How we got this number
Each model asks a different question about XYZ's value. Tap any one to see the exact math — every number comes from a real SEC filing.
2 of 3 models say overvalued. The Earnings-Based DCF gives a more favorable view because projected earnings growth leads to a higher value than simpler models capture.
Has XYZ ever been cheap? (price vs fair value)
Fair value vs actual stock price over the last ~2.5 years. The shaded area is the "hope premium" — what buyers pay above fundamentals, betting on future growth.
The short answer: no. Block Inc - Class A has stayed above its formula-based fair value the whole time shown. This is common for fast-growing firms — the market prices in future earnings these backward-looking models can't capture. It doesn't mean a crash is coming, but buyers are paying for expectations, not today's fundamentals.

About the Fair Value Calculator
This tool estimates intrinsic value using three independent models: the Graham Number (earnings × book value), a PEG-Adjusted fair P/E approach, and an Earnings-Based DCF that projects future earnings. All three are averaged for a composite fair value with upside or downside versus market price.
Using multiple models matters — one formula never tells the full story. When all three point in the same direction, the signal gains weight.
How It Works
Graham Number: sqrt(22.5 × EPS × Book Value) — a conservative upper bound based on earnings and net asset value.
PEG-Adjusted: Computes a fair P/E by matching the growth rate (PEG benchmark of 1.0), then applies that to current earnings.
Earnings-Based DCF: Projects future earnings, prices them using the sector median P/E, then discounts back to today.
The composite averages all three equally. Model fitness ratings tell you which results to trust most for this stock.
Is Block Inc - Class A Fairly Priced?
ExampleThree valuation methods were applied to Block Inc - Class A (XYZ) using live SEC filing data. Each one asks a different question — and they don't always agree.
Graham Number — Benjamin Graham's formula: sqrt(22.5 × EPS × Book Value). For XYZ with EPS of $2.10 and book value of $37.06, the Graham Number lands at $$41.85. This model was designed for asset-heavy firms — it often sets a low floor for asset-light companies.
PEG Ratio — Peter Lynch's insight: a stock's P/E should match its growth rate. XYZ grows earnings at 20.0% per year, so a fair P/E of 20.0x gives a PEG-adjusted fair value of $$42.00. The market P/E of 54.3x is higher than what growth justifies.
Earnings-Based DCF — Projects earnings 5 years forward at 20.0%, prices the future stock using the Technology sector median P/E of 28x (not XYZ's own inflated multiple), then discounts back at 8%. Result: $$99.58.
| Model | Fair Value | vs. Market Price ($73.17) |
|---|---|---|
| Graham Number | $41.85 | 75% above |
| PEG-Adjusted | $42.00 | 74% above |
| Earnings-Based DCF | $99.58 | 27% below |
Two of three models agree on direction. Earnings-Based DCF disagrees — projected earnings growth leads to a higher value than simpler models capture. This is common and doesn't invalidate the signal — check the model fitness ratings above to see which results fit XYZ best.
Frequently asked questions
The Fair Value Calculator runs three separate models on every S&P 500 stock. The Graham Number uses earnings and book value to find a safe price floor. The PEG Ratio checks if the P/E ratio matches earnings growth. The Earnings-Based DCF projects future earnings and brings them back to today's value. We average all three for a combined fair value, and show how much they agree.
