Thanks everyone for your help .@Maaxweell I had a look at market index ,looks good plenty of info there .and seems fairly easy to navigate as a mobile site also .
SimplyWall Street has some great graphics and some better information dealing with management - but - their valuations are often wacko - occasionally ridiculous. I've suggested to them that they should use a filter when they are so far out of kilter with the market, but the AI robot ignores me. Maybe the robot world hasn't heard of GIGO. Certainly they don't seem to set a discount rate to reflect risk.
Take Adairs (ADH) - SWS values them at a ridiculous $9.05 No less than 9 brokers have them at an average of $4.22 (ranging from $3.30 which is Jo Little from Morgans to $5.20)
This isn't an isolated case.
I agree with #slymeat's comments. I also found Simply Wall Street's information to be a bit behind the times and I found their valuations all over the place.
Whilst writing this I got onto the site and looked up two valuation examples for companies that are in my in SM portfolio and which I hold in real life:
Wall Street has a valuation for Uniti Group (UWL) of $3.16 which is way below true value in my opinion (recent take over activity seems to back up my opinion), however, their valuation for Imdex (IMD) of $2.94 is much closer to reality. (Analysts' midpoint consensus for these companies are: UWL $4.49 and IMD $3.11) - you can get this information from MarketScreener if you do not have another source.
Everyone is different - some may find sites like Simply Wall Street to be a useful tool for them - it's not for me.
I have been investing for more years than I care to recall and when I started out there was no internet and you simply had to get company reports mailed to you to do your analysis. Now all you have to do is press a button and the company reports land on your desk in a nanosecond, bang the financials into a prepared excel spreadsheet and carefully read the comments in the directors report and notes and compare them to what was said the previous year. And as #slymeat said - go to the company's website to get information.
For those who are time poor you can get information on directors' transactions and up to 10 years financials for all ASX companies from marketindex.com.au - currently a free service.
Do many here use simply wall St for a insights into asx listed companies in particular the small cap end of the market..Im just curious of peoples experiences and how accurate they find the data .
I wouldn't base my decisions soley from such a site of course, i just thought it could be a handy tool to sift through information I work in mining/construction on 3wk swings 12hrdays often with little internet connection so you could say fairly time poor .
I would appreciate suggestions of an alternative site if any one can steer me in a better direction
