I use psr. Mostly in conjunction with other metrics. What I've noticed over the past decade is that sometimes it doesn't work (when the market is down for longish time), and sometimes, like now (this year), it works satisfactorily for me when the market has moved up. Going through my past couple years' posts here where I mentioned I liked a company because of its psr, it's worked out okay (stock has moved up) 12 times, and has not worked out favorably five times. (including one time, where I said the stock wasn't a buy for me because the psr was too high (relative to itself over past years), yet the stock continued higher) ===================== Regarding: "I am trying to come up with a few metrics to screen for value stocks." Most screening programs screen for the same metrics it seems to me. My experience is that it's not a matter of coming up with new/different metrics. Instead it's a matter of combining some of the metrics. Which metrics are combined, and how they are combined so that they suggest value or not.
