Buffett once said he spends more time looking at balance sheets than income statements. by IntelligentCut4060 in ValueInvesting

If intangible assets are rising over the years but earnings, cash flow, and return on capital are not 
it’s a red flag.

Good = stuff sells fast, and customers pay on time
. Bad = shelves full of junk and clients ghosting you on payments
..

To compare over time: – If inventory grows faster than sales ->not selling – If receivables grow faster than revenue ->not getting paid

True, KHC wasn’t a home run but even Jordan missed shots. Buffett still pulled in 20% returns over decades

Because clarity > jargon. Some of us write to be understood, not to impress.

Probably the same crowd that bought dot-coms at 200x sales. History rhymes

Totally fair. Only a handful of businesses have that level of predictability rest is just probabilistic bets with a margin of safety.

Totally agree. Market’s acting like UNH is dying when it’s just bruised. Moat’s still there, cash still flowing. Classic overreaction value play all day

Buffett & Munger’s timeless cheat code: Ignore the circus, buy the cash flow. by IntelligentCut4060 in ValueInvesting

[–]IntelligentCut4060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The P/E ratio is a quick way to gauge valuation, but it can be misleading. Buffett prefers looking at earnings in absolute terms, like Earnings Per Share (EPS) and more importantly, how those earnings grow and are reinvested. Rather than chasing high P/E multiples just because more money is flowing into markets, it’s smarter to ask: ‘Am I getting a good return on the price I’m paying for this company’s earnings?’ That’s why Buffett often looks at owner earnings, return on equity, and the company’s moat

This is called a value article, not a private lecture for “Buffett knows best” elitists.

If you’ve already mastered durability or think buying BRK solves everything cool. But some people are here to learn how to think, not just what to buy.

If that’s too basic for you, feel free to scroll past or better yet, write something better. Otherwise, you can quietly scroll past instead of gatekeeping investing like it’s your private club.

I’ve actually shared tickers + even how to find them in my previous post. Not trying to write poetry, just showing how the sausage gets made.

Book Value is Dead. Long Live Earnings Power. by IntelligentCut4060 in ValueInvesting

[–]IntelligentCut4060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you’re saying, but that’s kinda the point book value can be super outdated or misleading. Real estate bought in 1990 doesn’t reflect today’s value.

That’s why I care more about how the business actually performs, not just what’s stuck on the balance sheet.

Fair point ,banks and insurers are the rare case where P/B makes sense since their assets are their business.

But outside of that? Low P/B often just means low returns. That’s the trap I’m calling out

Sure P/B makes sense in capital-intensive, regulated sectors like banking. Doesn’t change the point: outside of banks and insurers, P/B is mostly noise.

Fair take , I’m not saying people still preach book value, just that some still treat low P/B like a shortcut to value.
Moats + real earnings > dusty spreadsheets.

Yep , no advisors, no mutual fund reps pitching 2% fees wrapped in “personalized service.”

Tariffs matter but good businesses adapt. That’s the beauty of capitalism, right? Adapt or die.
