Benjamin Graham
Defensive value screen
Rules-based Verdykt interpretation of published principles. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Benjamin Graham or related estates.
Screen thesis
A conservative checklist: adequate size, a strong balance sheet, an unbroken earnings and dividend record, and a hard ceiling on price relative to earnings and book value. It is built to exclude fragile or expensive companies rather than to maximize upside.
Rulebook
Every rule is visible. Required rules must pass; scoring and guardrail rules shape or caution the result.
Verdykt Playbooks are rules-based interpretations of public investing principles. Screens are not affiliated with or endorsed by the named investors or firms, and nothing here is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell securities.
