+Tips & Advice

  • Balance sheet vertical analysis makes it easy to see relative annual changes of the company’s assets, liabilities and equities.
  • Weak balance sheet and lack of free cash flow have negative impact on dividend.
  • Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business and is difficult to manipulate. When in doubt, follow the cash.
  • Earnings growth is always an increasing function of capex, asset turnover, EBIT margin and net debt to equity, and always a decreasing function of the dividend payout ratio.
  • Balance sheets with significant bank debt, bonds, pension fund deficits or future liabilities are the most common cause of investment disaster.
