Investing seems simple, but it’s often complex. Deciding when and why to buy stocks, how to estimate their future value for investment decisions, and understanding growth potential are key questions for investors.
Traditional approaches followed value investing(focusing on a company’s fundamentals) or growth investing(future potential), while the modern world has moved towards TechnoValue investing, a new approach to estimating a company’s growth and then investing in it.
It is true that every strategy, whether traditional or modern, revolves around getting a good ROI. It is also true that the digital transformation of the market requires a modern approach. Traditional approaches to investing are useful but can’t be followed in isolation, and that’s where TechnoValue Investing, a blend of fundamental and technological insights, becomes useful.
What is TechnoValue Investing
TechnoValue Investing is a modern approach to investing that combines fundamental analysis and technological insights to allow investors identify stocks that are undervalued and are ready to scale up their business operations using technology.
The aim of TechnoValue Investing is to:
- Identify companies that are financially sound but are undervalued
- Leveraging technology to improve their efficiency
- Have a high growth potential
How It Is Different From Traditional Approaches
To understand the difference, let us discuss traditional investing approaches:
Value Investing – As the name suggests, value investing is a traditional investment approach that focuses on undervalued stocks with high growth potential. Warren Buffett was a firm believer in the value investing approach, and the popularity of this approach is also attributed to him.
While value investing is a sensible strategy, the modern market demands more dynamic methods.
Key Indicators:
- Price-To-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- Cash Flow
- Strong Balance Sheet
- Promoter’s Share
Growth Investing – In this traditional approach, investors focus on the expected growth of the company. Here, it is not necessary that the company is undervalued; the main driving factor is whether it has the potential to grow or not.
Growth Investing can be risky as the valuation of companies is ignored, and everything revolves around growth speculations.
The Need For A New Investment Approach
With automation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven decision-making, markets are evolving. Companies with strong fundamentals but no technological advancement, or companies that are performing based on market hype, both have a high chance of failing. Thus, for a balanced approach, TechnoValue Investing was the solution.
Core Principles Of TechnoValue Investing
Financial Fundamentals: One of the core principles of TechnoValue Investing is the financial fundamentals. In this approach, the focus is to analyze whether the company is profitable or not, has a strong balance sheet, and the extent of its ROI.
Technological Adoption: Compared to traditional investment approaches that were focused on a single criterion of growth, TechnoValue Investing not only focuses on a company’s fundamentals but also checks whether companies are adopting technology to enhance their business operations and scalability or not.
Reasonable Valuation: Unlike growth investing, TechnoValue Investing doesn’t operate on market hype. This modern investment approach focuses on the true valuation of the company by combining its financials and scalability potential using technology.
How TechnoValue Investing Helps:
Identification of the right companies: A TechnoValue investor identifies companies based on their fundamentals and technological advancement in their business sector. The focus is to invest in companies that are using digital infrastructure to grow.
Research & Development: Companies that are increasing their production capacity and are profitable are good, but the companies that regularly invest in R&D and incorporate technology for smooth business operations and innovations are the ones to invest in.
Suitability: TechnoValue investing is beneficial for both a beginner and an expert. TechnoValue investing reduces the role of guesswork and emotional decisions, providing scope for rational decision-making in the market, whether you are an experienced investor or not.
Final Thoughts
TechnoValue Investing is a modern approach to investing and can give more consistent results. TechnoValue investing provides a balanced approach to your investment by creating a suitable blend of strong-performing indicators of a company and analyzing the role of technology in their business operations.
