Simple (And 100% Free) Stock Picking 101 in <10 Minutes

Want to be a better investor?

Today’s alert will help, regardless of your skill level.

I’m showing you how to pick stocks using only the free version of Yahoo! Finance.

I’ll use Nvidia as my example, but you can use this method with any stock.

Step #1: Type in the company name or ticker into the “Quote Lookup” search bar on the right side of the Yahoo! Finance homepage.

The “Summary” tab will appear.

Here’s a screenshot of NVDA’s “Summary” tab at the time I’m writing this:

NVDA

On this page I’m looking at three things:

  • The stock chart over various time horizons. I prefer high-quality stocks that consistently move up and to the right.
  • The Market Cap. This tells you the size of the company. As you can see, Nvidia is a $3.886 trillion company.
  • The last thing I’m looking at is the P/E ratio. You can think of this like cost-per-ounce labels on packaged goods at grocery stores. The higher the ratio, the more expensive the stock.

Step #2: Click on the “Financials” tab on the left side of the page.

The income statement will populate first.

I’m looking for consistent revenue and earnings growth here.

As you can see below, Nvidia has grown revenue consistently from just $26.9 billion in 2022 to $148.5 billion in the trailing twelve months (TTM).

Earnings have also grown from $9.7 billion in 2022 to $76.7 billion in the trailing twelve months (TTM).

Total Revenue Net Income

This is insane growth. Hence why the stock has been a rocket ship over the last few years.

Step #3: Click on the “Analysis” tab on the left side of the page.

This tab provides a simplified view of expert predictions and expectations about the company's future performance.

Here’s a few screenshots of NVDA’s “Analysis” tab at the time I’m writing this:

Earnings Estimate

This Earnings Estimate section shows expert estimates of earnings over various time periods.

I prefer the “Avg. Estimate” line, which is $5.76 per share next year compared to just $4.29 this year – forecasting Nvidia’s historic growth will continue.

EPS Trend

This EPS Trend section reveals how analysts’ expectations for the stock have evolved.

Over the past 90 days, Nvidia’s average earnings estimates for both 2026 and 2027 dipped briefly during the tariff scare – but have since bounced back, with next year’s forecast already fully recovering.

That’s exactly what you want to see in a high-quality name – upward-trending earnings projections that show resilience when the broader market hits turbulence.

Step #4: Combine the information to make a logical assessment.

Nvidia’s current price is $159 and the stock trades at a 51x P/E ratio.

If the stock price doesn’t move and the company achieves the average earnings estimates for next year – which is $5.76 according to the “Analysis” tab – the stock will trade at a 28x P/E ratio in one year.

[$159 divided by $5.76 equals a 28x “forward” P/E ratio.]

It’s important to note that NVDA never trades at 28x earnings, however.

Buyers consistently step in whenever the most powerful, profitable, and important AI company falls below a 50x P/E ratio – let alone 28x.

To put how cheap a 28x P/E ratio is into perspective, here’s a list of a few companies currently trading at 28x and their growth rates:

Growth Rate

In short, these companies aren’t even in the same league as Nvidia.

That’s why I expect NVDA’s stock price to continue rising in the near future.

Based on its projected growth and current forward valuation, Nvidia is still surprisingly undervalued.

Best of all, you can use this same framework to evaluate other stocks too.

Every step I took here was done using the free version of Yahoo! Finance – no fancy tools or deep financial expertise required.

Send me an email with any questions at AskDavis@paradigmpressgroup.com, and stay tuned to The Million Mission as I look to trade NVDA to $1 million.
