Growth still explosive
Growth is slowing
14
Ask some questions: size of company, consistency of sales and earnings, long-term and recent trends,
comparison of growth rates, etc.
15
• % Pre-tax Profit on Sales (Profit Margin) should be steady or rising– KEY measure of management effectiveness– Industry comparisons are valuable
• % Earned on Equity (ROE) should be steady or rising– 15% or greater is a good number– Great companies achieve ROE of 20% or more
16
As a general rule, the percentage debt to capital ratio should be less than 33%.

The Stock Selection Guide is not a formula to be blindly followed. It is a guide to
judgment, and aid to judgment, but not a substitute
for judgment.Ralph Seger

It begins with sales . . . earnings follow sales and stock price follows

Once growth rates for sales and earnings have been selected, the projected sales and EPS five

You have CHOICES for the fifth judgment - LOW PRICE.
As beginners, we urge you to choose choice (a). If choice (a) gives you an unreasonable low price, rethink your Average Low P/E judgment.
34
A reasonable low price choice should be 15-20% or more
below the current price.
