their historical returns on a single chart—alongside a benchmark index—enabling smarter, data-driven
investment decisions.
Key Financial Metrics Explained
-
Market Capitalization (Market Cap):
Market cap represents the total market value of a company's outstanding shares. It is
calculated
by multiplying the share price by the number of shares outstanding. Market cap helps
investors
gauge the size and stability of a company, with large-cap stocks often being more stable and
small-cap stocks offering higher growth potential but with increased risk.
-
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio:
The P/E ratio measures a company's current share price relative to its per-share earnings.
It is
a widely used valuation metric that helps investors determine whether a stock is overvalued
or
undervalued compared to its earnings. A lower P/E may indicate a bargain, while a higher P/E
could suggest growth expectations or overvaluation.
-
Sales Growth:
Sales growth measures the percentage increase in a company's revenue over a specific period.
Consistent sales growth is often a sign of a healthy, expanding business and can be a strong
indicator of future profitability and stock performance.
-
EBIT Yield:
EBIT yield is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)
by
its enterprise value. This metric provides insight into how efficiently a company generates
profits from its operations relative to its total valuation, offering a more comprehensive
view
than P/E alone.
-
Dividend Yield:
Dividend yield is the annual dividend payment expressed as a percentage of the stock price.
It
reflects how much cash flow you are getting for each dollar invested in an equity position.
High
dividend yields can be attractive for income-focused investors, but extremely high yields
may
signal underlying company issues.
How These Criteria Relate to Future Stock Returns
-
Market Cap: Smaller companies often have more room to grow, potentially
leading
to higher returns, but they also carry greater risk. Large-cap stocks may offer stability
and
steady returns.
-
P/E Ratio: Historically, stocks with lower P/E ratios have tended to
outperform
overvalued peers, especially when combined with strong fundamentals. However, context
matters—growth stocks may justify higher P/E ratios.
-
Sales Growth: Strong and consistent sales growth often precedes earnings
growth, which can drive stock prices higher. However, it's important to ensure that growth
is
sustainable and not driven by one-off events.
-
EBIT Yield: A higher EBIT yield can indicate undervaluation and operational
efficiency, both of which are attractive to value investors seeking superior long-term
returns.
-
Dividend Yield: Companies with sustainable, growing dividends can provide
reliable income and signal financial health, contributing to total returns over time.
