Details on each step before making Buy Decision!
Step 1: Is the business Good?
1.1 A business is good if its earning more than its cost of capital, essentially - one of the return on capital metrics - roa, roe, roce >= 10% (should be greater than cost of capital)
1.1.1 Tip: Great businesses have return on capital >=15%
1.2 A business is good if its able to maintain its margins for a good period of time, thus maintaining its moat
1.2.1 Tip:High Gross Margin business are good as they perform better during inflationary times
1.2.2 Tip:Great business have >=20% margins OR they are a low cost producer of a commodity like Amazon, Costco, Walmart but with significant sales/revenue numbers
1.3 Revenue Growth is very important, that will help make it a X Bagger, is it growing above or below GDP growth rate 2% or more
1.4 NetIncome, OperatingIncome growth should also be similar to the Revenue Growth, this shows moat
1.5 Make sure company has a good financial historical record atleast for 10 years
1.6 Return on Tangible Capital : Work in Progress(WIP)
1.7 Return on Incremental Capital : Work in Progress(WIP)
1.8 Dilution/Stock Based compensation(sbc) impact - is the share count maintained or decreasing [understand stock splits, they are OK, nothing wrong there]
Step 2: Is the stock Cheap?
2.1 What is the current enterprise value if you want to buy it full (this includes marketcap plus debt)
2.2 What is the yield on the stock as compared to Fixed Investment/Bank CD/(Risk Free Rate)? does it have better yield than SPY (market index)
2.3 - Reverse DCF
2.4 - Expectations : Work in Progress(WIP)
2.5 - Compare with similar peers and SPY 500 index compare ALC with SPY and V
Step 3: Is the management Good?
TBD : this report is Work in Progress(WIP)
3.1 Margins and Revenue growth tell us whether management is doing a good job or not
3.2 What is the Skin in the Game for the management, How much % of stock ownership does founders and C suite leadership have
Step 4: If this sounds like a good investment, the final puzzle is Why is market valuing it cheap?
TBD : this report is Work in Progress(WIP)
4.1 This will require a good amount of research and will need a journalist/scuttle butt mentality
4.2 We recommend understanding business segment kpis, geographical split, reading 10K, 10Q filings
4.3 hearing atleast 2 investor call to understand management and what analyst are focussing on, if available for the company
4.4 Typically a lot of homework has to be done before making a position
Step 5: How many stocks to Buy/Sell? aka Position Sizing or Portfolio Construction
5.1 The next step is Position Sizing, if you are not comfortable, start with 0.1% portfolio weight and slowly ramp to 1% buying on dips [not crossing more than 3%]
5.2 if you are super comfortable, start with 0.5% portfolio weight and ramping to 1% buying on dips [not crossing more than 5%]
