Yahoo Finance column checked against Yahoo Finance’s own pages on . Its cheapest paid plan, Bronze, lists at $95.40/yr in US dollars before tax and promotions — vendors change their prices, so check theirs before you buy.
Yahoo Finance is the familiar free home for quotes, news, watchlists and broad market data. It’s great for a quick look, but it’s built for breadth, not depth — there’s no intrinsic-value DCF, and the portfolio analytics stop at the basics. Its paid plans add more data, but the shape of the page stays the same: a price, a chart, the headlines and a row of ratios. That is exactly right for a quick look, and it is where a decision to buy or sell usually needs more than a quick look.
Free, familiar and enormously broad — quotes, news and data on almost anything.
Quick watchlists and portfolios that anyone can set up in seconds.
Market news from many sources in one feed, updated through the day.
Yahoo shows a price and a P/E; Lemma Analysis shows what a stock is worth — Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model, on your assumptions, with a bear/base/bull case on each. Free for 3 companies a day with no account, unlimited on Ultimate.
No banner ads or clutter — a purpose-built terminal for valuing companies, screening and tracking a portfolio with real factor and drawdown analytics.
A thesis journal with review dates keeps you honest about why you own each position — something a quotes page will never do.
Quotes, news and data on almost everything that trades, in every market, for free — Yahoo Finance is the broadest first look there is. Lemma Analysis covers US-listed companies only.
If a price, a chart and the headlines are all you need, Yahoo Finance gives you that without an account. What we add is depth, and depth is worth something only if you use it.
Yahoo Finance quotes almost every asset class in one place. Lemma Analysis opens companies and ETFs listed on NASDAQ and NYSE and nothing else, so a mixed portfolio of funds, currencies and coins is better watched there.
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.
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.
Screen for candidates, then track them on a watchlist with a margin-of-safety target so each name carries an undervalued / fair / rich signal.
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.
It is free to start — a portfolio, watchlists, the five-pillar Quality Score, the company pages and the four intrinsic-value models on 3 companies a day, with no card. The rest of the depth Yahoo lacks — valuing without a limit, factor and drawdown analytics, the screener — is the Ultimate plan, and every new account gets seven days of it.
Yahoo Finance has no intrinsic-value modelling, only basic portfolio analytics and no thesis journal. Lemma Analysis adds four editable models with a case each, factor/drawdown analytics, and a journal to track why you hold each position — in an ad-free workspace.
No — it shows ratios and price data rather than a discounted cash flow model. Lemma Analysis has two of them, beside Graham’s formula and a dividend model, each starting from the company’s own filings and each editable — free for 3 companies a day with no account, unlimited on Ultimate.
Yes — build watchlists in Lemma Analysis and set a margin-of-safety target on each, so every name carries an undervalued / fair / rich signal against your fair value.
There is no direct import from Yahoo Finance. 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.
Free to start, seven days of Ultimate with it, no credit card.
