Since the debate on 'What is quality' is never ending, here is a thread on few points that I feel useful in judging if the company is a quality company or not.

Have a look at the entire thread & please add more useful points from your end.

Please RT for wider participation.

Quality company - Point 1

- Management has never been into any corporate governance issue so far & sounds so clean that it may never get into any corporate governance issue in future too.
Quality company - Point 2

- Besides corporate governance & beyond the company, management has never been into any wrong doings in the public domain, viz. any fraud or criminal activity.
Quality company - Point 3

- Management doesn't come too often on media, into investor meets, meet 1-1 with investors.

Such management focus on business rather than investors.
Quality company - Point 4

- Management doesn't grow business too aggressively.

Conservative management with a milestone based approach helps better in long run.
Quality company - Point 5

- With the ageing of management, there is a visible succession plan.

The next generation entrepreneurs, either from family or outside, should be aligned well with the company objectives.
Quality company - Point 6

- An untimely acquisition, expansion to excess capacity, expanding into areas of less expertise, expanding into over crowded geographies.

If management doing any of these, needs to be understood deep.

Management should not be over confident.
Quality company - Point 7

- Growing the company at the cost of debt may not work always.

Management should be efficient in containing costs & managing debt.

Debt free companies with reasonable promoter stake & zero pledging are safe & sound.
Quality company - Point 8

- Management should be stakeholder friendly.

There should be respectable dividend payout out of the profits.

If any unforeseen accident in company, employees should be well taken care of and Business customers should be well informed.
Quality company - Point 9

- Management should answer every question asked during AGM / conference calls with a satisfactory closure.

Leaving questions opened is not a good sign.
Quality company - Point 10

- Management should be good in managing competition thru continued research & innovation.

Good companies are trend starters rather than trend followers.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
