OVERVALUED AND OVERBOUGHT STOCKS?
MANY OF THESE ARE AT RISK OF SELL-OFF!

The table below contains stocks that are deemed risky according to their present pricing, fundamentals, and overall market conditions. These are, in many ways, opposites of the intrinsically valuable stocks found on the oversold stocks page on this website. Looking at the data, you will see stocks that have run their course as bargains and are now priced thirty percent or more above their fundamental valuations. They have become quite expensive; present shareholders may begin profit taking at any time. These stocks may also be good candidates for short selling.

A second category of stocks found in this screen are "slightly overvalued but worth holding." These are stocks of companies that are popular among investors and lower than average in risk. Though the valuations indicate a ten to twenty percent overpriced condition, there is a difficult to quantify "safety premium" for the companies these stocks represent. They are steady earners, well managed, and not likely to experience sharp declines. In fact, these companies may continue a slow gain in price during bullish market conditions. Do not expect great price gains with these, but they are low risk and fine for long term holding. They may even pay good dividends.

A valuation formula has been applied to stocks shown in the table below, which looks at company debt, equity, price, earnings growth, profit margin, and market sentiment. Reasonable prices are given, and the potential losses are large for certain stocks.

Always carry out proper research before buying or selling a stock. This online valuation calculator is only a tool for finding potentially profitable trades, and should be augmented with other information and sound reasoning.
