Understand the fundamentals
Plain-English rules of thumb for beginners — tap the to learn each one. Not investment advice.
How many years of profit you're paying for. Lower can mean cheaper — but a very low number can also signal trouble.
Pricey — the market expects high growth.
Price vs the company's net assets (book value). Under 1x means it trades below what it owns on paper.
High — you're paying a big premium over assets.
How efficiently the company turns shareholders' money into profit. Higher is better.
Strong — uses your capital efficiently.
Of every $100 in sales, how much becomes actual profit. Higher = more profitable business.
Thin — little profit left after costs.
Annual cash the company pays you, as a % of the share price. Not better or worse — just a different kind of return.
Pays you cash while you hold.
These signals are simple, sector-agnostic rules of thumb (a “good” P/E for a bank differs from a tech firm). Use them to learn what to look at — not as buy/sell calls.
