The most important ratio is Net Profit Margin percentage or Net margin. It tells us how much out of every sale ASHOKLEY gets to keep after everything else has been paid for. It is highly variable from one industry sector to another. An ideal company has consistent profit margins.Gross Profit Margin = ( Revenue - Cost of Revenue ) / RevenueNet Profit Margin = Net Income / Revenue
From an investor's perspective, ROE is a key ratio. The ROE (after subtracting preferred shares) tells common shareholders how effectively their money is being employed. Ideal long term average ROE should be above 15%.Average 2 year ROE of Ashok Leyland Ltd. :Β 12%Return on Equity = ( Net Income - Preferred Dividend ) / Shareholder's Equity
Current Ratio measures the company's current assets against its current liabilities. Ideally the current ratio should be greater than 1.5. Avoid investing in companies whose current ratio is less than 1. There are exceptions to this rule, some good companies can have less than 1 or even a negative current ratio when they receive money faster from their customers than they have to pay to their vendors.
An interest coverage ratio less than 1.5 is a red flag. The higher the ratio the less a company is burdened by debt. If a company has no debt or the loan interest is being paid by interest income from investments or other activities the ratio is zero which of course is excellent. A negative ratio tells us that the company cannot even pay its interest on loans from its operating income, stay far away from such companies.
