Peter Lynch Value (Dynamic Growth)This indicator implements Peter Lynch's core valuation principle: Fair Price = Earnings Per Share (EPS) * Growth Rate.
It provides a dynamic "fair value" line overlaid on the price chart, allowing traders and investors to quickly assess whether a stock's current price is trading above or below its intrinsic value according to the Lynch method.
Key Features
1. Dynamic Growth Rate Calculation
The indicator uses a custom algorithm to calculate the critical EPS Growth Rate, making it robust against missing data from standard financial fields.
Methodology: It fetches historical TTM Diluted EPS reports (EARNINGS_PER_SHARE_DILUTED, TTM) and calculates the Year-over-Year (YoY) Growth Percentage from the current TTM value versus the TTM value 4 periods prior.
Reliability: This custom calculation ensures the value line appears even when TradingView's pre-calculated growth metrics are unavailable (na).
2. Multiplier Control
P/E Cap: You can enforce a maximum P/E multiplier (maxPE, default 25), preventing the fair value from becoming unrealistically high for extremely fast-growing companies (as Lynch suggested).
Fallback P/E: If insufficient financial history is available to calculate the growth rate, the indicator automatically switches to a user-defined fallbackPE (default 15) and highlights the line in orange as a warning.
3. Smoothing (Optional)
To reduce the volatility often seen in valuation metrics, you can apply an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) to the Fair Value line. This helps visualize the underlying trend of intrinsic value.
4. Forward Estimate (Optional)
Display an optional projection (circles) based on the analysts' next Fiscal Year EPS Estimate (EARNINGS_ESTIMATE, FY). This shows the potential fair value if the company meets future expectations.
5. Diagnostic Table
A table in the corner provides transparency on the calculation:
Green/Red: Confirms if TTM EPS and Calculated Growth are found.
Final P/E Used: Shows the exact multiplier used (calculated growth or the manual fallback).

Valuation TableHey folks, I hope you are all doing well!
This is an indicator that you can use to help you to evaluate companies. There are a few things I added to the valuation table that I personally use and I will explain what they are.
I added Joel Greenblatt's ROC% because it takes Earnings before Interest and Taxes to reflect more closely what the company earns from its operations, while including the cost of depreciation/amortization of assets. A high double digit figure often means that the company has a defensible edge versus its competitors (e.g. a strong brand or a unique product). It's good for relative valuation (comparing two companies in the same industry).
I also added Donald Yacktman's forward rate of return. Yacktman defines forward rate of return as the normalized free cash flow yield plus real growth plus inflation . Unlike the Earnings Yield %, the Forward Rate of Return uses the normalized Free Cash Flow of the past seven years, and considers growth. The forward rate of return can be thought of as the return that investors buying the stock today can expect from it in the future. Yacktman’s Forward Rate of Return may or may not be a useful metric. However, it does present new ways to see and think about stocks we may want to buy.
I added a box called "real price" and that is from Peter Lynch's book, "One Up on Wall Street," where he talked about how the real price of the stock is really the current price - Net Cash Per Share.
I would also personally pair this script with TradingView's built in financial indicators that shows the revenue growth, net income, etc.
Note: the script only works on the weekly timeframe and it will take some time to load because it has a lot of data.
