1) Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA) margin -
It shows how efficiently an organization is operating.
Ratio = EBDITA / Net Sales
EBITDA = Operating Income (EBIT) + Depreciation + Amortization
EBDITA Margin of 10% and more is considered good.
2) PAT Margin -
Its similar to EBDITA Margin, the only difference is - it is calculated after taxes.
PAT Margin = [PAT/Total Revenues]
A good margin will vary considerably by industry, but as a general rule of thumb, 5% is low, 10% is avg and 20% can be considered high
3) Return on equity
It indicates how much return the shareholders are making over their initial investment in the company
ROE - [Net Profit / Shareholders Equity* 100]
Generally 15%+ ROE can be considered to invest in a company with a good cashflow and low debt.
4) ROCE - Return on Capital Employed
Return on Capital employed indicates the overall return the company generates considering both the equity and debt
ROCE = [Profit before Interest & Taxes / Overall Capital Employed]
ROCE of 15% and above is considered good
5) Debt to Equity Ratio -
It can be measured directly from Balance sheet - [Total Debt/Total Equity]
D/E Ratio < 1 = Safe
1 < D/E < 2 = Moderate
D/E > 2 Aggressive and risky
Lower is better, means funds can be arranged easily
But then again depends on Sector to Sector
6) Interest coverage Ratio -
The interest coverage ratio is a debt and profitability ratio used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on its outstanding debt.
IC Ratio - [Earnings before Interest and Tax / Interest Payment]
Higher is better
7) Acid Test Ratio -
The acid-test ratio is a measure of how well a company can satisfy its short-term (current) financial obligations.
Ratio - {Currents Assets - Inventories}/Current Liabilities
Ideally, a business should have an acid-test ratio of at least 1:1
8) Working Capital Turnover -
Working capital turnover ratio indicates how much revenue the company generates for every unit of working capital.
Working Capital Turnover = [Revenue / Average Working Capital]
Higher the working capital turnover ratio the better it is
9) P/S - Price/Sales Ratio
This ratio compares the stock price of the company with the company’s sales per share
Price to sales ratio = Current Share Price / Sales per Share
One can easily find overvalued and undervalued stocks using this ratio and by comparison with peers
10) Price to Earning (P/E) Ratio
P/E = Stock Price/ Earning per Share
P/E indicates how expensive or cheap the stock is trading at - lower is better
Compare PE of similarly placed companies to find undervalued gems.
