About this tool

Buffett, Graham, and Dividend-based valuation models all assume a mature, cash-generative company. A high-growth, pre-profit company — typical of SaaS, biotech, or EV manufacturers — fails those frameworks by construction, regardless of how good the underlying business is.

Growth Stock Evaluator scores companies against growth-appropriate criteria (Rule of 40, revenue growth, gross margin, cash runway, margin trajectory, dilution) and values them with two independent models built for negative or thin cash flow: a multi-stage DCF that ramps operating margin to a target over time, and an EV/Sales multiple approach.

Frequently asked questions

Why do Buffett/Graham-style scores fail growth companies?

Traditional value-investing frameworks assume positive earnings, a low P/E, and often a dividend. A pre-profit growth company fails all of those by construction regardless of how good the underlying business is — this tool uses different, growth-appropriate criteria instead.

What is the Rule of 40?

Revenue growth % plus free cash flow margin % — if the total is 40 or higher, the company's growth is considered to justify its cash burn. It is a widely used SaaS/software health check, not a KashVector invention.

How is the EV/Sales target multiple chosen?

It is pre-filled from a sector-median starting point that you can edit freely — it is reference data, not a recommendation, and KashVector does not suggest what multiple your target company deserves.
