@Channa_Amare Another important question is why the bank is asking for a rights issue closely following an important merger. The next few quarters’ results could show the outcome of the NTB and HSBC retail merger.

We could be in for some surprises.

Track the following numbers closely: energy cost ÷ total operating cost, and whether that ratio is climbing.

Cheap energy isn't coming back fast. Knowing who depends on it can help guide your decisions.

Remember, your capital is limited - know the risks.

Energy's getting expensive and harder to come by in Sri Lanka and it's quietly reshaping which companies stay profitable.

The catch: almost none of them show energy as its own cost line.

Here's how to spot who's actually exposed 🧵

Check 3 - Watch gross margin through 2022–23.

The fuel crisis and tariff hikes were a natural stress test. Whoever's margin got crushed then and recovered when tariffs were cut is your energy-dependent name.

@Channa_Amare @Neerajan_S Thanks for highlighting this.
Yes, WAPO has now become a concentrated bet. I was highlighting the past valuation premium enjoyed by WAPO.

Dipped Products just posted a "fine" year.

Profit before tax: flat.
Assets: bigger.
Dividend: raised.
But return on equity fell from 12.2% to 10.1%.
Here's why the calm surface is misleading 🧵

@abdullahhb84 Hi, I use ROE and ROIC as the basic metrics for analysis. Analysis is based on public data. All assumptions are clearly mentioned in the videos. If you have any questions about the findings in the video, you can always comment and I will try my best to respond.

So is 10.1% ROE good enough?

Against a ~15.6% cost-of-equity hurdle, no.

Yet the market pays 0.98x book a price that only makes sense if the full bull case plays out. No margin for error.

@SethFromColombo A currency appreciation also bumps up the GDP value. Focus must be on future growth and the factors that will drive it.

Something that take many way too long to properly get: two companies can raise money the same way and still pay very different prices for it.

A lot of that gap hides in one detail of how tax works.

Why debt is quietly cheaper than equity 👇

So a company carrying debt isn't automatically reckless. Often it's just using a cheaper, tax-favoured source of money sensibly.

What matters is whether it earns more on that money than the money costs it.
