Competitiveness and MOAT

High margins render the company resilient under dire circumstances, hence able to drive competitors out or acquire them. ROE and ROA measure the average flow generated by each invested dollar. Their marginal value is a forecast of future growth, and it is considered by Buffett and Munger the most important single indicator.

Bad Net Margins (1.07%)

Net Margins are too low to guarantee profitability in case of higher costs or higher interest rates. Furthermore lower margins cause higher earnings’ volatility.

Safety and Stability

Being debt the number one cause of investment losses and company death, the ratio Debt/FCF is of utmost importance to guarantee safety. On the other hand the Graham’s stability measures the drawdown of earnings, hence indicating the reliability of the flow generated by the company.

Years	12/2019	12/2020	12/2021	12/2022	12/2023	TTM
Debt over FCF	-	70.69	19.96	-11.79	-8.33	-27.93
Debt over Equity	-	2.01	1.49	1.7	3.32	2.94
Growth Stability	-	-	-	100%	-5K%	-5K%

The company is overleveraged and has a bad balance between equity and debt.

Bad Graham’s Stability (-5K%)

Growth

Growth can be dangerous when forecasting, simply projecting the current growth is in general wrong. A company passes through multiple phases, from being young and unprofitable, to the first periods of profitability and high growth, until it arrives at a period of regime with limited growth. Identifying in which phase the company is in may help forecasting.
