Its National People’s Congress (“NPC”) Standing Committee also approved China’s first Environmental Protection Tax (“EPT”) Law, which will replace the existing pollutant discharge fee system with a pollution tax as the main economic tool regulating environmental pollution by businesses.

Return on Equity
Dupont ROE analysis - Profit Margin x Asset Turnover x Financial Leverage
ROE = Net Income/Net Sales x Net Sales/Total Asset x  Total Asset x Common Equity

3) Valuation Models
1) DDM  = V=D(1+g)/(Re-g)
i) Requires consistent Dividend policy and payout
ii) Gorgon constant Growth model
iii) Good to value mature companies with stable growth, profit, dividend growth
iv) Not good to value companies prone to macroeconomic and cyclical factors, large fluctuation in profits and dividend growth

2) FCFE
Net Profit After tax
- (CAPEX-dep exp)(1-debt ratio)
- (Change in working capital)(1-debt ratio)
= FCFE

i) Estimate of Equity Capital Usage, Determine whether Dividend and stock repurchases is paid via free cash flow or other financing methods. If FCFE > Dividend payment and cost to buy back shares, Company is using debt of existing capital for share buyback, essentially propping up share price.
ii) Good to value growth companies and start-ups with no dividends.
iii) Cannot value companies with drastic change in working capital.
iv) focus on net profit after tax, ignore cash flow issues such as investments in fixed assets, net borrowings and working capital.



3) Price Earnings Ratio = Market P / Earnings per share
i) Must have consistent earnings and growth, take average of 4 quarters
ii) Use to compare companies within same industry, Low P/E undervalued and great performance, High P/e investors expect high earnings growth
iii) Essential to do Dupont analysis, Can be manipulated by increasing leverage
iii) Not good to Value start-ups, loss making, unstable profits or growth focused company.
iv) Not good to value economies with high inflation, insufficient discounting factors time value of money


4) Price per book value = Market P / Book Value
i) Low P / BV = undervalued or fundamental weakness, how much is company worth after liquidating everything
ii) Only use to compare with companies in same industry, with positive book value, short run negative earnings
iii) Not Good for Companies focusing on Branding and Goodwill (BAML), change in accounting methodology, Comparison across countries, Change in technology, change in asset prices (depreciation, amortisation, appreciation), inflation or present market of assets, improved products and services.
iv) Not good for technology companies (No fixed assets) and consistent loss making companies.


5) Price Sales ratio = Market P / Sales per share
i) Less Prone to Accounting manipulations, Low P/S undervalued or not profitable
ii) Only compare between close competitors, when company no P/E ratio or no earnings.
iii) Good to value start-ups, growth companies, unprofitable companies at mature phase
iv) Not good as it ignores expenses and liabilities

4) Buy / Sell Decision
1) Fundamental Target Price Range
2) Consider Support Resistance Lines
3) Consider Technical Analysis input by POEMS
4)Consider Analyst consensus opinion, Favouring stocks with minimal analyst coverage

5) Buffet Valuation Checklist
Business Tenets
1) Is business simple and understandable? (choose companies within your circle of competence, not the size of the circle but rather how defined are its parameters)
2) Does Business have consistent operating history? (Operating performance, Cash Flow especially for SME)
3) Does business have favourable Long term Prospects? (American Steel industries decline, avoid commodities, Porter's 5 forces - choose franchises that products are needed and desired, with no close substitutes, unregulated, quality, weak competitors.  branding / quality allowing company to retain market and pricing power to pass on costs to consumers)

Management Tenets
4) Is management rational and track record of competence? (SMRT clowns)
5) Does business have strong track record and consistent good leadership and management (management changes, adopting of technology, recognition of fundamental changes in economy)
6) Does management resist institutional imperative? (Manager Mismanagement and inertia to change)

  • The organisation resists any change whatsoever in its current direction, and will seize upon any evidence that they are doing the right thing while fastidiously ignoring evidence to the contrary.
  • Just as work expands to fill time, and waistlines expand to fill belts, projects and acquisitions will materialise to soak up all available capital.
  • Any business plan of the CEO, however stupid it may be, will receive immediate support from a legion of lackeys who will produce copious data and detailed rate of return and strategic studies to support the boss's thesis.
  • The behaviour of peer companies, irrespective of differences in circumstances, whether they are acquiring, expanding, setting dividend policy, downsizing, putting the troops through customer service training or setting executive compensation will be immediately and thoughtlessly copied.
  • Poor capital management skills. Buffet buying over entire companies to decide financing policy )
Financial Tenets
7) What is the ROE? (Revenue, Expenses, Cash Flow, Labour relations, pricing flexibility, capital allocation needs). Look out for cash flow, indebtness  and changes in interest rates
8) What is the company's owner earnings?
9) What are the operating margins?
10) Has company created at least 1 dollar of market value for every dollar retained?
Value Tenets
11) What is the value of the company (Intrinsic, Book, Market).  Buy a good company at an undervalued Price. Buy a very good company at a fair price as good companies are closely monitored
12) Can it be purchased as significant discount to its value? (undervalued, Very good prospects / projects)
