Financial Analysis
In this part of our analysis, we are going to evaluate some of the key ratios that are indicating the
performance of the company’s operations, their profitability, valuation and liquidity. The ratios of the 10
stocks are listed below:

Average of 26 Quarters Net Income Book Value Per Current

(2016 Q1-2022 Q2) Return On Assets Margin Share Ratio
Apple 18.59 22.16 5.25 1.28
Disney 6.63 11.34 38.90 0.99
Microsoft 13.37 29.12 13.76 2.73
T-Mobile 3.31 6.15 34.81 0.98
SalesForce 2.59 2.62 0.97 28.64
Adobe 15.56 28.11 21.29 1.52
Boeing 2.58 1.62 -9.11 1.23
Coca-Cola 7.43 24.22 4.87 1.16
Domino's Pizza 33.39 10.54 -71.31 1.59
Occidental Petroleum -2.73 4.98 22.86 1.24

The return on assets shows the percentage of how profitable a company’s assets to generate revenue.
When we consider the ratios, we can see that the Domino’s Pizza has performed best, and Occidental
Petroleum has performed worse during the indicated time frame. The reason for that may stem from the
assets of Domino’s. Since it is a pizza restaurant chain that franchises its services, company can sustain
high return even if it doesn’t have as much as assets. However, as a company that operates in oil and gas
sector, Occidental Petroleum operates in a very volatile sector that requires huge amount of
investments. Therefore, company’s performance is highly dependent of the price of the commodities
and the current conjuncture.

The net income margin measures how much net income or profit is generated as a percentage of
revenue. In this segment, Microsoft and Adobe is leading companies while Boeing struggles. There may
be couple reasons of it. Firstly, the revenue of the companies might have been changed. Secondly, the
cost of the companies might have been increased or decreased during the time period. In either case, as
being software companies, Microsoft and Adobe outperformed the rest of the stocks.

Book value per share is the ratio of equity available to common shareholders divided by the number
of outstanding shares. In general, a ratio below 1 is considered as a good investment opportunity by the
value investors. However, tech companies may have misleading book value per share ratios since their
asset values are including many intangibles, such as software. Here, we can see that Disney and T-Mobile
are among the most valued shares. Therefore, SalesForce’s ratio is 0.97, which is considered as an
investable security by value investors.

The current ratio is a liquidity indicator that measures whether a firm has enough resources to meet its
short-term obligations. A current ratio below 1 is generally considered as an attention zone. Among our
10 companies, Disney and T-Mobile seem to be the most illiquid companies that may face with liquidity
problems in the future. On the other hand, a greater ratio does not mean better. SalesForce, with its
current ratio of 28.64, might be missing potential investment opportunities since it holds too much liquid
assets.
