Enterprising Investor Description

The Enterprising Investor stock screen was made popular by Benjamin Graham’s book The Intelligent Investor.

In the book, Graham identifies two categories of investors; the defensive and the enterprising.

According to Graham, an enterprising investor buys from a list of common stocks “that can be identified as undervalued by logical and reasonably dependable standards.”

See a more detailed explanation of the screen here.
