Want something better than GuruFocus? Here it is.

Brief Equity and GuruFocus are both built for fundamental research on stocks. Brief Equity puts the work itself at the centre: one feed for everything you track, a research library with a notebook for every stock, your own valuation models, and 13F ownership, in one workspace. GuruFocus describes itself as a site for stock insights, screeners, charts, insider trades, guru analysis, and value investing tools (as of October 2026).

The difference shows the moment you find something worth keeping. In Brief Equity it goes into a note, beside the model and the ownership picture for the same stock.

Brief Equity's feed carries news, press releases, earnings-call transcripts, SEC filings, insider trades, and analyst ratings for every ticker on your watchlists, with a tab per source. Select a passage in a transcript or press release and it saves into a note as a callout with a back-link to the exact spot. A block of cells from the financials saves as a table, and a chart or a model's valuation card saves as an image.

The notes sit in a research library with your own columns, stages, and tags, and a notebook for every stock. Your columns come in 7 types, any of 182 market metrics can sit beside them, you can filter by any column, and a board lays the stocks out in lanes by a field such as Stage or Conviction. A knowledge graph draws your watchlists, stocks, notes, and the funds you follow as one picture.

GuruFocus's Investing 101 course has you add the stocks you pick to a portfolio, which it calls your analytical dashboard, and work through its Stock Analysis Checklist, which it shares as a Google Doc. The tools that course walks through are screeners, backtesting, model portfolios, guru trades, insider trades, and your own portfolio (as of October 2026).

Brief Equity's models are a discounted cash flow and an EV/EBITDA model, driven by your own assumptions: Bear, Base, and Bull scenarios, sensitivity analysis, a Monte Carlo distribution over the inputs, peer comparables, an exit-multiple value on EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, or EV/EBIT, and versions you save and restore. Base starts on the latest Street consensus, and the valuation recomputes as you drag an assumption.

GuruFocus has a Discounted Cash Flow Calculator. Its glossary describes a two-stage model on earnings or free cash flow per share, with default assumptions for the discount rate, the growth rates, and the length of each stage. Its GF Value is its own estimate of a stock's fair value, from historical valuation multiples, business fundamentals, and expected growth (as of October 2026).

Quarterly 13F filings show who holds a stock and what each fund did last quarter. Open a fund for its portfolio, turnover, 1-year relative performance, and concentration, save the funds you follow into one dashboard, and see ownership filtered to the tickers on your watchlists. In the knowledge graph, focus a fund to see where its holdings overlap yours.

GuruFocus follows the investors it calls Gurus. Its course describes Latest Picks, which compiles the latest quarter's buys and sells by those investors, and an Aggregated Portfolio of their combined holdings (as of October 2026).

Brief Equity covers US and international stocks on 60+ exchanges. Every stock page has four tabs: Overview, Charts, Financials, and Dividends. Financials hold the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, with 20 years of annual statements, 40 quarters, and a trailing-twelve-month column. Charts carry price with volume, moving averages, and Bollinger bands, plus panes for P/E, EV/EBITDA, and other multiples.

Filings, insider trades, and 13F ownership come from SEC records.

Brief Equity is one plan with everything included: a 10-day free trial with no card, then $38/mo billed annually ($48/mo monthly). The feed, the research library, the models, ownership, the graph, and the Markets view are all in it. GuruFocus sells subscription plans, and its data documentation assigns each guru to a subscription package (as of October 2026).
