In our previous lessons, we explored the key multiples that are used when picking or analyzing stocks. It stands to mention that this information may suffice for individual investors although there is always room to learn. However, this type of assessment is more of a rough analysis and generally lacks thoroughness.
As far as investment funds, banks, and investment companies are concerned, you will have to research them in a more in-depth way using financial modeling and possible algorithms. This is a much more expensive and time-consuming process.
Now let's try to analyze the multiples we have considered previously and which you will definitely come across on exchange websites. This time our focus is on Intel company.
Market Capitalization = Total Number of Shares Allotted by the Company * Current Market Price of each Share = 4.06 billion * $57.48 = $233.37 billion
P/E = Market Price per Share / Earnings per Share = (233.37 / 4.06) / 4.45 = 12.92

Forward P/E = Market Price per Share / Projected Earnings per Share = (233.37 / 4.06) / 4.58 = 12.55

PEG = P/E Ratio / EPS Growth = 12.92 / 5.43 = 2.38

P/S = Market Capitalization / Total Revenue (TTM) = 233.37 / 77.71 = 3.01

Price-to-FCF = Share Price / Free Cash Flow per Share (TTM) = 57.48 / 4.57 = 12.58

Quick ratio = (Total Current Assets − Total Inventories) / Total Liabilities = (45.77 – 8.49) / 24.15 = 1.54
Current Ratio = Total Current Assets / Total Liabilities = 45.77 / 24.15 = 1.90
Debt/Equity = (2.65 + 33.24) / 79.81 = 0.45
LT Debt/Equity = 33.24 / 79.81 = 0.42
Net Debt/EBITDA = (2.65 + 33.24) / 27.99 = 1.28
EV/EBITDA (TTM) = 240.58 / 35.15 = 6.84
Gross Margin (TTM) = Gross Profit / Revenue = 10.85 / 19.67 * 100 = 55.17%
Operating Margin (TTM) = Operating Income / Revenue = 5.9 / 19.67 * 100 = 30%
Net Margin (TTM) = Net Income / Revenue = 3.36 / 19.67 = 17.08%
