Ben Graham’s Net-net Screen seeks to identify stocks that are trading at less than 66% of net current asset value. On the other hand, the Undervalued-Predictable and Buffett-Munger Screeners look for stocks that meet Berkshire’s key criteria, which include predictable revenue and earnings growth and low valuations based on either the discounted cash flow model or the price-earnings-to-growth ratio.
