Hidden Gem Score™

Small companies. Strong fundamentals.
Market not paying attention.


How it works

Decades of wisdom.
Scanned daily.
In your inbox by 5 PM.

Every trading day after market close
Research begins
We pull the latest fundamentals — earnings, cash flow, debt, insider ownership, buyback activity — and run every number through our 12-point criteria.
12 criteria. No exceptions.
The framework applied
Low debt. Active buybacks. Insider ownership. Durable moat. Price below intrinsic value. Only stocks that pass every test make the list — no two from the same industry.
In your inbox by 5 PM ET
You get the full write-up
Every qualifying stock gets a full report: the bull case, the bear case, the Hidden Gem Score, the Buffett Score, and the one risk to watch. Plain language, no jargon.

The knowledge base

Every great investor left a playbook.
We run them all, every day.

Benjamin Graham · The Intelligent Investor
"The margin of safety is the central concept of investment."
Applied: every stock must trade below our intrinsic value estimate before it makes the list.
Warren Buffett · Berkshire Annual Letters
"A wonderful company at a fair price beats a fair company at a wonderful price."
Applied: our Buffett Score rates moat quality, management, predictability, and capital allocation.
Peter Lynch · One Up On Wall Street
"The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game."
Applied: our Hidden Gems list targets small and mid-caps most institutions never bother to analyse.
Charlie Munger · Poor Charlie's Almanack
"Invert, always invert."
Applied: every report includes a bear case — we argue the opposite before we make the case for value.
Seth Klarman · Margin of Safety
"Value investing is the marriage of a contrarian streak and a calculator."
Applied: we look hardest at hated sectors where fear has created opportunity most analysts avoid.
Joel Greenblatt · The Little Book That Beats the Market
"Figure out the value of something and then pay a lot less."
Applied: return on capital and earnings yield are the two primary lenses in our scoring model.
Philip Fisher · Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits
"The best time to sell a stock is almost never."
Applied: we screen for businesses that can compound for a decade, not just outperform next quarter.
Mohnish Pabrai · The Dhandho Investor
"Heads I win, tails I don't lose much."
Applied: our Buy Zone alert fires only when risk/reward is genuinely asymmetric in the investor's favour.
