What is the Fair Value of VZ?

Stocks Marked 'Very Cheap' by Grufity's Fair Value Model Have Outperformed S&P 500 Index

Grufity's Fair Value model takes all the S&P 500 stocks and divides them into separate buckets based on their attractiveness. The 'Very Cheap' bucket of S&P 500 has greatly outperformed S&P 500 Index. Conversely, S&P500 stocks considered 'Very Expensive' by the model underperformed the S&P500 index in the past three years. Grufity Fair Value is available for 2300+ stocks, including 90% of S&P 500 stocks. Grufity's Fair Value Model separates high-return stocks from low-return stocks.

or
Expensive?


Returns of $10,000 invested in:

Very Cheap Stocks: $17,289
S&P 500 Index: $12,922
Very Expensive Stocks: $11,022
