Stock Analysis

 

Investing in stocks needs a thorough review of financial data to determine a company’s genuine net value. This is often accomplished by reviewing the company’s income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. This can be tedious and time-consuming. It is easier to determine a company’s performance by examining its financial ratios, which help to make sense of the massive quantity of information contained in its financial statements.

 

Here are a few crucial tools that every investor’s research process must include.

 

• PE ratio: Price to Earnings ratio, which reflects how much an investor is prepared to pay every rupee of earnings. As a rule of thumb, stocks with a low P/E ratio are undervalued (it depends on other factors too). The PE ratio for NTPC is 9,99, which is low and somewhat inexpensive.

 

• Return on Assets (ROA) entails the following: Return on Assets gauges a company’s ability to generate a profit from its investment in assets. In other words, ROA measures a company’s ability to turn the funds required to acquire assets into net income or profits. ROA of 4.47 percent for NTPC is a negative indicator of future success. (better standards are always preferred)

 

• Current ratio: The current ratio assesses the ability of a corporation to meet its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. A greater current ratio is desirable so that the corporation can withstand unanticipated business and economic fluctuations. The Current ratio for NTPC is 0.95.

 

• Return on equity gauges a company’s capacity to create profits from the investments of its shareholders. In other words, the return on equity ratio indicates the amount of profit generated per rupee of common stockholders’ equity. ROE for NTPC is 13.24%. (higher is preferable)

 

• The debt-to-equity ratio is a useful indicator for evaluating the financial structure and performance of a company. The D/E ratio of 1.35 for NTPC indicates that the company has a low amount of debt.

 

• Inventory turnover ratio: It measures the number of times an organization has sold and replaced its inventory during a given time period. NTPC’s Inventory turnover ratio of 12.44 demonstrates inadequate Inventory and working capital management on the part of management.

 

• Sales: NTPC has recorded a revenue increase of 17.13%, which is consistent with its growth and performance.

 

• Operating Margin: This reveals the operational effectiveness of the business. NTPC has an operating margin of 28.93% for the current fiscal year.

 

• Dividend Yield: Indicates the proportion of dividends paid to the price of the stock. NTPC’s dividend for the current year is Rs 7 and its yield is 4.19 percent.
