Show HN: I built a website to create financial models for any stock online

Sorry everyone! And thank you! Due to high volume I am hitting my API limits. If you are getting a server error that is why. The limit resets ever minute so please wait and try again.

Very nice, coincidentally I have been thinking about making a similar tool lately, but I&#x27;d make it quite a bit more conservative.<p>I&#x27;d want to be able to define a model like &quot;I think the fair value of a company is its net current assets plus its last 5 years of earnings&quot;, and have the tool email me whenever I can buy shares in any company substantially below that price, or sell them substantially above.<p>It wouldn&#x27;t be very hard to do, it just needs the data.<p>Where are you getting your data from?

It&#x27;s predicting a contraction in value of 20% to 70% of every stock I throw at it. 40k DIJA is a more-than-inflationary bubble popping within a few years?<p>Edit: Chipotle must be headed for E. Coli again: <i>Projected Price: $-2,890.64</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.useequityval.com&#x2F;model?ticker=CMG" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.useequityval.com&#x2F;model?ticker=CMG</a>

Im skeptical whether these types of models can help you make better investment decisions. The fate of a company usually hinges on some fundamental question.<p>For Apple it is whether they can stay a prominent platform that can capture a significant portion of the value created on it.<p>For Tesla it is how fast their self driving tech will evolve.<p>For Google it is whether AI will make search obsolete or more valuable.

I like the site. You reacted the HN front page. Congrats mate, I hope you don&#x27;t burn a hole in your wallet to support this surge in traffic.

Noice! Where do you get your data?

Your model projects the price of Nvidia will rise to $30,173. How does it arrive at that?

Is it still in Beta? Seem to have quite a few bugs, not letting me pick a stock from the list unless I refresh the page. Besides, it would be better to have some info about how was the projected price calculated.

I would love to see some tooltips or something to explain the relevance of some of the stock metrics and what a good vs bad number would look like. Something as simple as &quot;Higher number = better&quot; would be useful.

Do you mind sharing what API do you use to fetch the stock price?

Hi, loved the idea behind your product. Just a quick question about your tech stack?<p>What stack did you use? Im trying to learn more about web development and was in the process of learning how to make my idea. Im leaning towards the MERN stack rn but not exactly sure if its a good idea, so im just asking you also what were the criterias&#x2F;questions you asked yourself for choosing your tech stack?

I wish it had the ability to statistically correlate operating expenses or capital expenditures, for instance, with share-prices, especially for historical &quot;backtesting&quot;, to determine if there is a positive or negative correlation.

What are you using for a data source? Just web scraping?

Be careful, financial advise is a bit like medical advice - legal issues it can create may not be pleasant.

Taking the defaults Boeing is going to -424 a share. Will check this out again later when I can actually try some sane numbers

mind adding a blog post on how this was built? what technologies were used, what does the stack look like etc?

I subbed. Messing around with model parameters definitely has entertainment value.

the sign up page is clunky. My inputs aren&#x27;t visible <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pasteboard.co&#x2F;PL6myO1PGkIG.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pasteboard.co&#x2F;PL6myO1PGkIG.png</a>

If there is any alpha with these data, it would have been used up

hi, nice idea. I like both the graphics and the ability to create financial models for shares. Is there any limit?

The landing page doesn’t work well on mobile.

This is excellent! Good work!

Congrats on the launch! It looks well-made..<p>Also, third Show HN submission so persistence and faith paid off..

seems like apple is a sell

I’m consistently surprised at the lack of basic financial literacy in the HN crowd. The title says this is a tool to <i>create financial models</i>, not that it <i>is</i> a well-tuned financial model. Yeah, you have to make better assumptions than straight-line extrapolation from last year’s trend to arrive at reasonable valuations. The point is that this shows you what assumptions you have to make to arrive at a rationally-calculated stock value, and pre-populates all of the other necessary data and formulas in a slick UI, which is pretty cool.<p>The models that make the big bucks are the ones that ingest a ton of other external data to predict the numbers that go in the data entry cells here. And yeah, those don’t get posted online for free.

If this worked you wouldn&#x27;t be selling access, especially not for a one-time fee of $10. You&#x27;d be making millions.<p>You could probably get away with charging a subscription fee.

I&#x27;m not signing up or creating a &quot;free&quot; account without at least seeing a sample of it. JMHO.

your model is bonkers NVDA - Current Price: $921.93 | Projected Price: $30,082.68 | Difference: 3,163.01%

Everyone: This is a nice simple interface for making a discounted cash flow (DCF) model, and the pro version lets you export that to Excel. There’s still a lot of work to fill in those fields.
