Summary – Part 2

This second part of the summary shows some information on the other areas to understand if the company is at a better valuation than in the past and if the trend of the market value is correlated to the trend of the key business data.

brief explanation of the metrics

Valuation: For each valuation multiple considered, it is indicated the current value and the graph showing the past trend useful to understand if the company is currently at a better valuation (lower value than in the past). N/A is shown if the multiple cannot be calculated, i.e. if EBITDA or net profit is negative.

Correlations: For each key business data considered, it is indicated whether the trend is correlated to the trend of the market value with a value ranging from -1 to 1, where 1 indicates perfect correlation. The graphs show the company’s market value (left axis) and key business data (right axis). In the graphs, both values are in billions of dollars.

All this information can be deepened within the article in the Valuation and Correlations section.


Summary – Part 3

brief explanation of the metrics

Performance: For each period of time considered it is indicated whether the company has a positive or negative performance. Trend Direction: For each period of time considered, it is indicated whether the stock price trend is positive or negative based on whether the current price is higher (or lower) than the average price of the last 20 (short-term), 50 (mid-term ) and 200 (long-term) days. In addition, the trend of the daily stock price and the daily percentage changes are shown in the 2 graphs.

All this information can be deepened within the article in the Performance and Risk sections.


1. Key Business Data

This section focuses on the company’s key business data and aims to understand if the company’s business is growing, if the operating activity is able to produce positive flows, if net of all costs it is able to produce a net profit and whether business margins are improving.

The key business data that are taken into consideration are the following:

  • Revenue:
    Indicates the volume of business.
  • EBITDA and EBITDA margin:
    One of the most important metrics because it represents the result of the operating activity without taking into account other types of costs such as financial, fiscal and extraordinary.
  • Net Income and Net margin:
    Indicates the profit net of all costs.
learn more about metrics

Revenue:
Revenue are the sum of the products and services sold

EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
EBITDA is one of the most important metrics because it allows us to understand the trend of the operating activity alone, thus excluding other types of costs such as financial, fiscal or extraordinary costs (which are considered in Net Income). EBITDA is calculated starting from the Revenue generated and subtracting the costs associated with the company’s operations (production, personnel, marketing costs, etc.).
*To calculate the EBITDA of the banks, the “interests” are included because they are an operational part of the business.

Net Income: measures the final profit of the company after subtracting all types of costs (operational, financial, fiscal and extraordinary) from revenue.

EBITDA margin and Net margin: Business margins are important to understand if the company is able to profit from its revenue (high business margin), or the costs are too high and little profit remains (low business margin). There is a case in which the costs exceed the revenue, in which case the company reports a loss and the business margin is negative. The EBITDA margin refers only to the operating activity, therefore it is more important than the Net margin because it is not influenced by other types of costs such as financial and fiscal ones. If margins improve, it means that the company is operating more efficiently, because with the same revenue it is able to make more operating profits (EBITDA) or net profits (Net Income).

So, this section answers the following questions:

  • Is the company increasing the volume of business (Revenue growing)?
  • Is the company producing an operating profit (positive EBITDA) and is the operating margin improving (growing EBITDA margin)?
  • Is the company able to produce a profit after all costs (positive Net Income) and an improving net margin (growing Net margin)?

In order to have a complete overview of the key business data in the short, medium and long term, below are 3 sections:

  • Last Quarter:
    overview of the short-term key business data released in the latest quarterly report.

2. Valuation Multiples and Correlations

In this section you will find an analysis based on the company’s market value.

The purpose of this section is to understand, through valuation multiples, how much is valued by the market with respect to the key business data (for example it is worth 20 times the net income produced in 1 year) and to understand if there is a correlation between the trend of the market value and the trend of the key business data, or if the market value increases / decreases according to the increase / decrease of the key business data, or if there is no correlation.


2.1 Valuation Multiples

This section shows the 3 main valuation multiples that make it possible to relate the market value of the company with the 3 key business data (Revenue/Sales, EBITDA and Net income).

The 3 valuation multiples taken into consideration are the following:

  • Price to Sales (P/S): how much is the company worth compared to the revenue generated during the last 12 months.
  • Enterprise Value to EBITDA (EV / EBITDA): how much the company is worth compared to the operating profit (EBITDA) generated during the last 12 months. In this case, the market value is not used but the Enterprise Value (EV), calculated by adding short and long-term debt to the market value and subtracting the cash. If the company has a negative EBITDA, the multiple cannot be calculated (N/A).
  • Price to Earnings (P/E): How much is the company worth compared to the net income produced during the last 12 months. If the company does not generate a profit but a loss, the P/E multiple cannot be calculated (N/A).

In addition to showing how much the company is currently worth compared to the key business data, the average value of the valuation multiple of the last 12 months (“1yr Avg.”) and the last 3 years (“3yr Avg.”) is also shown, with the aim of understanding whether the company currently has a more favorable valuation than in the past. The lower a valuation multiple is compared to the past, the more favorable its valuation.

Example

In general, the higher a multiple is, the more the market overvalues a given key business data. For example, if company A is worth $ 10 billion and company B is worth $ 100 billion and they are in the same industry and both produce $ 1 billion in revenue, company A will have a P/S (Price to Sales) multiple of 10x (10 billion worth divided by 1 billion in revenues), while Company B will have a P/S multiple of 100x (100 billion worth divided by 1 billion in revenues). In this case, the market will value much more the revenue of company B making it less attractive in terms of valuation and making it potentially overvalued, or at least compared to company A which produces the same revenue but is worth 1/10 of company B.

2.2 Correlations

This section shows whether there is a correlation between the trend in the company’s market value and the trend in key business data. The correlation is calculated for the following 3 key business data:

  • Market Value and Revenue: correlation between the trend of the market value and the 12-month trailing revenue.
  • Market Value and EBITDA / EBITDA margin: correlation between the trend of the market value and the operating profit / margin (EBITDA / EBITDA margin) trailing 12 months.
  • Market Value and Net Income / Net margin: correlation between the trend of the market value and the 12-month trailing net profit / margin.

A correlation value of 1 means that the 2 metrics are perfectly correlated, so they increase and decrease at the same time. So for example a correlation value of 1 in “Market Value and REVENUE” means that the company’s market value grows as revenues grow.

A value less than 1 means that the correlation becomes increasingly weaker. A negative value means that there is an inverse correlation, that is, as one metric increases, the other decreases, and vice versa. A correlation value greater than 0.8 means that there is a very good level of correlation.

*Within the graphs, the market value is represented in the left axis and the Revenue / EBITDA / Net income in the right axis. All data are in billions of dollars.


3. Performance

This section focuses on the performance of the company’s stock price and provides some statistics to better understand how it is performing in the short, medium and long term. There are 2 subsections; “Summary” and “Charts”.


Performance – Summary

This subsection provides the following 3 types of information:

  • Trend Direction:
    Indicates whether the short / medium / long-term price trend is positive (or negative) based on whether the last recorded price is higher (or lower) than the average price of the last 20/50/200 days.
  • Stock Price Performance:
    Indicates price performance over various time periods.
  • Statistics:
    “(+/-) Days / Weeks / Months”: indicates how many days / weeks / months have closed in positive/negative as a percentage of the total during the last 3 years.
    “Avg. Gain / Loss”: indicates the average daily / weekly / monthly gain / loss during the last 3 years.

Performance – Charts

This sub-section shows some charts relating to the trend of the company’s stock price in recent years.

The data in the charts show the growth / decline of the stock price in recent years considering the daily, weekly and monthly data (“Daily / Weekly / Monthly Performance”) and the percentage performance of the stock price every day, week and month (“Positive and Negative Days / Weeks / Months “).


4. Risk

This section aims to provide some useful statistics to understand the risk of investing in the company.

In particular, it allows to understand if the company is more volatile, and therefore risky, than the market (“Beta”), if it has a trend related to the market (“Correl.”), what is the maximum loss recorded (“Maximum Drawdown”), how much it loses on average (and at max) in the days / weeks / months that close in negative (“Avg./Max. Loss”).

explanation of the metrics
  • Beta: it represents how much the company is volatile, and therefore risky, with respect to the market, in this case represented by the S&P 500 index. If the Beta is equal to 1 it means that the company has a risk very similar to the market. If it is higher than 1 it means that it is more risky, if it is lower than 1 it is less risky. Values ​​above 2 indicate companies with high volatility.
  • Correl.: represents the correlation between the performance of the company and the market (S&P 500 index). A value of 1 means that there is a perfect correlation and therefore when the market decreases then the company also decreases, the same goes for increase. A value less than 1 means that the company will have a performance not equal to that of the market. In the event of a negative correlation, the company will have an opposite trend to that of the market.
  • Maximum Drawdown: represents the maximum loss recorded by the company in the period of time indicated in the “Analysis Period”. In short, it represents the maximum loss that would have been incurred if the company shares were bought at the highest possible price and sold at the lowest possible price.
  • Avg. Loss: Indicates the average daily / weekly / monthly loss
  • Max. Loss: Indicates the maximum daily / weekly / monthly loss
