This blog describes and gives examples of a particular quantitative methodology, relying on published financial statements, to analyze businesses. The methodology does not evaluate every aspect of a company's finances or operations. Other analytical techniques may be better suited to some evaluations, depending on the type of business or the goals of the analysis. The material in the blog is not investment advice, nor does it constitute an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. The author might have, might once have had, or might be considering a position in the companies mentioned. Specific positions will not be disclosed. While good-faith efforts are made to use reliable information sources and to provide accurate analytical results, accuracy is not guaranteed. All results are subject to change without notification. Application of the analytical methodology described in this blog requires that various assumptions be made. The assumptions are generally not disclosed and are subject to error, invalidating some or all of the analysis results. In looking for trends, recent financial data is compared to historical financial data; however, underlying differences in the assumptions or presentation of the data might degrade or invalidate these comparisons and could produce erroneous or misleading results. Readers should independently validate any information in this blog that causes them to consider making or not making a financial transaction.
