MCap is a function of market sentiments. Balance sheet, cash flows, R&D execution, talent acquisition, regulatory compliance, M&As and so on....are a function of management/governance. Never mix the business with the stock. Stock is not the business. Business is not the stock :)

S1 : Majority NBE/NCE R&D projects fail. CDMO partner to that innovator "makes money in all failed" cases.

S2 : CDMO "may make larger money" in those lucky, successful (thin minority) cases, if the same #CDMO is retained as the manufacturing partner.

Monishaaa, ‘Bio-refineries’ bolo beta…
This ‘Sugar Mills’ is just too middle class!

Unseen rule 1 :: whatever be the reason, never justify the valuations of a rising stock price

Unseen rule 2 :: whatever be the reason, never defend the quality/reason of a falling stock price

Unseen rule 3 :: never react in an impulsive manner to a rising/falling stock price

Paraphrasing @tusharbohra on @IIC_Conference today ::

"If 10 commodity companies are doing capex at the same time, it signals a peak. If 10 companies in Chemicals/API/Pharma are doing capex in different products at the same time - it probably signals the start of a New Era" 🇮🇳🇮🇳

1⃣

Price to Earnings (#PE) ratio, also known as price multiple or earnings multiple is the ratio obtained by dividing the current share price by earnings per share (#EPS).

#StockMarket #Investing #FundamentalAnalysis

2⃣

P/E ratio is a reflection of the market's opinion of the earnings capacity & future business prospects of a company.

Companies which enjoy high investor confidence & have a higher market standing usually command high P/E ratio.

3⃣

On the face, it would seem that companies with low P/E ratios would offer most attractive investment opportunities. This is not always true.

Companies with high current earnings but dim future prospects often have low P/E ratio.

4⃣

As an #investor your primary concern is with future prospects of a company & not so much with its present performance.

This is why companies with low current earnings but bright future prospects usually command high P/E ratio.

Accounting is the language of business.

If you buy stocks, you MUST learn how to read a Cash Flow Statement.

Here’s everything you need to know:

The cash flow statement shows how cash moves in and out of a company over a period of time.

The most common time periods are:
▪️1 Quarter
▪️1 Year
▪️Year-to-date (usually 6 or 9 months)

The time period is at the top. Here's $NFLX recent cash flow statement time period.

Some companies show the cash flow statement in their earnings press release, but many don’t.

You can find the cash flow statement by looking at:
▪️10-Q (Quarterly Report)
▪️10-K (Annual Report)
▪️Fnancial aggregators such as @theTIKR,
@CMLviz, @themotleyfool, @YahooFinance

There are three main segments to a cash flow statement.

1. Operating Activities
2. Investing Activities
3. Financing Activities

Companies get some leeway with how they breakout each segment, but they all follow this basic structure.

Let’s start with Operating Activities.

This segment STARTS with net income (the bottom number of the Income Statement).

It shows cash movements from all normal operational business activities.
