Keystats

Revenue and Growth

The Graco Revenue and Revenue Growth are pivotal to understanding the company's financial health and operational efficiency. A consistent increase in revenue indicates a company’s ability to effectively market and sell its products or services, while the revenue growth percentage offers insights into the pace at which the company is expanding over the years.

Gross Margin

The Gross Margin is a crucial metric that showcases the percentage of revenue exceeding the cost of goods sold (COGS). A higher gross margin is indicative of a company’s efficiency in controlling its production costs, thereby promising potential profitability and financial stability.

EBIT and EBIT Margin

EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) and EBIT Margin offer deep insights into a company’s profitability, excluding the impacts of interest and taxes. Investors often assess these metrics to gauge the operational efficiency and inherent profitability of a business, separate from its financial structure and tax environment.

Income and Growth

Net Income and its subsequent growth are quintessential for investors looking to understand a company’s profitability. Consistent income growth underscores a company’s ability to enhance its profitability over time, reflecting operational efficiency, strategic competitiveness, and financial health.

Shares Outstanding

Shares outstanding refer to the total number of shares a company has issued. It's instrumental in calculating key metrics like Earnings Per Share (EPS) which is pivotal for investors to evaluate a company’s profitability on a per-share basis, offering a more granular view of financial health and valuation.

Interpreting Year to Year Comparison

Comparing yearly data allows investors to identify trends, assess the company’s growth, and anticipate potential future performance. Analyzing how metrics like revenue, income, and margins change year over year can provide valuable insights into the company’s operational efficiency, competitiveness, and overall financial health.

Expectations and Predictions

Investors often juxtapose the current and past financial data with the market’s expectations. This comparison aids in assessing whether the Graco is performing as anticipated, underperforming or outperforming the market predictions, providing pivotal data for investment decisions.

Fair Value

Understanding Fair Value

The fair value of a stock provides insights into whether the stock is currently undervalued or overvalued. It is calculated based on profit, revenue, or dividends and offers a comprehensive perspective of the stock’s intrinsic value.

Income-Based Fair Value

This is calculated by multiplying the earnings per share by the average P/E ratio of the selected past years for smoothing. If the fair value is higher than the current market price, it suggests that the stock is undervalued.

Example 2022

Fair Value Profit 2022 = Earnings per Share 2022 / Average P/E Ratio 2019 - 2021 (3 Years Smoothing)

Revenue-Based Fair Value

It is derived by multiplying the revenue per share by the average price-to-sales ratio of the selected past years for smoothing. An undervalued stock is identified if the fair value exceeds the ongoing market price.

Example 2022

Fair Value Revenue 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 / Average PSR 2019 - 2021 (3 Years Smoothing)

Dividend-Based Fair Value

This value is determined by dividing the dividend per share by the average dividend yield of the selected past years for smoothing. A higher fair value than the market price indicates an undervalued stock.

Example 2022

Fair Value Dividend 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 * Average Dividend Yield 2019 - 2021 (3 Years Smoothing)

Expectations and Forecasts

Future expectations provide potential trajectories for stock prices and aid investors in decision-making. The expected values are forecasted figures of fair value, taking into account the growth or decline trends of profit, revenue, or dividend.

Comparative Analysis

Comparing the fair value based on profit, revenue, and dividend provides a holistic overview of the stock’s financial health. Observing the annual and per-annual variations contributes to understanding the consistency and reliability of stock performance.

Payout ratio

What is Yearly Payout Ratio?

The yearly payout ratio for Graco represents the proportion of earnings paid out as dividends to shareholders. It is an indicator of the company's financial health and stability, illustrating how much profit is being returned to investors versus being reinvested back into the company.

How to Interpret the Data

A lower payout ratio for Graco could mean that the company is reinvesting more into its growth, whereas a higher ratio indicates more earnings are being distributed as dividends. Investors seeking regular income might prefer companies with a higher payout ratio, while those looking for growth may opt for companies with a lower ratio.

Using the Data for Investments

Evaluate Graco's payout ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and performance indicators. A sustainable payout ratio, coupled with strong financial health, can indicate a reliable dividend payout. However, a very high ratio might suggest the company is not sufficiently reinvesting in its future growth.
