The NASDAQ 100 has experienced a remarkable decade-long run, delivering impressive returns for investors across this extended period. However, beneath the surface of this broad index performance lies a more nuanced reality: individual companies continue to offer fundamental value despite the index’s overall appreciation.
While market commentators sometimes characterize entire indices as overpriced after such extended growth periods, this oversimplified view fails to acknowledge that individual constituents within the NASDAQ 100 continue to present compelling investment cases when evaluated through sophisticated analytical frameworks – particularly following market adjustments.
Examining the NASDAQ 100 through Validea’s comprehensive multi-factor screening methodology offers valuable insights. This robust evaluation system assesses companies across 22 distinct investment strategies derived from two key sources:
- The proven methodologies of investing legends, including Warren Buffett’s emphasis on enduring competitive advantages and consistent earnings power, and Peter Lynch’s focus on understanding growth trajectories relative to valuations.
- Insights from academic research identifying persistent market anomalies and value-creating factors.
By applying this multidimensional analytical framework to the NASDAQ 100 components, Validea helps identify businesses maintaining strong fundamental characteristics despite market volatility.
