Buy These Most Profitable Stocks to Rake in Big Gains
Using profitability analysis, we can evaluate a company’s ability to provide satisfactory returns to its investors even after meeting all its business-related costs and expenses. This analysis makes a profitable company a preferred choice over loss-making ones.
The most successful way to identify a company’s profitability is by using ratio analysis. There are four important profitability ratios — gross income ratio, operating income ratio, pre-tax profit margin and net income ratio. Here, we have selected the most transparent and commonly used profitability ratio – net income ratio.
Net Income Ratio
Net income ratio gives us the exact profit level of a company. It reflects the percentage of net income to total sales revenue. Using net income ratio, one can determine a company’s capability to bear all its operating and non-operating expenses from its sales revenue. A higher net income ratio usually implies a company’s ability to generate ample sales revenue and successfully manage all its business functions.
Screening Parameters
Net income ratio is not the only indicator of future winners. So, we have added a few more criteria to arrive at a winning strategy.
