Overview
Going Beyond Accounting Ratios and Corporate Financial Statements - HOLT recognizes corporate financial statements can be misleading. Companies typically employ highly subjective accounting methods which distort the true profitability of the firm and make traditional accounting ratios suspect. The HOLT methodology corrects subjectivity by converting income statement and balance sheet information into a CFROI return, a measure that more closely approximates a company's underlying economics.
CFROI is an objectively-based return measure that can be viewed to assess the firm's historical ability to create or destroy wealth over time. CFROI is comparable across industries and geographies due to the framework's inflation adjustments and ability to adjust for regional accounting standards.
HOLT platform users can quickly assess whether the market is fairly pricing in a company's prospects for value creation. Essentially, users can decide if the market is optimistic or pessimistic about a company's prospects based on future returns implied by the stock price. Users can compare HOLT's warranted valuation, as well as their own assumptions about the company, to the expectations of the market and gauge whether the stock is overvalued or undervalued.
