Buffett's Stock Picking Framework
- Seek stocks with a forward P/E of 15 or less, high earnings confidence, and growth potential.
- Ensure 90% confidence in higher earnings in 5 years and 50% confidence in 7% annual earnings growth.
Focus on Owner Earnings
- Buffett doesn't rely on Wall Street earnings; he uses owner earnings.
- Owner earnings consider cash flow, depreciation, and capital expenditures, providing a truer picture of value.
The Power of Low P/E Ratios
- Buffett prefers low P/E ratios for long-term compounding and reduced risk.
- Low P/E stocks offer higher earnings yields, less downside, and potential for multiple expansion.
