VALUE VS GROWTH INVESTOR
The Major Difference Between a Value Investor and a Growth Investor
Benjamin Graham once said, "An investment is based on incisive, quantitative analysis, while speculation depends on whim and guesswork."
Value Investing:
There are two types of investors, the one who looks for bargains, and we called them Value Investors and the other one's look for opportunity known as Growth Investors. That is, the value investors attempt to discover stocks that are exchanging below the value of the organizations they serve, and when they considered that the price of a stock is going under-priced, they buy it because it is an opportunity for them to make some profit. And when they see that the price of a stock is going overvalue, they sell it. Once they buy a share of a particular company, value investors attempt to ride the price higher until it returns to its fair market price.
​
Many value investors apply precise analysis to classify stocks that can be undervalued. Value investors read about the company, and they'll examine the company's Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement, and Balance Sheet to understand about the company's work and to find out the abilities and capabilities of that particular company. They'll take a bright look at their expenses, assets, revenues, and liabilities.
​
Financial Ratio is one of the best essential tools to know about the company's strengths and weaknesses. Value investors use it to get a precise scenario of the company's strategies. For instance, to discover a book value of a company, a value analyst would decrease the liabilities of the company from its assets. This step will help value investors to find out about the numbers of outstanding shares and the book value per share.
Growth Investing:
Growth investors are inquisitive about knowing all the details of a company. They wanted to make sure that the stock they are buying will give them a guaranteed profit in the future or not. They seek to identify tomorrow's highest stocks by just using today's information. They determine the commodities which can be a winner tomorrow and will expand in a much broader way.
​
They explore industries in a region to create revenues or profits more than what the market requires. When growth investors discover an encouraging stock, they purchase it, even if it has previously encountered fast price appreciation, in the expectation that its price will remain to rise as the business grows and brings more investors.
The analysis is the essential tool of Value investors, and Criteria is the useful critical tool of growth investors. Growth investors are longer concerned regarding whether a business is presenting behavior that implies it will be one of tomorrow's masters; they are light concentrated on the value of the underlying corporation. For instance, growth investors may prefer corporations with sustainable aggressive support that are demanded to experience accelerated revenue increase, that are useful for holding cost, and that have an expert management team in the community.
