What is Koyfin?

Koyfin is a market-data terminal for investors who want the charts, dashboards and screens a professional desk would use, at a retail price. It covers more than a hundred thousand securities worldwide, carries consensus estimates, and its macro dashboards — yields from forty countries, currencies, commodities — come with every plan. What it does not do is value a company: its help centre describes multiples, analyst price targets and a chart that sets a price against a fair multiple, but no discounted cash flow or other intrinsic-value model you can open and drive. Koyfin shows what the market pays for a business and how that compares; what the business is worth is left to you.

Where Koyfin shines

Charts and custom dashboards in the style of a professional terminal, with any metric plotted against any other over time.

Macro coverage on every plan — live yields from forty countries, currencies, commodities and crypto — beside the company data.

More than a hundred thousand securities worldwide, with global consensus estimates from the Plus plan up.

Why choose Lemma Analysis

From a multiple to a value

Koyfin shows what the market pays for a company; Lemma Analysis asks what it is worth. Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model start from the company’s own filings and are drawn on one axis against today’s price, every assumption yours to change. Part of Ultimate, seven days of which comes with every new account.

A multiple judged against its own past

Instead of a chart of P/E to interpret yourself, the Fair Value tab sets seven valuation multiples against the spread of the company’s own history and says where today sits in it.

A grade of the business, free

Koyfin ranks a company metric by metric against a cohort. Lemma Analysis grades the business itself — a Quality Score from 0 to 10 across five pillars, on every company and on every plan, the free one included.

A thesis with a review date

Koyfin’s notes live on an alert. Here every holding can carry a written thesis with a review date and a status, so the reason you bought comes back to you on a date you chose.

When to stay on Koyfin

You read the market top-down

If your process starts with rates, currencies and the macro picture, Koyfin’s dashboards are built for it and Lemma Analysis has nothing comparable — we start from one company’s filings.

You own companies outside the US

Koyfin covers markets worldwide; Lemma Analysis covers companies listed on NASDAQ and NYSE and nothing else. A portfolio held mostly in Europe or Asia is better served there.

You chart more than you model

Plotting any metric against any other, across many companies and many years, is Koyfin’s home ground. If that is how you form a view, and a discounted cash flow is not, stay where the charts are.

How to switch

01

Create a free account

Sign up in a moment — no credit card. Seven days of Ultimate come with it; the portfolio, the watchlists and the Quality Score stay free afterwards.

02

Value a stock your way

Open any ticker’s Intrinsic Value tab: Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model, drawn on one axis against today’s price, with every assumption editable and a bear/base/bull case behind each.

03

Screen and build a watchlist

Screen for candidates, then track them on a watchlist with a margin-of-safety target so each name carries an undervalued / fair / rich signal.

04

Write the thesis and review it

Record why you own each position and give it a review date. Reaffirm or exit when the date comes due — a habit the other tools don’t give you.

FAQ

Is there a Koyfin alternative with a DCF?

Lemma Analysis prices a company four ways — Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model — two of them discounted cash flow, and draws all four on one axis against today’s price with every assumption editable and a bear, base and bull case on each. Koyfin lists multiples and analyst targets but no intrinsic-value model. The four models are part of Ultimate, and every new account gets seven days of it without a card.

What does Lemma Analysis do that Koyfin doesn’t?

It values the business rather than charting it: four intrinsic-value models, seven multiples judged against the company’s own history, a five-pillar Quality Score on every plan and a thesis journal with review dates. Koyfin does more with macro data, charts and global coverage, and we say so.

Is Koyfin better for macro and global stocks?

Its dashboards cover yields, currencies and commodities, and it reaches more than a hundred thousand securities worldwide. Lemma Analysis covers companies listed on NASDAQ and NYSE only and has no macro dashboards. If those are what you use Koyfin for, it is the better tool for them.

How much does Lemma Analysis cost next to Koyfin?

Lemma Analysis is free to start, and Ultimate is $8.99 a month or $79.99 a year with no tier above it. Koyfin’s cheapest paid plan, Plus, is printed under the comparison table with the day we read it from Koyfin’s own pricing page.

Can I bring my Koyfin watchlists and portfolio across?

There is no direct import from Koyfin. Watchlists are quick to rebuild by ticker, and a portfolio comes across as transactions — typed in on the free plan, which holds 1 portfolio of up to 10 positions, or on Ultimate imported from your broker’s CSV export or synced from Trading 212 or Interactive Brokers. Start with the positions you know least well; that is where a written thesis earns its keep.
