Valuengine Inc

ValuEngine Inc (VE) is a stock valuation and forecasting service founded by Ivy League finance academics. VE utilizes the most advanced quantitative techniques and analysis available. The research team continues to develop, test, and improve the VE Stock Valuation Models and econometric models for forecasting stock price movement. In recent years, VE has expanded its research program to include portfolio construction and tracking products. Primary products are the ValuEngine.com website for individual investors and ValuEngine Institutional (VEI), a software package for equity fund managers and other financial professionals. The executive team includes Paul Henneman - President,CEO; Dr. Zhiwu Chen- Founder; Dr. Chiayu Chang – Founder; Dr. Yongjian Zhan - V.P. of Research and Development; Eric Stokes - Senior Editor; and Don Mitchell - Chairman, Advisory Board.

The company was founded in 1995, Transformed into ValuEngine in 1999, and Restructured in early 2001 to include both retail and institutional product lines. The company claims that it has proven models for performance, timeliness, and broad coverage of over 4,500 stocks. Its backend is robust and automated to facilitate speedy development and implementation. The company owns industry leading databases, research, and back testing processes. Probably the only research house that has an Ivy League affiliation.

ValuEngine employs many proprietary models, which were adapted from most innovative concepts in financial theory generated from academia and Wall Street practice. Each of the ValuEngine models represents the state-of-the-art in valuation, forecasting and advisory technologies. The model variables include three fundamental input variables: past one year EPS, expected one year forward EPS, and 30-year bond yield. Eleven parameters include 8 firm-specific parameters and 3 interest rate parameters.

The ValuEngine Stock Valuation Model was derived from recent research and findings of both ivy-league academics and wallstreet professionals. ValuEngine's model is more sophisticated than traditional valuation models and outperforms its peers by employing a three-factor approach to stock valuation. These fundamental variables such as a company's trailing 12-month Earnings-Per-Share (EPS), the analyst consensus estimate of the company's forecasted 12-month EPS, and the 30 year Treasury yield are all combined and used to create a more accurate reflection of a company's fair value. Armed with these framework features, the ValuEngine Stock Valuation Model then paints a detailed picture of a company's fair value, which is represented by ValuEngine's "model price."
