AlphaGBM Buffett Analysis
The 4 lenses Buffett himself says he applies, computed from yfinance fundamentals and returned as a single-number verdict plus reasoning for each lens.
The 4 Lenses
- Business (20% weight) — circle of competence. Simple sectors (consumer staples, utilities, industrials) score high. Complex sectors (tech, healthcare, financials) score lower unless mega-cap like AAPL.
- Moat (30% weight) — durable advantage. Gross margin > 40%, ROE > 20%, profit margin > 15%, and market cap > $100B each contribute to the moat score.
- Management (15% weight) — capital allocation proxy via dividend continuity
- payout ratio (15-60% is ideal balance) + 5yr avg div yield.
- Valuation (35% weight) — fair price check. PE < 15 → +20, PEG < 1 → +15, FCF yield > 10Y treasury + 2pp → +20. PE > 40 or PEG > 2.5 → deductions.
Overall Verdict
- ≥ 75 → HOLDABLE (color green) — meets Buffett standards, long-term hold
- 55-74 → WATCHABLE (color amber) — wait for better price or clearer evidence
- < 55 → AVOID (color red) — fails Buffett's standards
Why This Is a Separate Skill
The generic alphagbm-stock-analysis runs a G=B+M style/momentum score. Buffett's
framework is different — it weights moat + valuation much more heavily than
momentum, and penalizes complex businesses regardless of growth. This skill
codifies Buffett's rules, not AlphaGBM's house rules.
