Overpriced

GOOG is Overpriced: at $340.35 it trades 32% above its fair value of $257.74. Its buy price (Payback Price) is $103.10, 70% below today's price. Business quality is strong: all 5 key numbers clear the 10% bar.

How we valued it

Free Cash Flow. Sales grew 13% a year over the last 3 years, below the 15% we look for in a fast grower, so we value it on its free cash flow instead of an earnings forecast.
