Our approach

Capopedia estimates what a business is worth, not where its stock might trade next month. Every company is valued by multiple independent methods: long-horizon projections of its cash generation and earnings, its own historical valuation norms, and growth-adjusted fair multiples. We publish the median, so no single method, and no single assumption, can dominate the answer.

Growth assumptions come from analyst consensus and the company’s own demonstrated record, with conservative caps and a long glide toward economy-like growth. Discount rates reflect prevailing government-bond yields plus a market-based equity premium, adjusted for each company’s risk. The framework is deliberately conservative: it will look cautious on the market’s favourites, and that is by design.

Every number on the site, financials, ratios, intrinsic values, comes from a mechanical pipeline reading SEC filings and market data, never from AI. Narrative sections are AI-assisted research drafts generated from cited public sources, refreshed on a documented schedule, and reviewed through automated integrity checks. When a method lacks the data to compute honestly, it abstains and says why; when a company’s data doesn’t meet our reliability standards, we withhold the headline value rather than guess.

Quality pillars rank each company against its sector peers across our full coverage universe, every score is a relative rank, not an opinion. The data-confidence grade tells you how complete and consistent a company’s underlying data is, so you always know how much weight the numbers can bear.

Assumptions, constants, and methods are reviewed on a regular cycle, and every figure on the site carries its own date.
