I was completely wrong! (Maybe I have attended too many stock pitch sessions and heard too many poultry stocks and encyclopedia companies get pitched.) Modern value investing, according the authors: "When B. Graham went scouring financial statements looking for his net-nets, it did not concern him that he may have known little about the industry in which he found his targets. All he was concerned with were asset values and a margin of safety by that measure. A contemporary value investor had better be able to identify and understand the sources of a company's franchise and the nature of its competitive advantages. Otherwise he or she is just another punter, taking a flier rather than making an investment." What a breath of fresh air to read this passage.
Second, this book lays out a structured way to value a company by first looking at reproduction costs of assets, then earnings power, and finally the value of profitable growth. I, like the authors, find traditional DCF valuations to be plagued by false precision. The authors' more practical method starts by adjusting the balance GAAP balance sheet to calculate the cost of the assets for a potential business entrant. Next, the company is valued based on the earnings generates consistently, assuming no growth. A key insight is the value of the franchise: the difference between asset value and Earnings Power Value is the value created by a company that has significant competitive advantage. Last, the value of profitable growth is considered.
As a self-admitted recovering growth stock addict, I learned from this book that value investors are skeptical about growth for two reasons. One reason is that it is so hard to predict, but more important, many times growth is not worth much. Unless the return on capital (ROC) of the company is higher than the cost of capital, growth does not create value. (I am a slow learner; Greenblatt's example in The Little Book That Beats the Market of opening an additional gum store is even clearer to me.) The growth matrix and formulas in the book were a revelation to me. The surprising thing is how little multiple expansion a stock deserves based on growth. Unless a company truly has a franchise, expanding into other areas and "diversifying" the business often destroys value. And growth for growth's sake will not make a stock go up.
This book brings value investing into the modern stock market. Modern value investors still use traditional valuation principles in a structured way, but they also consider the value of growth and the attractiveness of the business. What a relief, I not restricted to buying typewriter and pay phone stocks! The authors quote Warren Buffett: It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
Listen...it's October 2023...
cash is king

😆 🤣 😂 😹
In times when most Value Investing books seem to be obsessed with coming up with the optimal ratios to screen thousand of stocks, I think it is valuable to find a book that does not take shortcuts. There’s a huge difference between buying a stock at a discount from its intrinsic value and building a portfolio based on a statistically optimized ranking of stocks.
The second part of the book is a bonus track where they present the story and approach of the most successful Value investors -Buffett included.
Enjoy!
