CONTEXT:

StarMine's Intrinsic Valuation model ranks stocks based on whether a company's current stock price is out of kilter with its most likely growth trajectory over the next 15 years (with steady growth assumed after that) based on historical models and after adjusting for analysts' systematic biases, which are usually shown in over-optimistic forecasts.

StarMine's Value-Momentum score rates companies based on a combination of two valuation and two momentum metrics. (Reporting by Rajesh Chandnani; Editing by Saumyadeb Chakrabarty)
