GuruFocus’ Excel Add-In includes a Peter Lynch chart template

Legendary Fidelity Magellan Fund manager Peter Lynch discussed in his book, “One Up on Wall Street,” a simple method to measure a stock’s relative valuation based on the price-earnings ratio. If a stock trades below 15 times earnings per share, the stock is undervalued based on Lynch’s criterion.

GuruFocus’ new Excel Add-In comes with several predefined templates, including a Peter Lynch Chart template that allows users to chart a company’s price line and earnings line based on his definition. Figure 1 illustrates a sample chart for Johnson & Johnson (
