About Imperial Oil Predictive Indicators
The successful prediction of Imperial Oil stock price could yield a significant profit to investors. But is it possible? The efficient-market hypothesis suggests that all published stock prices of traded companies, such as Imperial Oil, already reflect all publicly available information. This academic statement is a fundamental principle of many financial and investing theories used today. However, the typical investor usually disagrees with a 'textbook' version of this hypothesis and continually tries to find mispriced stocks to increase returns. We use internally-developed statistical techniques to arrive at the intrinsic value of Imperial Oil based on analysis of Imperial Oil hews, social hype, general headline patterns, and widely used predictive technical indicators.
We also calculate exposure to Imperial Oil's market risk, different technical and fundamental indicators, relevant financial multiples and ratios, and then comparing them to Imperial Oil's related companies. | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 (projected) | Dividend Yield | 0.0202 | 0.0254 | 0.0264 | Price To Sales Ratio | 0.74 | 0.9 | 0.96 |

Investors also form their own opinion of Imperial Oil's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Imperial Oil's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value.
