Indicator guide
- Debt / Equity
- Financial debt divided by shareholders' equity shows how much of the business is funded by lenders. Below 1 means owners fund more of the company than creditors do.
- Gross margin vs. industry
- Gross margin is the share of revenue left after the direct cost of products and services. Beating the industry median by at least one point suggests pricing power or a cost advantage.
- Operating cash flow vs. net income
- Compares three years of operating cash flow with three years of reported profit. Above 100% means accounting profit is fully backed by cash coming in.
- Free cash flow vs. net income
- Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital spending, compared with profit over three years. Above 80% means most of the profit is cash the company can actually use.
- ROIC stable and rising
- Return on invested capital measures the profit earned on all money invested in the business, by owners and lenders. The latest value must hold near its five-year median and be higher than five years ago.
- Return on equity vs. industry
- Return on equity is net income divided by shareholders' equity. It is compared with the industry median because normal levels differ a lot between industries.
- Positive EBITDA
- EBITDA is operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. A positive value means the core business earns money before financing and accounting charges.
- SG&A stable or falling
- Selling, general and administrative costs as a share of revenue show how heavy the overhead is. Staying at or below the five-year median means costs are under control.
- Interest coverage
- Operating income divided by interest expense shows how easily the company pays its lenders. Above 5 leaves a wide safety margin if profits fall.
- Net margin vs. industry
- Net margin is the share of revenue that ends up as net profit. It is compared with the industry median to account for different business models.
- ROA vs. industry
- Return on assets is net income divided by total assets. It shows how efficiently the company turns everything it owns into profit, compared with its peers.
- Current ratio
- Current assets divided by current liabilities measures the ability to pay bills due within a year. Above 1.5 indicates a comfortable short-term buffer.
- Total assets growing, 5 years
- Checks that total assets grew on average over five years, with at most one sharp annual decline. The allowed decline depends on the sector, and the check is skipped for software companies.
- Free cash flow CAGR, 5 years
- The average yearly growth rate of free cash flow over five years. At least 5% a year shows the cash a business produces is growing.
- Quick ratio
- Like the current ratio, but without inventory, which can be slow to turn into cash. Above 1 means short-term debts are covered by the most liquid assets.
- Net debt / EBITDA
- Financial debt minus cash, divided by EBITDA, estimates how many years of operating earnings would repay the debt. Below 3 is generally considered manageable.
- Positive free cash flow
- Free cash flow in the latest year must be above zero. It means operations fund investment without new debt or new shares.
- Revenue CAGR, 5 years
- The average yearly growth rate of revenue over five years. At least 7% a year points to a business that keeps expanding.
