    This is a great video. Before watching this video I always thought that the cash flow statement was the most important financial report but now I see why the balance sheet has more valuable information. It is important to calculate the current ratio to find out if a business can pay off its current liabilities immediately and the debt to equity ratio to find out if it is over leveraged.

    Hi Tim, your videos are awesome. Just wondering, are there any books in the market for stock investing that you would recommend? I would like to get a comprehensive guide. Of course if you think you can do a series of comprehensive videos on how to chose and value stocks that would be a lot better! Keep up the good job!

    Hello, absolutely LOVE your videos, thankyou so much for sharing them.
    I see your number 1 red flag is goodwill, I wonder what would be considered an acceptable good will amount. I.e. 10% shareholder equity, 20% etc...
    Obviously in this vide you say 2x shareholder equity is bad so where is the line roughly?
    Thankyou! :)

    So is Gearing a debt to shareholder equity ratio?

    • @andrewmaina8422
      @andrewmaina8422 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      More or less. It is like having credit card debt compared to how much equity/personal income you have. The more the gearing, in this case, the more the credit card debt you have compared to your income/equity, the higher the risk you won't be able to pay off your credit card debt. Companies always look for an optimal level of gearing but I would want to say "optimal" is dependent on the Directors. The same way your optimal level of debt could be different to your friend's optimal level of debt.

    obviously your using hindsight, but your still wrong as you said people were buying/selling
    regardless of the red flags so someone made some money plus that is what happens if you buy stock for the long term which i think you suggest?

    I would've just looked at the FREE CASH FLOW and taken it as a red alarm.

  • @JassimArif
    @JassimArif 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I would think that the Cash Flow Statement (CFS) is the most important financial statement to analyse because it shows activities across the whole financial year whereas the Balance Sheet is a snapshot of just one day. I agree that profit and loss statements are not as important as the other two but I do think the CFS should be the first statement one looks at.
    In this particular example (based solely on this video), if you look at the INVESTING ACTIVITIES in the CFS, you will discover the various acquisitions made and how it was financed - Cash Flow from Operations (CFO) or Cash Flow from Financing (CFF). Since you said the acquisitions were made with cheap money, we would see an increase in CFF therefore an increase in gearing (the leverage would be determined by examining the balance sheet) and interest payments. Under CFO, we would be able to see the changes in working capital which lead to a current ratio of 0.5.
    Moreover, you can compare the CFO with Sales for a better measure.
    Thoughts?

  • @jackhill888
    @jackhill888 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is an interesting video. I am using accounting ratios to analyse some current companies at the moment. A lot seem to have current ratios of slightly below 1:1 and gearing of around 70-75%. GSK and Coca Cola are two that I have looked at recently that fall into this category.

    As American, I am not familiar with the balance sheet term 'good will'. Does it translate from GB to USA in any way? Is it like tax credits?

    • @ST-fk3jz
      @ST-fk3jz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Say a company has a building worth $80,000 on their balance sheet. Ludivico Ltd. buys the building for $100,000. On Ludivico's balance sheet, $80,000 would be added to Property Plant & Equipment (PP&E), and $20,000 is added to goodwill.
      Say Ludivico Ltd. bought the building for $120,000. Then goodwill would increase by $40,000.
      Basically, if you overpay for an asset then goodwill increases more. Which is a bad sign.

    • @13thCharacter
      @13thCharacter 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's called Goodwill in the US, too. For Example, Hain Celestial currently carries a Goodwill total over a billion, greater than 50% of their total market cap. Not as bad as the Southern Cross example, but bad enough to make me not buy.
