High level decisions on buy or sell for a stock should be driven by
1. The margin that the company makes. i.e. Out of $1 that the company sells how much does the company taken home.
-
- Here we see UNITED TECHNOLOGIES makes a margin of 13% on Gross Level and about 8.5% on Net level This means that out of $1 that it makes $0.085 is being pocketed as profits.
2. The growth rates of the company on revenue, net income, EPS and Dividend. i.e. If it sold $1 last year how much more did it sell this year.
-
- Here we see UNITED TECHNOLOGIES grew at an good rate of 10% in the revenue but the net profit declined by 6%.
3. The efficiency ratios of the company on Equity and Assets. i.e. How well is the company able to sweat each $1 that it puts to work in the company.
-
- Here we see UNITED TECHNOLOGIES makes a Return on Assets of 5% and Return of Equity of 16% which is pretty good.
Here we see that UNITED TECHNOLOGIES scores poorly on the growth front and also has a high Debt/Equity. Hence we would avoid investing in such companies.
