...Ratios and Formulas in Customer Financial Analysis Financial statement analysis is a judgmental process. One of the primary objectives is identification of major changes in trends, and relationships and the investigation of the reasons underlying those changes. The judgment process can be improved by experience and the use of analytical tools. Probably the most widely used financial analysis technique is ratio analysis, the analysis of relationships between two or more line items on the financial statement. Financial ratios are usually expressed in percentage or times. Generally, financial ratios are calculated for the purpose of evaluating aspects of a company's operations and fall into the following categories: * liquidity ratios measure a firm's ability to meet its current obligations. * profitability ratios measure management's ability to control expenses and to earn a return on the resources committed to the business. * leverage ratios measure the degree of protection of suppliers of long-term funds and can also aid in judging a firm's ability to raise additional debt and its capacity to pay its liabilities on time. * efficiency, activity or turnover ratios provide information about management's ability to control expenses and to earn a return on the resources committed to the business. A ratio can be computed from any pair of numbers. Given the large quantity of variables included in financial statements, a very long list of meaningful ratios can be derived...

...Asia Pacific Equity Research 08 October 2007 Company visit note Vinamilk: Leading consumer play VNM is the leading dairy producer in Vietnam with major market shares in all categories. 1H07 net profit grew 36% Y/Y, driven partially by financial investment (26% of net profit). Net profit margin was 18.3%, a significant improvement over 1H06 due to financial income and larger shares of higher-margin products. Key takeaways from the meeting • VNM leads the local dairy market with dominant market shares in all dairy products, a well-known brand name, factories in major regions, and a nationwide distribution network. • VNM plans a US$100m expansion program for 3 new dairy factories, a milk cow farm and diversification into beer and coffee, which could enhance its leading market position. But risks have emerged as VNM is diversifying into property and financial investments. • The stock trades at a premium to the general HSTC market on a historical FY06 P/E of 44.7x. FY07/FY08 forecasts by PXP AM put the company on prospective P/Es of 31.4X and 24.2X, respectively. In absolute terms, VNM’s share price has increased 17.6% in the past month and 139.7% over the year. But on a relative basis, the stock has underperformed VNINDEX in the past 1 month and 3 months by 0.6% and 3.2%, respectively.

...measurement of firm performance Prior research predicts that net earnings will be substantially impacted by expense recognition. it was predicted that recognition of SBC costs could lower the reported earnings by as much as 50% and would adversely affect stock prices (Berton, 1993).A study by R.G. Associates Inc. found that in the year 2000, stock options overstated the earnings of the S&P companies by 9% (Geewax, 2002). For 2001, the average earnings of S&P companies would have been 23% lower if options were expensed (Weil & Segal, 2002). Botosan and Plumlee (2001) examined the effect of stock option expense on diluted EPS and Return on Assets (ROA) of 100 high growth US companies Based on an assessment of the SFAS 123 disclosures, these authors report that stock option expense has a material impact on diluted EPS and ROA for a majority of their sample companies. They also note that expensing of stock-based compensation is void if the financial impact of doing so is immaterial. Financial press reports suggest that Australian firms’ reported profits could be “collectively stripped of hundreds of millions in reported net profit” if accounting standards require the expensing of employee options ((2002) (August), p. 15.Oldfield, 2002). Merrill Lynch (Revell, 2004) reports that the average reduction in S&P 500 firms’ 2001 (2002) reported earnings would be 21% (23%) if stock options were expensed. More recent research also finds similar results. Using stock option...

Gould, CFA Adam.Gould@morganstanley.com US Equity Strategy The 2013 Playbook We are launching our 2013 US equity outlook today. We have been cautious on US equities for much of the last two years. Our concerns around US deficit / debt and the obvious borrowing from the future that occurs from unconventional policy, the European sovereign crisis, and slower growth in emerging markets generally remain, but the acuteness of these issues appears for now to be less sharp. Our 2013 year-end target calls for low-to-mid single digit upside (Exhibit 1) predicated on our view that 2014 corporate earnings are likely to modestly recover from our 2013 forecasted level, perhaps with profits troughing during the April 2013 earnings season. Our year-end 2013 S&P500 price target is 1434, and our bull and bear targets are 1733 and 1135 (Exhibit 1). Our EPS outlook for 2014 is $110.21, up from our 2013 forecast of $98.71, both well below consensus. Improving Michigan Confidence and tightening corporate spreads drive the relative improvement in our earnings outlook.

...Equity Research Industrials | U.S. Autos & Auto Parts 12 February 2015 Tesla Motors Inc. Another reminder of challenges ahead EQUAL WEIGHT Stock Rating Unchanged NEUTRAL Industry View 4Q print validated concern that crossing the chasm is tougher than it looks: Last week we caught the ire of Tesla bulls by lowering our estimates based on concerns about production delays and rising opex and capex (see “Crossing the chasm is tougher than it looks”). The 4Q print validated many of those concerns. Behind an EPS loss of 13c vs. consensus +30c were several soft spots – Tesla missed 4Q deliveries and guided softly for 1Q’15, ZEV credits artificially boosted results, opex grew faster than expected, and capex was guided well ahead of our conservative model. The result reinforces that Tesla’s push to become a mass market OEM is much harder than it looks. We reiterate our EW rating and remain cautious on the stock near-term. Unchanged USD 190.00 Price Target lowered -5% from USD 200.00 Price (11-Feb-2015) USD 212.80 Potential Upside/Downside -11% Tickers TSLA 26681 Shares Outstanding (mn) Don’t get caught up with ambitious mid/long-term targets…: Despite the weak quarter, there was enough to keep the die-hard bulls interested.

...31% by sales, and only 9% by marketing. Yet CRM is, ultimately, a tool for gauging customer needs and behaviors—the new customer department’s central role. It makes little sense for the very data required to execute a customer-cultivation strategy to be collected and analyzed outside the customer department. Of course, bringing CRM into the customer department means bringing IT and analytic skills in as well. Market research. The emphasis of market research changes in a customer-centric company. First, the internal users of market research extend beyond the marketing department to all areas of the organization that touch customers—including fi nance (the source of customer payment options) and distribution (the source of delivery timing and service). Second, the scope of analysis shifts from an aggregate view to an individual view of customer activities and value. Third, market research shifts its attention to acquiring the customer input that will drive improvements in customer-focused metrics such as CLV and customer equity. Research and development. When a product is more about clever engineering than customer needs, sales can suff er. For example, engineers like to pack lots of features into products, but we know that customers can suff er from feature fatigue, which hurts future sales. To make sure that product decisions refl ect realworld needs, the customer must be brought into the design process. Integrating R&D and marketing is a good...
