The FALCON Method

David Solyomi

The FALCON Method employs a structured, multifactor approach to rank stocks, emphasizing long-term investment strategies over short-term trading. By assigning weights to metrics like dividend yield, free cash flow yield, and shareholder yield, it identifies top-tier stocks while avoiding redundancy through innovative measures like the modified Chowder Rule. Unlike the traditional quant method, which can be unpredictable and emotionally taxing, the FALCON Method focuses on reputable companies with consistent dividend histories, minimizing psychological biases. It also highlights the importance of understanding intrinsic value versus market price, advocating for investments in undervalued, high-quality companies during market downturns. Advanced financial indicators such as ROIC and shareholder yield further refine the selection process, ensuring only the most promising stocks are chosen. With a disciplined framework that balances quantitative rigor and qualitative judgment, the FALCON Method offers a precise and effective strategy for building a robust, buy-and-hold portfolio.
