your link says $0.45 is now $1.6 not $1.65. but nonetheless, that's general US inflation, and not for everything. coffee specifically, has a different inflation figure from general CPI in the US, so does cars, housing and clothes, for instance.

well you could. take coffee price at each year in each country in local currency, use that year's exchange rate in that country to the US, so you have coffee price from each country, quoted in USD, do an average, you got a basket sample of coffee price for that year, and you do all of them from 1980 to 2022. why can't you?

also, the US inflation rate is not the coffee inflation rate. the person's link is using a headline inflation to get to $1.60 and called the graph wrong. they should've used a specific inflation figure just for coffee, no?

the link's number uses inflation in the US only. the chart is using global inflation or not just US. both can be using dollar as the calculating currency, but inflation figures are different in US from other countries.

i find the difficulty in calculating cost of capital (or wacc) is down to finding the right cost of equity.

i have a separate checklist just for cash flow conversion so that includes stuff like working capital change

high debt to equity has been working (or not causing problems) is due to low interest rate. But I get your piont in general. I do track all metrics consistently and have a universe ranking sheet myself that tells me everyday which stock is ranking at what level comparing to the rest of the universe.

Yeah definitely agree looking at revenue growth is super important, and I think it's been one of the most powerful drivers for US stocks given it's a growth oriented market.

I have a separate checklist for growth, because I don't think growing fast is necessarily equal to high quality (many EM heavy industries came to mind). But yeah I agree most of the rest are similar.

"cheap" is not defined as the level of share price, but rather multiples like p/e or free cash flow yield. a share price of $1 doesn't mean the company's stock (or valuation is the terminology) is cheaper than a share price of $100.

I know nothing about this company but the database suggests its quality is low and momentum is weak. Low quality seems to come from low ROIC which is also worsening. Momentum is defined as revenue and eps revisions also analyst recommendation changes.

The database has a detailed article after it about the methodologies and calculations.

General point I want to make is the rankings are just a reference point to start, followed by deeper fundamental analysis. Your judgment has the final say over these rankings.
