Investment Analysis Report: VSAT and his peers

Overview:

Below you'll find an AI powered output based on the selected companies for comparison. If you change the companies, the output will be re-calculated.

For the analysis we decided to use Graham (father of value investing) as inspiration, the comparison is structured and oriented as the writer did to compare companies back in his times in the chapter 13 of the famous book The Intelligent Investor.

1. Profitability

(a) From the table we can see that 2 companies out of 3 show satisfactory earnings on their invested capital.

And all of these companies: ANET, AAPL show very high values of profitability above 30%

A high rate of return on tangible book value often goes along with a high annual growth rate in earnings per share. Mainly due to the fact that the management seems to be qualified to assign invested capital to profitable businesses and make earnings grow over time.

(b) Profit margins are usually an indication of comparative strength or weakness. But it tends to fluctuate based on several factors which can lead to two types of higher-than-average margins: temporary margins caused by external factors (like rises in commodity prices that the company produce due to temporary high demand or temporary low offer), and competitive advantages which stem from the intrinsic company and firm-specific factors.

We define companies with net profit margins of over 20% as having very high margin.

2 companies out of 3 show very high margins. These are: ANET, AAPL.

2. Stability

Regarding stability of earnings, 2 companies out of 3 have reported positive net income in all of the last 10 years with available statements.

These are the companies from the table above that have always reported positive Net Income: ANET, AAPL.

Stability is not only about positive or negative profits, it's also about volatility of earnings and number of years of observations (number of available annualized income statements). The table below summarize the stability of the earnings showing 3 key metrics: Maximum drop in net profits, number of years out of number of years with available financials with negative trend (% change is negative) and average net profit change.
