Finally, you can take a look at a company ’s working capital:
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
For the most part, you want to see a positive number. Th is means that the
company can pay off its bills and not need to rely on more fi nancing.
Be especially wary if a company has a history of negative working capital.
Th is indicates the business model may be fl awed or that management is not
effi cient with its resources—or both.
Earnings
Earnings per share = Net income/Shares outstanding
P/E = Stock price / EPS
It ’s a simple metric but is widely followed. It is an easy way to get a sense
of a company ’s valuation.
So, if the P/E ratio is 25 or higher, the valuation will look fairly expensive.
PEG = P/E
ratio / Growth rate
Investors want these to be consistent. For example, if a P/E is 50 and the
earnings growth rate is also 50, then the valuation would not be considered
overvalued. If anything, it may be cheap. Keep in mind that growth
companies tend to trade at a premium valuation. Th e reason is that it is not
easy to find these opportunities.
But if the P/E is 50 but the growth rate is 25, then this could be a big
problem. Unless the company ramps up its growth rate—which is never easy
—the stock price could be vulnerable.
Footnotes
One type of footnote will cover accounting principles, such as for
recognizing revenues or expenses. Look to see if these have changed over
time or if they are diff erent from similar companies. Adjustments in time
periods can be major red fl ags, especially for depreciation.
Another type of
footnote will provide more detail about an item in the financials. For
example, it can disclose the features of a debt, such as the interest rate and
maturity. Th ere will also be disclosures about leases, which can be serious
obligations.
