Value And P/E

         In Assam, we have seen that lots of people talk about the stock price but no one is concerned about the valuation of the company. Everybody is talking about "aji 100 asil kaile 110 hoi jabo"; " abbe 2000 eta share r dam emn dami company kom dami share ko" . But the main thing is not the price of the share; it is all about the valuation of the company. No one is interested in reading a line about what the fucking P/E, P/B, ROE, and ROCE are ?

         Let's first look at the "dami share kom dami share" concept. Consider A and B to be two companies. A has a $100 share price and B has a $2,000 share price. Which one is "dami share kom dami share"?? Just think for a moment .If A having number of share 400 and B having number of share 20. In both cases, the market capitalization of both companies will be the same. 

Market Cap= Share price x number of share

 

For Company A=100x400=40,000

For Company B=2000x20=40,000

            It shows that it is not about the price of the share; it is all about the market cap of the company. I don’t know much about the market, if I scale my market knowledge on a scale of 0-10 , I will score less than 1. But this one is a simple concept that anyone can understand. If you ask me, I would choose Company B because the number of shares is lower, so liquidity is lower, and traders will avoid such stocks, which will help the company weather the turbulent market conditions.

            Let's see which one is the most expensive. Consider another scenario for these two companies: they both have the same market capitalization of $40,000 but make different profits. Let company A make $3,000 in profit and company B make $8,000 in profit. Then I will prefer company A. Now check how the P/E of these companies will express it.

Here for A

Market Cap=40,000

Share price=100

No of share= 400

Profit =3000

 

        Fist we have to calculate Profit per share, that is Earning Per Share(EPS)= total profit/no of share=3000/400=7.5

  Now the P/E, which is Price to earning Ratio, P/E= Share price/EPS=100/7.5=13.33

 

Here for B

Market Cap=40,000

Share price=2000

No of share= 20

Profit =1800

 

    Fist we have to calculate Profit per share, that is Earning Per Share(EPS)= total profit/no of share=1800/20=90

    Now the P/E, which is Price to earning Ratio, P/E= Share price/EPS=2000/90=22.22

 

        Here In the case of two companies with the same market cap but different profits, we can tell which one is undervalued by looking at its P/E ratio. So it is necessary to see the P/E before investing in any company.

Now the next thing comes that how-to analysis P/E… In Next

Opportunity Cost

Mistakes are an integral part of our life, and when it comes to the stock market, these are even more common. The goal is to reduce these mistakes as much as possible. I have  missed several opportunities in the last 3-4 years that had cost me to gain a significant amount of money. When I look back, I regret not recognizing those opportunities at the right time. The Case of Zomato: A Lesson in Hesitation One of the biggest opportunity costs I have paid was missing out on Zomato . When Zomato launched its IPO, I was completely uninterested due to its high valuation and lack of profitability. I started tracking it from its listing price of ₹126 , but I found the valuation too high for a serious investment. From July 2021 , the stock began to decline, reaching ₹40-50 . I observed it closely, analyzing its balance sheet multiple times. I still remember listening to Samir Arora in an interview mentioning that Zomato was a good buy at that price. At that moment, I was 80% convinced that...

Compounding L to Cr

Initially, the magic of compounding cannot be seen in a small portfolio. It begins to display its magic once it reaches a certain level. All that is necessary for that is penitence, discipline, and an optimistic mind. Many negative factors can come, but being invested in the market can make a great deal of money.      Let's move on to the primary topic. When we reach 10L, we begin to observe its outcome. The rule of 72 states that if we have a 24% compound annual return, we can double our money in 3 years ( To know the rule of 72, click  here   ) . I know that 24% a year is not an easy task for regular people, but it is not impossible. Such a return is easily achievable if someone invests their time and energy and is truly passionate about it.      Let's say on 10L we get a 24% return. Then, after a year, we will get using the compounding formula,           Here, P= 10,00,000/-       ...

Management

I think in investing, identifying the management is one of the toughest steps I generally face. Identifying the right management is one of the longest processes. No one can identify the management in a week or months. Sometimes it takes years and years for people like me. Every time, a hidden fear appears within me, as if I misidentified the management or paid the wrong price. I know that making mistakes is normal in the equity market. I made lots of mistakes in the past and have made new mistakes. As time passes by, I am just trying to improve myself and become more conscious so that I will not repeat those mistakes that I have made in the past.      I think that management is one of the most important parts of equity investing. If I pass this step, then I think my majority of work is done. Management is like a driver for me. Let's say I have to go from one place to another. Only a perfect driver will know which road is best, which road will use less fuel, or wh...
