Fundamental Considerations
* Overview: Does the overall financial structure of the company make sense for its industry? If not, compare it to other companies to find out what's going on. * Current Ratio: Over 2.0 or in line with industry averages and stable over time gets a thumbs up; relatively low and declining gets a big thumbs down. * Price-to-Book Value: In line with the industry average is neutral; significantly higher suggests the stock is overvalued; significantly lower (or even less than 1.0) indicates an undervalued opportunity. * Debt-to-Equity Ratio: Strict value adherents only buy companies with a ratio under 1.0; others are content if the figure is within industry averages. * EPS Growth: Earnings that are steadily increasing over time at a respectable rate get passing grades; otherwise, think hard about the long-term prospects of such a firm. * Profit Margin: Steadily increasing profit margins get the thumbs up; declining margins are the sign of a struggling company. * Interest Coverage Ratio: A figure of 3 to 4 is the bare minimum. Anything higher and you're in good shape. * P/E Ratio: No absolutes here. A low one relative to the industry or historical averages is the sign of a good value, assuming other areas check out.
