HOLT’s proprietary methodology corrects subjectivity in corporate financial statements by converting income statement and balance sheet information into a CFROI return, a measure that more closely approximates a company's underlying economics.

The resulting objective returns help you judge a company’s historical ability to create wealth and assess if the market is fairly pricing its prospects for value creation.

HOLT Disclaimer

The HOLT methodology does not assign ratings or a target price to a security. It is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and warranted value calculations, collectively called the HOLT valuation model, that are consistently applied to all the companies included in its database. The HOLT valuation model is a discounted cash flow model. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default variables and incorporated into the algorithms available in the HOLT valuation model. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. These adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders.

The default scenario that is produced by the HOLT valuation model establishes a warranted price that represents the expected mean value for a security based upon empirically derived fade algorithms that forecast a firms future return on capital and growth rates over an extended period of time. As the third-party data are updated, the warranted price updates automatically. A company’s future achieved return on capital or growth rate may differ from HOLT default forecast. Additional information about the HOLT methodology is available upon request.

Individual companies can be scored on a global-size and/or region-size relative basis. The HBRD is also translated into five textual assessments (e.g. “Highest” or “Lowest”) based on their quintile percentile rank.
