Unprecedented tailwinds for Proxies
@ItsVinay01 In a sector like solar, which is largely a commodity-style business, valuations tend to mean-revert once the hype phase is over. Up to 2024, the market has already assigned valuations factoring in the next 2โ3 years of expected growth.
@ItsVinay01 They have already priced in the solar theme. Waaree delivered multibagger returns during 2021โ2024, and at peak valuation it was trading close to 250x P/E, which shows the market had already discounted strong growth for the next few years.
@ItsVinay01 In TA terms, how do you objectively identify laggards and avoid false pullback entries?
Are there specific rules you use around relative strength vs index, 50/200DMA behavior, vols contraction/expansion or base quality that signal a stock is only โcallingโ but not worth entering?
10 Vital Things To Check Before Investing In Any Business Or Stock
Hereโs a practical checklist to level up your stock selection process-
1) Past Revenue Growth
Check revenue growth over the last 3โ5 years. Double-digit CAGR is preferred.
For cyclical companies โ study how they perform in upcycles and downcycles. Studying old cycles can give you a clue about how future ones might play out.
2) Competitive Intensity
How many players are there in the industry? The lesser the better. If there are a lot of players, check if everyone makes money or not? Competitive intensity matters a lot. Also check if the business you are studying has something unique like โ cost advantage, brand, distribution, etc.
3) Consistency Of Margins
Are the margins volatile or consistent? Check the margins of the last 10 years. If current margins are unusually high, donโt overpay. Margins eventually revert. Buy when theyโre expanding โ not peaking.
4) Operating Leverage
Look for companies where fixed costs are done & sales are now scaling. Capex cycles and management commentary will help you to spot this. Getting this right can lead to powerful re-ratings.
5) Check The Cash Flows
Is the company able to convert its EBITDA into cash flows? Some companies have epic income statements and profits. However, when you look at their cash flows, everything is stuck in the working capital. This is an important question to ask when looking at stocks.
6) Market Penetration
How much headroom is left to grow? If a product has >90% market penetration, growth might be limited. But companies creating new categories can grow exponentially.
7) Focus On Volume Growth
Revenue = Price ร Volume
The best quality of growth is when the number of units sold or volumes sold keeps going up. Double digit volume growth over an extended period of time can lead to big winners in the stock market.
8) B2C > B2B > B2G
Generally B2C valuations are > B2B Valuations > B2G Valuations. Thus, if you see consumption businesses growing at double digits, do not ignore them!
9) Margin Of Safety
Have a Margin Of Safety or be cautious of the valuations you are paying for a stock. You can be right on all the things but one can forget that sometimes accidents happen. At high prices, small mistakes might lead to derating of PE Ratio. A great business bought at the wrong price may prove to be a bad investment.
10) Learn Stage Analysis
Learning Stage Analysis is a blessing for fundamental investors who are good at valuing companies. It will help you to understand where the stock is in its cycle.
Few books which can help you to understand the cycle of a stock from fundamental and technical perspective- 1) Understanding Michael Porter by Joan Magretta, 2) Capital Returns by Edward Chancellor and 3) Secrets For Profiting In Bull and Bear Markets from Stan Weinstein.
Hope this post gave you a rough checklist to evaluate stocks better!
