Tobias Carlisle: Acquirer's Multiple
Buys from Tobias Carlisle’s screen: what would an acquirer pay for the whole business? Market cap and debt together may be no more than eight times operating profit over the last four quarters, that is profit before interest and taxes; that profit has to be positive, and the company has to be worth at least 200 million dollars. Financials are excluded because the number says little about them, and cash is missing from the dataset, which makes the number skew high rather than low. Only shares our own deep-dive analysis rates green are bought — yellow or no analysis at all is not enough. New positions are added four times a year; a share is sold as soon as it no longer meets the criteria or is no longer rated green. If the list holds no green-rated share, the portfolio stays in cash.
