In order to invest for value successfully and avoid participating in short-term market booms and busts, determining the value of companies is essential. To determine value, investors use fundamental analysis.

There are five factors that are included in determining the capitalization factor, which are long-term growth prospects, quality of management, financial strength and capital structure, dividend record, and current dividend rate. To understand these factors, value investors look at a company's financials, such as annual reports, cash flow statements and EBITDA, and company executives’s forecasts and performance. This information is all available online as it is required for each public company by the SEC.

because value investing strategies believe the market overreacts to price changes in the short term, without taking into account a company’s fundamentals for long-term growth.

The thing that I have been emphasizing in my own work for the last few years has been the group approach.
