In order to find the low, in the sense, the price is the intrinsic value or the actual value of the company&#8217;s stock. <\/strong>Only when you know this will you ever realize whether you\u2019ve bought low or not. Hence, we do valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When doing valuation, there are three (3) prominent methods.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-wp-embed is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ndhhYBH0A2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/value-investing-the-charm-of-investing\/\">Value Investing &#8211; The charm of investing:<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Value Investing &#8211; The charm of investing:&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/value-investing-the-charm-of-investing\/embed\/#?secret=F93wlwcB7X#?secret=ndhhYBH0A2\" data-secret=\"ndhhYBH0A2\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intrinsic_Valuation\"><\/span><strong>Intrinsic Valuation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here we value the company based on its fundamentals, which are nothing but the balance sheet, the cash flow, the earnings growth, and the risk attached to it.<\/strong> We then compare these figures with standard metrics. For example, the ideal debt-to-equity ratio is less than 2. Now, if you check the debt-to-equity ratio of Supreme Industries Ltd., it is around 0.08, which is quite low. Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, there are a number of financial aspects, or ratios, to consider to arrive at the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But be sure to know that not all ratios apply to every company.<\/strong> For example, the investor turnover ratio tells us the rate at which a company&#8217;s inventory is sold, used, or replaced in a year. In the case of Supreme Industries, the inventory turnover for FY 2022 is 5.3. Anything in between 5 and 10 is considered good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, in the case of the IT industries or the BFSI industries, i.e., the banking, financial services, and insurance industries, there\u2019s no need for an inventory turnover ratio. Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, understand the business, and only then can you make use of the financial metrics in order to arrive at the intrinsic valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intrinsic valuation methodologies include discounted cash flow as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relative_valuation\"><\/span><strong>Relative valuation&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is the process of valuing a company based on its assets and liabilities and comparing it to its competitors to determine what valuation our company quotes in comparison to its peers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve written a detailed article explaining relative valuation.

Let\u2019s get on with the main topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Institutional_Ownership\"><\/span><strong>Institutional Ownership<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When we talk about the institutions, there are the mutual fund houses, the pension funds, the insurance companies, the investment firms, the private foundations, the endowment funds (like an investment portfolio, which is funded via donations), and then there are these large entities that manage funds on behalf of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Mr. Peter Lynch says is that in order to make huge returns in the market, you must invest in those companies before the institutional investors come in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get the point, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See, once institutional investors invest, it&#8217;s known to everybody. But, in order to make wealth-type money, you must get in before they do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to do it is by investing in small and midcap companies that are performing well and have not had many FIIs invest in them. Check out my article on small-cap companies. These are the companies in which I\u2019ve invested for the long term; you can check my portfolio using the link, <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/small-cap-investing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whether_insiders_are_buying\"><\/span><strong>Whether insiders are buying?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There is an unspoken secret. It&#8217;s that the management will always know something that you don\u2019t.<\/strong> So, usually, when the management is investing in their own company, &#8220;management&#8221; in this context refers to the promoters and key managerial figures who are investing in their own company by purchasing stocks on the open market. It is a definite good sign. So it&#8217;s worth looking at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For information regarding the promoter buying shares, you can just access it via the NSE website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check for insider trading, go to the NSE website, click on &#8220;LIST,&#8221; then &#8220;Corporate Filings,&#8221; and then &#8220;Insider Trading.&#8221; To check for stock buybacks, click on the &#8220;Daily Buy Back or Redemption&#8221; link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/open-account?c=PR4768\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#0f0027;background-color:#e4fa00\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Open Zerodha Account Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_earnings_growth_Are_earnings_volatile\"><\/span><strong>What is earnings growth? Are earnings volatile?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The stock price is a reactive indicator. which means the stock price of a company reacts to various internal factors such as management, debtors, creditors, etc., and external factors such as the industry, the economy, governance, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, the most prominent aspect that guides the stock price is its earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a company earns, investors yearn. which means, over the long term, only if the company earns investors&#8217; yearn. In the sense that they get interested in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As simple as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, Mr. Peter Lynch stresses the importance of a company&#8217;s ability to earn, consistent earnings, and growth in earnings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the earnings details about a company in any basic stock screener. See that the company&#8217;s top line, i.e., the revenue, and the bottom line, that is, the net profit, are rising, and see to it that the EPS, that is, the earnings per share, are also rising. The growth rate must be in line with the industry average or above it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_Financials\"><\/span><strong>Company Financials<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When we say financials, it includes the balance sheet, the P&amp;L, and the cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every company has a story behind it. It\u2019s the financial report that spells out the story. So, basically, to read and understand the business and the story behind it, you must read annual reports. <strong>Yes, I&#8217;m saying reports as in plural because reading a 1-year report gives an analysis of the company and its industry for that year.<\/strong> For example, many companies showed bad earnings during the COVID pandemic. If you were to read just the 2020 report, you&#8217;d highly underestimate the company. Hence, we must read the pre-covid, the covid reports, and the post-covid earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Four_4_phases_of_the_business_life_cycle\"><\/span><strong>Four (4) phases of the business life cycle;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Understanding the different business phases is important before we get into the categories of stocks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here are the four stages of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Start-Up_Phase\"><\/span><strong>(1) Start-Up Phase<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Start-up is a new bud. It begins with an idea that later grows into a full-fledged business.<\/strong> Start-ups have a high mortality rate. So, in general, 90 to 95% of startups fail within the first 3\u20135 years of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example; companies such as &#8220;Zerodha&#8221; and &#8220;Zoho&#8221; were the startups that became successful. I even consider my venture, that is to say, my website, YouTube, and such, to be my startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Growth_Phase\"><\/span><strong>(2) Growth Phase<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When a company gets past its startup difficulties, it gets stronger and starts to lead its industry. <\/strong>Such companies enter the growth phase. Here, we see the companies to have aggressive growth in revenue and market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Mature_Phase\"><\/span><strong>(3) Mature Phase<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the company has command over its market. <strong>They have consistent cash flow, a strong customer base, and a dependable business <\/strong>model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Decline_Phase\"><\/span><strong>(4) Decline Phase<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Those companies that can\u2019t keep up with market demand will start losing out. <\/strong>So comes the decline phase. Here the company will lose to its competitors and, in due time, will die a slow death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, now you know the 4 phases of a company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next major concept is about the 6 different categories of stocks. All companies, whether publicly traded, unlisted, or privately held, can be classified into one of these six categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, learning them will help you understand where the business will head in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Six_6_different_categories_of_companies\"><\/span><strong>Six (6) different categories of companies;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Slow_Growers\"><\/span><strong>(1) Slow Growers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slow growers are those large-cap blue-chip companies that have matured enough to cater to their entire market. These companies were once the fast growers and were the torchbearers in the industry. <strong>They were once the most favorite hot stock. But now that they&#8217;ve grown to this enormous size with no room for expansion, they&#8217;re slowing down.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stocks with a low growth rate are those whose profits and revenues are increasing at a slower rate. A CAGR of 2%\u20135% is typical, which is below average for this sector. Its large and generous payout is a telltale sign that these slowpokes may have been rapid expanders in their early years, but they have since plateaued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Peter Lynch&#8217;s portfolio included several slow-growing companies, the proportion of these &#8220;sluggards&#8221; was extremely low because of his distaste for focusing on them. <strong>Peter Lynch claims that investors have nothing to gain from purchasing these stocks other than dividends. <\/strong>These companies usually have a respectable yield (2% to 4%) and are valuable during a recession since their price is unlikely to drop dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In order to identify a slow grower, ask these questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Is it a large-cap blue-chip company?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the company&#8217;s revenue growth below the industry average?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the growth in single digits not because of inefficiency but because of a saturated market?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the company&#8217;s product a household name?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do most mutual funds and other large institutions prefer to own them?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does this company pay out dividends, and if so, is the <a href=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/best-dividend-paying-stocks-in-india\/\">dividend<\/a> payout consistent and growing over time?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the company valued at a high PE multiple?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If the answer to all or any of these questions is &#8220;yes,&#8221; then you may be looking at a slow grower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Stalwarts\"><\/span><strong>(2) Stalwarts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stalwarts mean loyal or someone who is reliable and hard working.\u00a0<\/strong> In this case, a stalwart is a company that has experienced strong growth, such as double digits, and is the type of company that continues to grow and will become a slow grower in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, any mid- and large-cap companies that have high growth amongst their peers, something that&#8217;s above the industry average and definitely above the country&#8217;s GDP growth rate, can be put into this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter Lynch classifies stocks into six (6) different groups, the second of which is &#8220;stalwarts.&#8221; <strong>These stocks are often held by medium- to large-sized businesses and have a growth rate similar to the industry average. They outperform the laggards in terms of profit growth, often posting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8 to 12 percent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Mr. Peter Lynch, long-term stockholders may expect a satisfactory rate of return from these securities. Most of the time, they end up being &#8220;multiple baggers,&#8221; or investments that give you back more than your initial investment. Peter Lynch suggested including a few reliable stalwarts in your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-wp-embed is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"LEJz8OZZhf\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/absolute-pe-model\/\">How to Value Stocks Using Absolute PE Model<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to Value Stocks Using Absolute PE Model&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/absolute-pe-model\/embed\/#?secret=Uo2xmX2k7I#?secret=LEJz8OZZhf\" data-secret=\"LEJz8OZZhf\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In order to identify a stalwart, ask these questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Is the company one of the top players in the industry?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the top-line growth rate in double digits?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the company the fast grower in its industry?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can the company cater to the market if there are no other competitors?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the growth in earnings increasing steadily over a 5- to 10-year period?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does this company pay out dividends, and if so, is the dividend payout consistent and growing over time?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If the answer to all or any of these questions is &#8220;yes,&#8221; then you may be looking at a stalwart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Cyclicals\"><\/span><strong>(3) Cyclicals<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cyclical businesses are those that have cyclical product demand.

If the economy is strong and flourishing, so is the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyclical equities are those that experience explosive growth during a period of economic prosperity. <strong>Cyclical economies are easily separated from fast-growing ones due to their tendency to repeatedly expand, decline, and expand again.<\/strong> Wherein the fast-growers maintain a constant rate of expansion.

It&#8217;s something in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, <strong>turnarounds are those businesses that haven\u2019t lived up to their expectations but, due to certain changes in the business such as new management, a new business segment, etc., there\u2019s new hope. <\/strong>And that new hope could either make or break this company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A turnaround can be your best investment, but it also has the probability of becoming your worst.

But investors could have a lot of trouble if management can&#8217;t get the company back on track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In order to identify a turnaround, ask these questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Is the company in financial trouble?

As previously mentioned, <strong>&#8220;asset plays&#8221; refer to stocks that are cheap because investors have neglected their assets.<\/strong> This category may include corporate-owned real estate such as properties, equipment, and other types of property because investors frequently ignore them when the market is in a state of extreme turmoil. <strong>Even though the asset value of the firm is higher than its true value, the market capitalization may be lower.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the value of asset plays, Peter Lynch is an expert. He recommends including some of these stocks in your portfolio because of their high potential for appreciation. Yet, the most important consideration when selecting these equities is to accurately determine the value of the assets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In order to identify an Asset play, ask these questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>When you go through the company&#8217;s books, do you feel that the quantifiable asset value is not priced right by the market?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the company in business for multiple decades and being neglected by broad market participants?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does the company have major tangible assets on its books?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the business in manufacturing, which has a high entry barrier?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the company a public sector undertaking or was it part of one in the past?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If the answer to all or any of these questions is &#8220;yes,&#8221; then you may be looking at an asset play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ve made efforts to bring to light the two major concepts: <strong>(1) Mr. Peter Lynch&#8217;s checklist before selecting stocks, and (2) the six different categories of business as per Sir Peter Lynch.<\/strong> Because these stocks have different qualities, they may appeal to a wide range of investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading this article in its entirety, you should be able to classify any stock on the Indian stock market into one of Peter Lynch&#8217;s six categories of stocks with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t stress enough the importance of identifying these categories, putting your company into one of them, and then looking at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Each company behaves in a certain manner when it is in a certain business cycle, or in this case, a certain category of growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the next time you do research on any company, just take a step back and try to put that company into any of these categories.
