Abstract
The purpose of this paper is first to examine whether a value premium exists following a mechanical screening process (i.e., the search process) in the Canadian markets between 1999 and 2007, and second whether value investors add value in the stock selection process by being able to find truly undervalued stocks from the universe of the possibly undervalued stocks identified from the search process. We find that a strong and pervasive value premium exists in Canada over our sample period that persists in a bull and bear market and during a recession/recovery. Value stocks beat growth stocks even when using the very mechanical screening of the search process. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that value investors do add value, in the sense that their process of selecting truly undervalued stocks, via in-depth security valuation of the possibly undervalued stocks, produces significantly positive excess returns over and above the naive approach of simply selecting low P/E-P/BV ratio stocks. 3

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
