Whystock Valuation Model
Sector + growth-aware fair-multiple estimate. Fair P/E = sector-anchor + (ROE × 25) + (max(revenue growth, earnings growth) × 30), capped at 1.6× sector. Fair Value = (Current Price ÷ Trailing P/E) × Fair P/E. The sector anchor (Tech ≈ 28, Comm Services ≈ 24, Utilities ≈ 18, Financials ≈ 14, etc.) keeps quality compounders from being mechanically penalized against utility multiples. Result is a normalised multiple gauge — not a price target.
