DVM (Durability-Valuation-Momentum) is MintBytes proprietary 3-axis stock-scoring framework. Each axis is scored A-F and combined into a single colour-coded grade.
Components: Durability = quality and consistency of earnings, ROE/ROCE, leverage discipline, accruals. Valuation = P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA versus history and peers. Momentum = price + earnings momentum over 3/6/12 months.
Example: A large-cap with DVM = AAA is highly-durable, fairly-valued and showing positive momentum (rare, premium quality). A turnaround small-cap may sit at FAB — weak history, cheap valuation, improving momentum.
When to use: First-pass screening before deeper fundamental work; comparing two peers within the same sector.
When NOT to use: As a buy/sell signal in isolation. DVM is a relative-ranking tool, not a forecast. Always read the underlying ratios.
Caveat: DVM is an analytical aid, not investment advice. Past durability does not guarantee future earnings; valuation grades can rerate sharply.
