Compass concept
Valuation attractiveness
Whether the price you'd pay is reasonable versus what the business is worth.
Definition
Valuation attractiveness compares the current price to a conservative estimate of the company's long-term earning power. An attractive valuation leaves a margin of safety between price and worth.
Why it matters
Even a wonderful business can be a poor investment if you overpay. Buying below a conservative estimate of value is what turns quality into returns.
Watch-outs
A low multiple isn't automatically cheap, and a high one isn't automatically expensive, value depends on the durability and growth of the earnings behind it.
