The 14th edition of the freefincal stock analyzer is now available for free download. Since Morningstar changed to site layout the sheet could no longer download financials and many users wrote to me about this. In this edition, I had changed the way the sheet retrieves data. Give this a try and let me know your feedback. What does this sheet do you ask?
The automated stock analyzer pulls financials from Morningstar, stock price history from moneycontrol and calculates the intrinsic value in six different ways, along with Dupont analysis, Graham number, Piotroski and Altman Z-scores for financial health.
It also auto-generates Hewitt Heiserman Jr.’s Earnings Power Box, thanks to the efforts of Rs. Srivatsan, who explained how to identify good business from a bad one: It’s Earnings That Count: Forget the next Infy; Can you identify the next Satyam? This is my fav tool in the sheet!
If you do not prefer MorningStar financials, you can use Automated Earnings Power Stock Analysis With Screener.in data
Downloading Financials From MorningStar
The new sheet has been created with the latest Office 365 edition and will only work in Excel version that supports Power Query functions (above Exel 2010 versions). It will not work in Mac.
All you need to do is to follow the instructions step by step as given in the sheet. Select the stock you need to analyze ==> Clear the existing data in the MorningStar financial sheet ==> Run the data query ===> Open the auto-downloaded CSV file from MorningStar ===> Copy data and paste on to the analysis sheet.

Getting the error “Initialization of the data source failed.” Using it in Excel 2010 on Win10.
Same Here
Same error. What’s the solution?
I am able to download data from Morningstar. I have populated the Morningstar Data sheet. None of the analysis sheet gets populated. The Analysis sheet shows #REF! everywhere.
Will check. It could depend on the stock. Try with a standard large cap
I am sorry I did not mention the stock I wanted to analyze. It was Marico.
I re-tried with a large cap stock – Reliance
The result is the same.
The Moneycontrol data download sheet hangs trying to download data.
Hi Professor,
I have to put sheet (www.MorningStar.in) for financial *.csv (WIPRO), but your sheet tab (MorningStar Data) and my sheet tab(.csv) have different.
Please, can you review select Row 1 to 26 (fully) in .csv ?
Also, sheet .xlsx and .csv have select column A to L same.
Hello Sir,
In the Analysis tab, “Payout Ratio%” (Line 31) & “Book Value Per Share INR” (Line 37) showing the value “#NA”. I have tried for 3-4 different stocks but result is same. This may be impacting in the Valuation Tabs. Can you please review?
