Ben Graham Lost Formula

This screener is based on an article titled, Benjamin Graham\'s Lost Magic Formula in 1976. Prior to his death, the renowned investor developed a refined formula that screened for companies based on these criteria:
PE Ratio of 7 to 10 or less (Based on 2 times current AAA bond rates)*
Equity/Asset Ratio of 0.5 or more (e.g., Debt/Equity >1)
The formula got its name from the fact that he was unable to publish it before his passing; therefore, it was lost from public knowledge for a time. A backtest of the strategy from 1926 to 1976 showed it would have outperformed the Dow benchmark by approximately twice as much.

Contrarian investors might use this as a bullish signal because if everyone is selling, the stock might be viewed as undervalued.
