(Revenue model) - Who are its main customers / market? - What's its rough competitive position? (Leader / challenger / niche player) **Competitive position signal:** - **Leader**: >20% market share, pricing power, brand or network moat - **Challenger**: Growing share, lower margins, competing on price or innovation - **Niche**: Small TAM, specialized, defensible but limited scale ### Step 2: Financial Trend (3-Year Snapshot) Pull the last 3 years of data and assess direction: | Metric | Year -2 | Year -1 | TTM | Trend | |--------|---------|---------|-----|-------| | Revenue ($B) | | | | ↑ / ↓ / → | | Gross Margin (%) | | | | ↑ / ↓ / → | | Operating Margin (%) | | | | ↑ / ↓ / → | | Net Income ($M) | | | | ↑ / ↓ / → | | EPS | | | | ↑ / ↓ / → | **What good looks like:** - Revenue growing consistently (even slow and steady beats erratic) - Gross margin stable or expanding (pricing power signal) - Operating leverage: margins expanding faster than revenue growth **Red flags to note:** - 🚩 Revenue growing but margins shrinking (price competition or cost spiral) - 🚩 Net income diverging from operating income (financial engineering) - 🚩 EPS growth driven by buybacks, not earnings growth ### Step 3: Valuation Check **Key multiples:** | Multiple | Value | Sector Context | Signal | |---------|-------|----------------|--------| | P/E (Forward) | | ~15-25× for S&P avg | Cheap / Fair / Pricey | | EV/EBITDA | | ~10-15× for S&P avg | Cheap / Fair / Pricey | | P/S (Revenue) | | Varies widely | — | **Rough valuation read:** - P/E < sector median AND growth is solid → potentially undervalued - P/E > 2× sector median → priced for perfection; verify growth justifies it - No earnings / negative EPS → use P/S or EV/Revenue instead **Growth-adjusted check (PEG ratio):** PEG = Forward P/E ÷ Earnings growth rate - PEG < 1.0 → Potentially cheap relative to growth - PEG 1.0-2.0 → Fairly valued - PEG > 2.0 → Expensive relative to growth ### Step 4: Balance Sheet Flag Quick health check — doesn't require a full model: - **Net Debt / EBITDA**: Under 2× = healthy. Over 4× = levered, watch carefully. - **Cash position**: How many quarters of operating expenses does the cash cover? - **Interest coverage** (EBIT / Interest): Under 3× = stress territory.
