How Value Investors Use the Graham Number in 2026

In this episode of The Value Investing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how the classic Graham Number works as a quick valuation screen in today's market. With the S&P 500 at 7,431 and the Russell 2000 up over 3% in the past week, they test the formula on a real stock — Bank of America, trading around $56 — and discuss why a 50-year-old metric still helps investors avoid overpaying. They walk through the calculation: earnings per share times book value per share, square root, times 22.5. They also look at when the Graham Number falls short, especially for intangible-heavy businesses. If you've ever wondered whether Benjamin Graham's toolkit still applies in a market dominated by software and AI, this episode gives you a concrete, numbers-driven answer. #ValueInvesting #BenjaminGraham #GrahamNumber #IntelligentInvestor #BankOfAmerica #BAC #StockValuation #EarningsPerShare #BookValue #S&P500 #Russell2000 #ValueScreen #DeepValue #EquityAnalysis #Finance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
