The NASDAQ 100’s remarkable ascent over recent years pushed the index’s valuation metrics to elevated levels, raising concerns among value-conscious investors. However, the significant correction experienced in early 2025 has created a new landscape where fundamentally sound companies can be identified amid the broader decline.
While many market participants previously dismissed the entire index as overvalued, such a blanket assessment overlooks the nuanced reality that individual companies within the index still offer compelling value propositions when examined through sophisticated analytical frameworks – especially following the recent correction.
Consider the comprehensive analysis conducted using Validea’s multi-factor screening methodology. This robust system evaluates companies through 22 distinct investment strategies, drawing inspiration from two primary sources:
- The time-tested approaches of legendary investors, including Warren Buffett’s focus on durable competitive advantages and sustainable earnings power, and Peter Lynch’s emphasis on understanding a company’s growth trajectory in relation to its valuation.
- Findings from rigorous academic research that has identified persistent market anomalies and value-creation factors.
By applying this multifaceted analytical framework to the NASDAQ 100 constituent companies, Validea can help identify businesses that maintain strong fundamental characteristics despite the market turbulence.
