Graham's 7 Criteria

Defensive Investor Checklist

4/6 — Enterprising Investor

✅

Adequate Size

Graham required companies large enough to withstand economic downturns. This threshold ($1.5B) is inflation-adjusted from Graham's original $100M — virtually all S&P 500 companies pass this today.

$28.5B

vs > $1.5B revenue

✅

Earnings Stability

Graham required uninterrupted positive earnings. Any loss year is a red flag for defensive investors. Growth companies and cyclicals may show occasional losses during investment cycles or downturns without being fundamentally unsound.

No loss years (4 yrs data)

vs No negative EPS years

✅

Dividend Record

Graham valued dividends as evidence of financial discipline and shareholder alignment. Many excellent modern businesses (Alphabet, Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway) pay no dividend, preferring to reinvest cash at high rates of return. Failing this criterion does not indicate a poor business — it may indicate a high-growth one.

3.56%

vs Uninterrupted dividends

❌

Earnings Growth

EPS grew from $3.69 to $4.62 over 3 years. Graham's 33% threshold was set over a 10-year period. Measured over fewer years (as here), the bar is proportionally lower. Share buybacks can also inflate EPS growth without reflecting underlying business improvement.

+25.2% EPS growth

vs > 33% EPS growth

✅

Moderate P/E Ratio

Graham's 15x P/E threshold was calibrated to 1960s market averages when interest rates were higher. Today's lower rate environment structurally supports higher multiples — the S&P 500 long-run average P/E is now closer to 20–25x. A stock trading at 20x is not automatically speculative in the modern context.

12.2x

vs P/E ≤ 15.0x

❌

Moderate Price-to-Book

Graham's 1.5x P/B threshold made sense when most company value was tangible. Today, intangible assets — brand, software, patents, network effects — rarely appear on the balance sheet. A high P/B in tech, pharma, or consumer brands often reflects intangible value, not overvaluation. P/FCF or EV/EBITDA are more reliable for asset-light businesses.

1.55x P/B (P/E×P/B: 18.9)

vs P/B ≤ 1.5x | P/E × P/B ≤ 22.5

These metrics estimate what U.S. Bancorp is worth based on fundamentals — independent of what the market prices it at. Graham's Fair Value and NCAV are conservative floors. EPV assumes zero growth. These are reference points, not price targets.
