I have made my first attempt to fill out an RM Essentials spreadsheet. The company I chose was Intel. Since this is my first time I was wondering if any of you could check my work. I plan on researching a number of companies and want make sure I know how to crunch the numbers. Here is how rated Intel on the first 5 criteria: 1. Dominant Brand - Yes 2. Repeat Purchases - I said No due to the infrequent nature of return purchases. 3. Convenience - I said Yes due to the fact it is hard to by a PC without the Intel Inside logo slapped on it. 4. Expanding Possibilities - I said Yes because of everyone's familiarity with Intel and the continued potential for worldwide sales. 5. My Familiarity & Interest - I said Yes, of course. For the 5 quantitative criteria, I used the 3Q 1999 10-Q that I linked to from The Fool. The income statement numbers were for 9 months ending Sep '99: Sales: 21,177 Prior year sales: 18,659 Cost of goods sold: 8,660 Net income: 5,206 Cash & Equiv: 13,544 Current Assets: 17,916 Current Liabilities: 6,389 ST Debt: 164 LT Debt: 884 These gave me the following results: Sales Growth: 13.5% Gross Margins: 59.1% Net Margins: 24.6% Cash-to-Debt Ratio: 12.9 Foolish Flow Ratio: 0.70 The final result was 14 out a possible 15 points. Not bad. Do my numbers look correct? Is there a way to get more recent financial data, or should I always stick to the SEC filings? Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, RD |
