In today’s analysis one of the largest banks in the world that released an outstanding quarterly by achieving a score of 92% on our Checklist.
Revenues of 25 billion with 7 billion net profit and improving net margin. As can be seen from the graph below, the multiple P/E (Price/Earnings) is at one of the most attractive levels in recent years.
In addition, EPS reported above analysts’ expectations as well as in the previous 9 quarters.
This analysis focuses on the quarterly financial results released in the latest earnings report and aims to provide the key data you need to know to understand if the company has grown compared to previous years and if it beat analysts’ expectations.
Key data is represented through intuitive tables and graphs and it is possible to have a complete and original overview of the quarterly and overall results with our Checklists.
The Checklist | Last Quarter focuses on the last quarter and consists of 13 questions that allow us to understand if and by how much the analysts’ expectations have been beaten, if the company is accelerating growth compared to recent years in terms of revenue, net income and net margin.
The Checklist | Overall takes into consideration the company as a whole and consists of 12 questions useful for understanding what is the target price and the consensus of analysts, if the key business data/margin have improved, if the company has more attractive valuation multiples compared to the last few years and if the stock price trend is positive or negative.
*operating income and cash flow from operations cannot be calculated for financial companies and therefore, compared to the analyzes on companies in other sectors, these 2 metrics are not included in this analysis.

- Revenue
- Net Income and Net Margin
Financials

4. Checklist | Last Quarter
This fourth section is useful for analyzing the results released by the company in the last quarter and understanding whether it was a good or bad quarter based on analysts’ expectations and more generally on the financial results compared with the periods previous useful for understanding if the company is growing and if it is doing so at higher growth rates than in the past.
The checklist consists of 13 “questions” that are based on 6 metric categories and are answered “Yes” or “No”. In the “Actual” column is the metric reported by the company in the last quarter, while in the “Benchmark” column is the comparison metric.
In particular, the following 4 categories of metrics are present:
- EPS – Earnings Per Share:
The questions in this category are useful in understanding whether the earnings per share reported in the last quarter are better than last year and if and by how much they beat analysts’ expectations. - Business Margin:
The questions in this category are useful for understanding whether the main business margin (Net Margin) is improved compared to the same quarter last year and compared to the average of the same quarters of the previous 3 years (information useful for understanding whether margin is growing at a rate higher than in previous years). - Revenue and Net Income:
The questions presented in these 2 categories of key business data are useful to understand if there has been growth compared to last year, compared to the average of the last 3 published quarters and compared to the average of the same quarters of the previous 3 years.
In the first row of the table in “Checks Completed” it is possible to know how many questions out of the total have been answered positively, clearly the higher the percentage the better it is and usually an excellent score is equal to or greater than 60%, if a company reaches 100 % means it was a near perfect quarter.
*In the image there are a total of 25 questions because this table is also used to evaluate companies that do not belong to the financial sector. For those that belong to the latter, there are some metrics that cannot be calculated such as operating income/margin and cash flow from operations/margin, consequently the questions regarding these 2 metrics should not be counted in fact there is the wording “N/A”.
5. Financials and Key Charts | Last 12-Months
This fifth section has a similar structure to the section on the financials of the last quarter but in this case the more medium-long term data are considered, i.e. those relating to the last 12 months (or the sum of the last 4 quarters) put in relation with the previous periods.
Also in this section there are 2 subsections: Financials and Key Charts.
For each of the 2 sections, the main metrics useful for evaluating the performance of a business are taken into consideration:
- Revenue
- Net Income and Net Margin
For an explanation of the individual metrics, see section 4. Financials and Key Charts | Last Quarter.
Financials
This first subsection contains the main financial data released in the last 12-months and the comparison with the same reported in the previous 12-months.
The purpose is to understand if the company has been able to grow the volume of the business by increasing revenue, produce an improved net income and improve efficiency through the improvement of the main business margin (Net Margin).
*Financial data expressed in millions of USD
Key Charts
This second subsection presents the data from a graphical point of view to show the trend of each metric during the previous years and it is useful to understand if the company is progressively improving quarter after quarter.
*Financial data expressed in millions of USD
*Inside the pdf that you can download is a deeper analysis of all these metrics in the last quarter, last 12 months and last fiscal year compared to previous years through many graphs and tables.
6. Performance vs S&P 500 Index
This section is useful for understanding how the company is performing compared to the rest of the market, represented by the S&P 500 index, in the short, medium and long term.
7. Valuation Multiples
This section contains the top 2 valuation multiples that are used to understand how the market values the company against its key business data.
The current multiples (Current) are compared with the average value of the last year (Avg. 1-Year) and of the last 3 years (Avg. 3-Year) to verify if at the moment the company has a more attractive valuation than in the past, i.e. if the current multiple is less than that of the 2 periods considered.
The valuation multiples included here are as follows:
- P/S (Price To Sales):
This multiple relates the market value and revenue of the last 12 months. - P/E (Price To Earnings):
This multiple relates the market value and the net income of the last 12 months.
If a valuation multiple is “N/A” it means that it cannot be calculated because net income is a negative number.
8. Checklist | Overall
This last section is similar to the section Checklist | Last Quarter but the financial data do not refer to those of the last quarter but to the last 12 months (in order to have a medium-long term figure) and “questions” on other aspects of the company such as valuation, performance and some analyst metrics.
This table is intended to give you an overview of all areas of strength and weakness of the company. Below are the 3 categories of additional metrics compared to the previous version:
- Analyst Estimates:
Questions in this category seek to understand the company’s target price over the next 12 months, how many times the company has beaten analyst expectations over the past 10 quarters, and whether analysts recommend buying, holding, or selling the company’s stock. - Valuation:
The questions in this category are based on the 2 main valuation multiples (P/S and P/E) and aim to understand if the company currently has a more attractive valuation than in the past, checking if the current multiples are lower than the average of the last 3 years. - Performance:
The questions in this category aim to understand if the company’s share price is in a positive trend in the short, medium and long term and to understand if in the last 12 months the company is outperforming the S&P 500 index. Positive trend if it is higher than the average price of the last 20, 50 and 200 days.
*If a valuation multiple is “N/A” it means that it cannot be calculated because net income is a negative number.
*In the image there are a total of 20 questions because this table is also used to evaluate companies that do not belong to the financial sector. For those that belong to the latter, there are some metrics that cannot be calculated such as operating income/margin and cash flow from operations/margin, consequently the questions regarding these 2 metrics should not be counted in fact there is the wording “N/A”.
